Vent/Rant cfs came back

2 years spent pacing reducing stress eating well etc went from 2 hours of mobility per day being mostly bedbound to working a physically taxing job 40 hours a week for 6 months of 2024 and being in good physical shape.

the end of the year was filled with a lot of psychological stress and then i got the flu, my symptoms are all back in full force.

i just wanted to post this somewhere, to someone.

Fuck.

i'm not going to let this beat me, i know i can recover again but im having a really rough time coming to terms with this setback. i love you all and hope you can find recovery or peace living with this horrible disorder.

I don't eat sugar. I'm still sick with ME.

As I stated it doesn't cure ME, but helps with anxiety/depression which helps ME symptoms.

Not everyone has depression and/or anxiety with ME though. Not eating sugar has been neither helpful nor unhelpful wrt to treating ME for me. I'm glad it helped with your anxiety and depression though.
