Avoid the headaches by titrating off the caffeine.

Not that this hack deduced anything accurately, but that probably does help a lot of people, and then he gets to take credit for it. It’s cheaper than free to try, though you’ll probably have some headaches for a few days if you have a bad caffeine dependence, like almost all of our society has.

Generally if you’re talking to someone with a chronic illness, and you think you have an idea of something that might help: A, it won’t, and 2, they’ve already tried it or C, they physically can’t.

I was overweight my whole life. Never tried fasting, dieting, or exercise. Suddenly did at the age of 24 and would you look at that? Constantly doctors telling me, even my diabetes was confused which one it should be, then the life of my love appeared before me.
It’s better to extend a hand of help in kindness, and possibly corrected, than it is to do nothing at all.
Assumptivity only helps those who have been helped.

My guy, being fat is not the same as having a hard to pin down chronic illness.
I say this as a guy who does not remember a day where I wasn’t concerned about my weight, who only recently managed to drop from obese to over weight. You can fix being fat. You can fix fat with diet and exercise. You can’t fix “maybe lupus? Maybe MCTD? I dunno it’s probably autoimmune? We’re going to need to order more tests” with diet, exercise, magic crystals, or whatever other random bullshit people like to suggest.

My point exactly, something I could control easily and not a single action.
Diet and exercise normally isnt done to fix issues but to dilute them. You can only ever do so much. People cannot know all, next best they offer a gentle suggestion and just know they wish you longer health.
Then again diabetes and the complications thereof do not seem like chronic conditions to you.

Sure, it probably won’t work, but it can literally do nothing but help. Even if it doesn’t help with the specific issue they’re talking about, maybe the figure out it helps with something else. Getting off harmful drugs often has beneficial effects. (I’m a caffeine and alcohol user too. This isn’t me looking down on anyone.)

Seriously, just, no.
Because not only all of that other stuff, but you’re also extremely unlikely to be the first person to suggest it.
A buddy of mine is constantly being told she just needs to go out and exercise a little more, or take this supplement or that supplement, or see a fucking chiropractor. She has been for as long as I’ve known her. She doesn’t remember the last time she heard something unique. Though the number times she’s been told to just get a spinal adjustment for an autoimmune disease is frightening.
