Brandon describes slowly improving over ~1.5 years up to April 2023 when he was walking ~0.9 miles/day which so far is concordant with ME/CFS but where it gets discordant is that he progressed to multi-organ failure and death within 3 months.
I'm not questioning whether he suffered from ME/CFS but mortality is not reported in the Stanford data or what I've heard described of the syndrome.
It's hard to wrap my head around ME/CFS as he has described it being causative of organ failure. Did something happen? Is this a consequence of the therapeutic he tried?
Organ failure in a 37 year old without a history of end-organ dysfunction or acutely inciting event like a toxicity is incredibly unusual.
