It's been a few weeks where I've been trying to work through dosages and new medications, seeing what could possibly help my PEM (aripiprazole, anti-histamine, B2, SAM-e).
Nothing has really worked lately except for today -- attempted paracetamol after my stomach was feeling slightly achey / acidic from a meal. This last period I have also had an IBS flare, perhaps due to the high vitamin B2 supplement or some other medication's effect.
I was feeling really brain fogged and with some significant amount of PEM. Picked up paracetamol (sublingual powder) since I was running errands while at work. The paracetamol did two things: instantly pull me out of PEM / brain fog and revert my IBS flare.
This has happened to me once or twice before (where I really took notice that it was overtly and expediently helping my symptoms). Has this been the case for anyone else? The drug is extremely common. Therefore, I wondered if someone benefited at one point or another from paracetamol and if they had clues as to its mechanism for ME/CFS and PEM. The effect was not just temporary (a few hours) but lasted throughout the day and allowed me to expend energy properly, and sharply.
