Cortene... I heard of this recently and thought "doesn't THC do similarly?", but likely to be less toxic (as prescription drugs are sometimes known to be).
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!
Created in 2008, Phoenix Rising is the largest and oldest forum dedicated to furthering the understanding of, and finding treatments for, complex chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, long COVID, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and allied diseases.

My experience is the opposite, 15 years of ME that has never remitted and over exertion has caused permanent worsening.Yes, the lack of actual damage is definitely grounds for optimism. My experience with multiple full-but-temporary remissions is that ME is a state that we can switch into and out of over a space of minutes
State switching and feeling normal for short periods of time can be explained by normal neurochemical/micronutrient/mitochondrial balance in the brain
Cortene hypothesis explains ME/CFS very accurately.

I answered 6-10 years.
I don’t know anything about THCCan you explain your remark about THC versus Cortene? Sounds like I won't be finding any Cortene, any time soon.
...this is getting old, isn't it?
I think the damage done to our bodies is irreversible in the sense that I don't believe we will get back to "before we were sick",
Yes, the lack of actual damage is definitely grounds for optimism. My experience with multiple full-but-temporary remissions is that ME is a state that we can switch into and out of over a space of minutes, which implies that the core dysfunction is one of those rapid reactions (protein synthesis or some such thing).
I think it's quite possible that a PWME could go to a doctor, get a prescription, take a pill, and be back to full ME-free some minutes later.
That's definitely not my experience, switching in and out?
There are too many sub types.
