Sharing this in case it helps anyone.

My wife suffered from CFS for over 10 years. In the final stage she could hardely walk anymore because of the muscle pain, and was on 26 pills per day.

We spent years on trying all kinds of stuff and seeing all kinds of doctors. What 'cured' her in the end was us figuring out for ourselves that what was diagnosed as CFS was actually closer to insuline resistance.

After some experimentation we went on a ketosis diet. Three months later she felt fine, her blood work was perfect, almost no more pills. Six months later she was off the pills, and even able to get pregnant (wasn't possible before because of the pills).

Now we're a happy healthy family :-)

Maybe this helps someone who is in a similar boat.

Any chance nocturnal seizures were a factor? Ketosis would address that and most with epilepsy only have nocturnal seizures (not nec involving movement) and are never diagnosed.
