Yeah I fasted for the first time last year, and it pretty much immediately turned off a pain response due to an overactive immune response
I got the idea from a book, and it worked
When I ate again, it came back, but I was definitely relieved of pain for awhile. Thankfully the whole episode subsided after about 6 weeks, but it was comforting to know that I could turn it off by fasting.
- DenisM 1y agoHow many hours of not eating does it take to kick in?
- Paracompact 1y agoFor me, it has to be long enough for me to notice the hunger, and then for the hunger to subside. Between that point and lethargy/dizziness is a pretty zen place for me. (Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, and I have no experience with eating disorders.)
- chubot 1y agoI think it was after around 24 hours, and I did almost a 72 hour fast
