@CrumblingCookie said in Glucose loading cures everything?:
How often and for how long do you go outside per week when you say you are 95-99.9% housebound?
I rarely do, and when I do it's for a very short walk. Luckily I have a balcony which functions as an extra room when the weather allows it. I spend most of my time outside for most of the warmer half year, and with the windows and doors wide open.
For comparison, when I had the capacity for it, before I had covid again a couple of years ago, I tried all the typical advice regarding sunlight and grounding. I also spent a lot of time outdoors before I became housebound, and neither grounding or early sunlight seemed to be supportive in ways they were "supposed to". I've had some of my worst PEM after spending time in nature, which was extra difficult because I didn't know what was going on back then.
I found that glucose had much more effect on my circadian rhythm than sunlight early in the morning ever had. I also feel much more grounded now, despite being unable to leave the house much still.
It will be interesting to see what happens when spring comes though. Maybe those interventions can be supportive now that something else appears to have clicked into place.
