I am following the Joshua Leisk protocol v 3.2 The latest protocol can be found here: (https://www.researchgate.net/public...for_Rapid_Testing_of_HASD_CFSME_Disease_Model
Started to feel a bit off this week, thought the protocol was either ramping up my immune system (which to be honest made no sense based on the last 4 months) or it wasn't working.
But my girlfriend and I are both sick with some sort of virus, both got aches and pains, nausea, headache (her not me), and very run down. Also fuzzy head (her) dizziness (me). I also had an ulcer the week before last which I haven't had on this protocol once.
My girlfriend is a key worker so I guess she might have picked it up from work. Lateral flow is negative but I have got a PCR as well just in case.
Other than that I removed EGCG from the protocol and have felt a bit calmer but overall not much difference. Haven't tested my reaction to exercise yet as not been well enough, but I am hoping to ditch the egcg completely over adrenal fatigue worries.
I also got a large bank of tests done on Weds which will be checking kidneys, liver, hormones inc dhea and t levels, vitamin d and b12. So I'll be interested to see what these look like, especially as I recently got quite a bit of sun and am taking 4000iu per day vitamin d.
So yes due to the virus can't give much of an update, but so far not completely "flattened" by it like I normally am. But so weird to get a virus in August! Don't remember having that happen working remotely (last 2 years) ever. Of course when I was mingling among people it probably did happen. However I vividly remember going through a phase where as soon as it rained I got a cold....this was years ago in the early ME stages so who knows!
