@gentlepotato Yes, temp, pulse, oxygen saturation, BP have all improved on glucose. I think for some of us healing just isn't going to feel great.
Definitely, not necessarily something that feels great, and the tricky thing really is to decipher what is just a part of healing and what are signals from the body that we need to tweak something. We might not even find the answers, but maybe sharing along the way at least will make it easier for those who try this after us.
Case in point. One of my old symptoms is hemorrhaging. I could bleed for months, then do some "tweaking" and it would stop. I hadn't bled in over a year. But then last week, the floodgates opened. It was worse than ever. I told my nurse daughter, and her answer, as always, was for me to go see a doctor. But just as suddenly as it started, it stopped...not a drop. All of my retracing on glucose has been like this. It comes on suddenly and doesn't last long. One interesting observation about this is I would aways feel better while having the bleeding episodes. It made me wonder if our intelligent bodies know things, like for instance that I may have too much stored iron, and it finds a way to deal with it.
So many things to discover and contemplate on this healing journey.

Just an update on my experience using glucose. In the last few days I have upped my intake to 360 g spread throughout the day and the two main things I have noticed is that my adrenaline has gone down, but My fuzzy headaches have Increased. I think this might just be my body adjusting to the change. It would make sense that if my adrenaline was going down, I may have less energy in the interim, as actually less sugar is available to my brain.i.e Less sugar being liberated by the adrenaline.
Last night as an experiment, I drank 120 g of dextrose in milk, And I had amazing dreams all night. When I woke I normally have palpitations, these weren’t there. I wonder if the milk helped buff the glucose to last longer throughout the night? Also, I should mention at the same time I used a bit of Progest-e Which helps lower the insulin reaction to glucose. (Ref michael platt, adrenaline dominance)
I think, if you spend a lot of the day like I do running on stress hormones, it can feel like you take Step backwards when you run on glucose metabolism without stress hormones, But I hope this will come good as my body re learns How to use glucose properly.

I think you're referring to what I wrote? PM is pro metabolic, and ME is my diagnosis, often called ME/CFS internationally, but it's often just called ME in my country so I forgot to add the /CFS.

im thinking of trying this glucose loading thing but just a pre and intra and post workout shake for weightlifting / sprinting / etc workouts . some days I eat like 200g of honey in one sitting, it's like I can't get enough. I wonder if pure glucose will be better?

what is a good source for high quality glucose powder?

Yes, pure glucose is very therapeutic.

I buy it (dextrose) in bulk from Amazon, Earthborn Elements. Now brand is also good.

In the meantime I've had an H202 i.v. (c. 0.03%) which made me have a much increased craving for dextrose and carbs from c. 1/2h into it until half a day later.
I could get to sleep (calm and deep) only after I had finally filled up with enough carbs and dextrose.
Still wondering whether that observed raise in the metabolic rate by H202 is partly due to O2 delivery or due signalling effects of H202 itself and, thereof, perhaps even mainly a rise in thyroid hormone availability.Another thing:
It would be great to read the thoughts or experiences by those with digestive issues on the effect of dextrose dissolved with ground psyllium seeds (not husks).
Will the dextrose reach places further down the digestive system and aid and relieve the energetic needs of those tissues?Many will surely remember haidut's posts on high dose B3 etc. on healing of chronic GI conditions like Crohn's but IMO in practical reality such promises are bull. Especially so, I reckon, when those tissues don't have any glucose to use with it but only the typical abundance of GI short-chain fatty acids.
So far I've been continueing with 70grs every four hours or c. 35grs every two hours throughout the day. I.e. about 350grs daily.
