Summary
Tried a mind-body recovery approach similar to another poster's Be Your Own Medicine program, closely self-tracking pulse, temperature, sleep, digestion, symptoms, mood and menstrual cycle. Illness history and severity are not detailed in the post. Initially believed the approach had worked and felt recovered, but later concluded they had been gaslit by that framework and that the improvement did not hold. Warns that many people with ME/CFS have gotten worse after similar approaches; no further follow-up is given.
