It's probably one of those illnesses like cluster headaches that can be treated with a currently-illegal drug like psychedelic mushrooms.

  Ketamine works wonders for them too. Clinical trials are happening for mushrooms as well.

    Ketamine is already used medically, correct? I'd imagine that would be easier to push/study because of that. Still super glad to see psychs being studied. It always frustrated me that due to scheduling in the US it was much harder to study them.

      Yeah, ketamine is used as a sedative and painkiller in people who don't tolerate opioids. It's used off-label in low doses for treatment of depression and chronic migraines -- though is almost always administered by a doctor in a structured theraputic regimen. The success of an approved drug like ketamine in treating depression and chronic migraines has opened the doors for studying other hallucinogens.

Going into details will just invite more down votes. You can look through my older posts if you really want to know. I talked about it a bit when I first created this account.

  Fine. I looked. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome treated by chelation therapy. His hypothesis is that mercury poisoning caused it. OP is not an anti-vaxxer but was accused of being one because they blamed mercury. OP also had bone fractures and fascia disintegration. OP also had tense forearm muscles (?) described as 'rock hard' due to RSI. I don't know why you're being so vague about it. It's likely you're being downvoted for the vagueness rather than anything else. Still, he has an email listed if you're curious.

    Thanks for the summary. (edit: although I do not think CFS is an appropriate diagnosis as it doesn't even come close to describing all the symptoms.) I led with the details on a different account. My karma was destroyed and afaict my posting privileges were revoked for posting too frequently with explanations. I don't think you understand the huge amount of anger that some people have towards people like me saying mercury caused this illness. Leading vaguely and easing people into the details prevents my karma from being destroyed. I'm not sure how else to handle this except by not talking about it at all, but the only way I can make meaning out of my experience is to help others with the same illness, so I will continue to do so. I found the cure from posts like the one's I make now. I'm paying it forward.

      Thank you for the context, but I wouldn't defend yourself in this thread: you already have one person narrating your posting history, and another cursing at you (in seeming rage) for not oversharing. Who would have thought that, on HN of all places, a request for privacy would be interpreted as a license for abuse?

        When you claim to have superior knowledge than the medical establishment and allege that there's a "cabal" in opposition to your miracle cure, you cannot expect to be taken seriously while withholding information. That's a very clear "put up or shut up" situation.
