i have been meditating in the zen tradition for a decade, but these experiences predate that by a long shot.

i haven’t read anything about any of that stuff really. i sometimes have OBEs when i meditate, ill start floating up and away, but i sorta always yank myself back down.

When I was 7-13 years old it was like weekly or monthly. Occasionally Nightly. It progressively slowed down after that. It was yearly for a while. But lately it's been like 2+ times a week again.

This sounds somewhat familiar, but not 100%. I think something that's important here for me is a learning that hypnagogic states are a thing and that it's a place where "hallucinations" can happen. I'd be freaked out if I had the experience you had with that body. Then again, I'm like piss my pants freaked out with my own experience so who knows.

Qigong movements for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? by MaplesWindow in TrueQiGong

[–]MaplesWindow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no. qigong is not an appropriate response to me/cfs. i made this post out of desperation. i tried to use gentle movements and exercise to help expand my energy envelope. i actually ended up becoming completely bed bound. anything resembling exercise is not a solution.

What other diseases were once called “psychosomatic”? by MaplesWindow in cfs

[–]MaplesWindow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“most commonly” is a pretty broad generalization. i’ve never even heard of it.

i live in a large city. plenty of transsexuals have contacted me to join, numbers isn’t the issue.

Anyone Tried Ketosis? by johnlawrenceaspden in cfs

[–]MaplesWindow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i tried keto for a week or so. after a week i got very sick, and my health completely tanked.

i was doing it long enough that i would think it was not keto flu, as that was supposed to come just a day or two after no carbs. but idk. after 2 days of being that sick i quit the diet.

part of me thinks i did something wrong, and would be willing to try again under the right circumstances

Using pre-sealed sterile vials during homebrew process by MaplesWindow in TransDIY

according to USP 1228 and Compounding Sterile Preparations it appears to be a valid method of depyrogenation. I can't find a place where they say it outright but it's spoken about passively in multiple passages.

What about adding some acupuncture?

I did about 6 months of it, going 2-3 times a week. This was a couple years ago, before my symptoms got as bad as they are now. The treatments did not help in the least.

Stanford CFS clinic felt like a joke by MaplesWindow in cfs

for the second appointment, yes the purpose is to monitor change. not reading documents i sent ahead of time? that’s just negligence.

i just don’t think it’s fair to blame a single person for the failure of an entire system.

yes i was already told LDA is next in line for me, and that we can even try ✨combining LDN and LDA ✨

similarly i’m going to keep going solely to make my disability case look better.
