pvdl, does your brother post on this forum too? Rings a bell, did he post about face changes? I hope you’re both doing better.

I would suggest:

1. Sleep
   2)Healthy Diet
2. Regular excercise
3. Giving it a lot! of time
4. Pursue your old goals. Get a hobby to distract you.
5. Ease up on the number of forum visits, this can be stressful and increase depression/anxiety (as reported by many sufferers already).
6. Set up a monthly recurring donation to the pfs foundation via: pfsfoundation.org/donate/. Even if its a small amount (10 dollars/month for example), it adds up over time and when everyone does it. This monthly recurring donation is easily set up via paypal (see link).

Imagine 500 people donating 20 per month. That adds up to 10.000 usd per month, which would be a massive surge in the amount of donations the pfs foundation receives. Even though I am still at university (aim to finish next year), I have set up such a monthly donation and my brother has done the same.

Encourage your parents / family to support the foundation as well.

Once we demonstrate via scientific studies that this syndrom is real, a lot more resources will be made available to further understand and cure it.

Good management options, how are you getting on more recently? I’ve got myself a new programme that incorporates some of your suggestions I’m prepared to follow it for at least a year. We’ll see

My symptoms havent improved much. However I am dealing with them in a better way, by pursuing my old goals and supporting my mental state with excercise and regular sleep. I also plan on cutting out the sugar.

I would suggest that no matter what you do, you set up a monthly recurring donation, even if its a small amount. If everybody does this, time is much more on our side than it will be without us doing this. If we all donate time is on our side in two aspects: Either we get better over time/deal with it mentally in a better way and/or the foundation finds a cure/treatment.

Anyway good luck and dont give up. You will feel better eventually, if you give it enough time, either because your symptoms improve or because you deal with it in a better way.
