This is huge. The afternoon crash has been part of my illness since the beginning. My functional hours of the day were 11:00 AM - 2 PM. Maybe a second wind late at night, but that only contributed to my insomnia. I got nothing accomplished. For like 20 years.
I can go for a whole day now. Work days are hard. They wipe me out. But I'm super productive around the house on non-work days.
This is a miracle. I do lie down for herxing, but that's maybe two hours. Then my energy comes right back.
I have an important article to post tomorrow. Going to bed now.
Everyone, just keep treating. It takes forever, but when the improvements come, it is life-changing.

I came here to ask the same exact question!
Posted by BoxerMom (Member # 25251) on :
Haha! Nope, I don't think it's the oil.
Supplement-wise, I am up to 3mg of LDN and I take it with my first meal. It has been a tremendous boost to my energy overall.
I also added a high dose (3 grams/day) of Taurine, which is from the research I'll post tonight. I think it's making a big difference.
And my Babs' load is minimal now, though I'm still treating for it. Babesia has been an exhausting and crashy bug for me.
Posted by BoxerMom (Member # 25251) on :
Babs really impaired my HPA axis, which has been the source of my adrenal fatigue for years.
I think my brain is recovering, so my adrenals are working normally. I can tolerate some carbs now, too. Much better cortisol regulation.

Wow, that's great news. What do you attribute to your success?
Posted by CD57 (Member # 11749) on :
BTW are you taking cortef for adrenals or anything else to strengthen?

Posted by BoxerMom (Member # 25251) on :
No. I gobbled adrenal support for 15 years and my adrenals never improved.
The only thing that's worked for my adrenals is treating my infections.
D-ribose helped my hypothalamus, though.
