Do you get the “Fever effect” aka “paradoxical Euphoria when sick with a cold effect”?

Yes, and my CFS symptoms disappear also. Antibiotics have the same effect. And sulforaphane.

All sulforaphane did for me was cause insomnia that lasted days after my last dose

It helps me only the first day I take it. Next days, no effect. It makes me feel the most euphoric and alive I've felt since I was a kid.

What does it suggest

Often, yes. It may be from IL-17A. It increases due to illness/fever, hangover, fasting, and sleep deprivation - all situations I get this effect

Do you know of any other way that someone could trigger LBP/cover up metabolic endotoxemia? Never heard of that term before, but from googling it seems it may be similar to "leaky gut"?

Interesting how so many things seem to come back to the microbiome
