    Hi keoMagnes,Welcome to the group!From everything I have read while dealing with this chapter of BFS; TwitchBFS's write up of his experience and how he walked the road to recovery is the single best resource I have found; both in terms of identifying with his symptoms and finding his remediation...

    Dealing with BFS onset at 33y/o

    Hi KeoMagnes,Well, I made it through that really difficult period. In everything that I have experienced so far; and this will look familiar -- nothing effects my symptoms more strongly than quality/amount of sleep (or lack of)Supplements don't seem to make any difference at all.I have been...
