Summary
After 8 months in a severe state, Elike reports that four weeks of berberine and curcumin brought her back to her "pre-severe" baseline and that she no longer feels constantly in PEM mode. She notes that when she tried to replicate the protocol a few months later (Jan 2022) it did not work the same way, so the benefit was not reliably reproducible even for her.
