I hear you. Researching is very difficult, complicated, time consuming and often confusing!
In my experience if you keep looking and trust your gut, you will find the answers you are looking for. And they might be very different from the answers you though you needed when you started looking.
That is a 100% for sure!! I look back and think it's funny what I first thought of as the "solution to my problems".
Luckily, I'm a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) by trade. So finding stuff is easier for me, thank Glob!
And I feel like the hours of research I put in today led me to a breakthrough of sorts. And I might look back and think "I was way off!". But I swear I'm so close!!
fyi - my "breakthrough" was deciding that it was the Enterovirus that triggered it all... for me. Prolonged stress period
>> weaker intestinal mucosa barrier
>> enterovirus finding a home, causing gut dysbiosis
>> reservoir for viral persistence
>> inflammation and tissue damage in the gut mucosa, Beta cells (β cells) infection and damage, immune dysfunction
>> button pressed for all prison cell doors to open... and re-activation of dormant viruses
>> me=tired
(added difficulty because I don't believe the chronic active enterovirus infection was directly causing fatigue at all)
