Summary
MrTwoToedSloth, mostly housebound and limited to about one activity a week before a week-long flare-up, assembled a broad mitochondrial-support stack (CoQ10, acetyl-L-carnitine, nicotinamide riboside, creatine, D-ribose and more) and noticed improvement at one month, a "huge" jump at two months, and further gains by three months. By the report he judged himself about 75% better, with PEM shrinking from days/weeks/months to hours, and was cautiously stress-testing more exercise and part-time work.

Credits Supplements, AHCC and medicinal mushrooms (reishi, shiitake, maitake), Carnitine, BCAA, amino acids, CoQ10 / ubiquinol, Creatine, NAD+ boosters (NMN, nicotinamide riboside, NADH, ATP).
