FWIW, I’m throwing in my 2 cents, after having been to Incline Village 35 years ago, then 6 months later coming down with this plague, CFS, ME, whatever It is.
How to perceive it, in layman’s terms, from one who has chased relief all these years? Consider MECFS, a neurological disorder attributed to stress. The bottom line is that the HEPA axis in the brain getting stuck on wide open. This is where the anxiety hormone production occurs, secreting adrenaline (epinephrine), dopamine, cortisol , et al full time, up regulated rather being on call for distribution when needed.
This chronic upregulation yields varying systemic conditions ranging from severe insomnia to systemic pain to multiple simultaneous symptoms ultimately concluding in total disability. While mind-over-matter meditations can help manage one’s tolerance of the symptoms the best symptoms treatment lies in slowing down the body’s immune system and anxiety. A medical cure remains not as yet on the near horizon since the dynamics were only recently presented in medical schools.
IMO, a reasonable Rx protocol can be had with an empathic, open-minded physician who can think outside the box of outmoded, memorized textbook dogma. Palliatives, if not HEPA regulators are the use of long acting benzodiazepines, e.g. diazepam (Valium) and other neurological depressant… .
Most here can readily access and assemble relative research or clinical experience, piecemeal for presentation to a specialist, caring physician; most usually only vaguely familiar with the dynamics of the treating neuro-processing. Finding that professional is the trick. Forget chasing viral mediation or esoteric cryptic cellular attackers; we’ve got the damn plague! Pursue comfort while the illuminati in labs with test tubes chase down the etiology.
