What approaches are there for treating ME/CFS?
- cjbgkagh 3y agoIt depends on the cause but for the TNXB subset which is probably a big chunk of them there is hGH peptides, Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), low dose modafinil, amitriptyline, IGF-agonists (semaglutide/ozempic), low dose naltrexone (LDN), TUDCA, eliminate sugar (including fruit) from diet, melatonin, UV-A light therapy in eyes during the day, blue light blocking glasses at night, sleep hygiene, lower stress lifestyle, supplemental T3 hormone, caffeine, and resistance exercise. Cardio above a fast walk should probably be eliminated due to post exertional malaise (PEM). The cause of PEM is a tough one that I’m still working on.
- wburglett 3y agoFor PEM specifically have you had any experience with pyridostigmine or cumin (the kitchen spice)?
- cjbgkagh 3y agoI’ve tried Enalapril which seems similar to Pyridostigmine, I ended up with pretty strong blood pressure swings. I’ll check it out though. The problem with testing PEM for me is the extreme downside if the test fails, it could be many months before I’m good again. Instead of trying these things myself I’m more apt to crowd source from people who I know that also have PEM and more open to testing it.
