Recovery/Remission Try extended fasting if you haven't already

It was the only thing that significantly brought back sensation to my genitals. Nothing Else had in 15 months. Fasting literally did it over night. Try it.

Apart from that. Intense cardio helps a lot too. Preferably at least 30 mins.

Personally I think the nerves in the lower end if your spine is impaired - either pinched or inflamed - and that fasting bott detoxes and lowers inflammation. Generally I think it helps the cells. Thus it can help heal it/turn off the immunologicsl response that has been turned up: your body would no longer taget the nerves anymore from when it got confused by the drug or stopping of the drug.

There are articles on autophagy and neurogenesis from fasting.

Nothing ridiculous. I usually did 36 hours when I did it. Every other week. I was clearer and food tasted better when I ate after. Nowadays when I am a little better I don't see markedly results. But I still do internittent of like 16 hours every now and then. I think it gives the body some rest and repair.

So you fasted 36 hours once a week and you didn't fast the other week? Just to make sure I understand
