I voted for moderate improvement. If I hadn't already done Rich's methylation and hadn't been taking methyl B12 for years it may have been major improvement.
I'm really happy with the results of Freddd's protocol after 2 months. I had a stiff back for 2 weeks at first and when that went away my back was stronger. For years I've had a really weak upper body and found it very uncomfortable that I couldn't walk with a strong straight back. Well, now I can and I'm loving it. As soon as the stiff back was gone it was like someone put a metal rod in my back and pulled up on my head. Just wonderful. Still not like a healthy person of course.
I also have less muscle aches. Turmeric had made that better but now it's even better. Barely any problems at all haven't needed a massage since I started on the protocol. Some of this could be that it's summertime and I have less problems in summer with this, though.
Another major result is that I can now read for long periods of time. I was at the level of able to read for short periods of time which was an improvement for not being able to read at all but now I can keep reading and keep reading like before I got sick. I love this one. I don't have the full cognition like I did before I got sick but it is nearly there. Wow.
My sound sensitivity is a little better from the level I was at, which was better than when it was really bad.
My toleration of crowds is better.
The weird feeling in my head and slight dizziness is a little better.
I don't get anxious as easily. That was really improved anyway, but there's another slight level of calm that I didn't have before.
My ADD is better. My brain moves more slowly and evenly, step by step instead of making huge crazy jumps. It's weird because I had a super quick brain which was good in some ways but this has much more advantages. I'm also less restless which is nice.
My patience is better (except when I'm driving, there's no cure for how you feel sitting in Atlanta traffic).
I can recover more quickly from exertion now. But of course I still have to be just as careful and rest just as much. I'm talking about 'exertion' in terms of how a ME/CFS person sees it. Such as if I do a little more one day I don't pay for it at all the next day. Wow. (Key word being a LITTLE more) Still really great.
I'm sure I left something out. Being sick for so long makes you (or at least me) very insensitive to changes and health cues.
My husband noticed a difference and asked me what has changed and I told him it was a couple months of Freddd's protocol.
I just got my genetic test back and I'm still researching it but I do have a heterozygous MTHFR C677T rs1801133 AG mutation, a homozygous MTRR A66G rs1801394 GG mutation and a MTRR A664A rs1802059 AA mutation.
I'm really sorry if this makes anyone feel badly especially if the protocol didn't work for them. I kind of hate reporting improvements for this reason.
Sending love to anyone who feels bad.
a big THANK YOU VERY MUCH to
@Freddd. Thank you for working on this and sharing it with us. Really.
