The irony of warning not to take medical advice on HN, and then proceeding to offer alternative medical advice...
This, despite the fact that Doctors do actually prescribe stimulants for CFS.
Medical information couched as "I'm not an expert, here's my experience and some supporting references, your mileage may vary" tends to fly far better than doubling down on dissing opposing viewpoints or wildly novel and unsubstantiated information.
Dang's somewhat adjacent commentary: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20078667> (in the context of someone requesting that bad medical advice be flagged).
My view is that at best HN might raise potential treatments / practices which people should evaluate with a qualified medical professional. And yes, I'm aware that both access to and quality of same varies tremendously and can well be its own massive challenge. Particularly when capacity to seek out and engage with providers is itself limited.
