Yeah, there is a component of inflammation, a component of the immune system reacting weird, a component with cortosol and hormones acting weird, and I believe blocking of the neuromuscular acetylcholine receptors.
There's no easy fix. We can tell based on symptoms what systems are being affected, but the root cause is unclear. For example, is inflammation a cause or an effect? The problem with having so many symptoms is what rabbit hole do you want to explore first.
My problems started (or became way worse) with exposure to some extremely dangerous solvent (TCE), hot asphault, and a very mouldy house during a summer job. But knowing they are carcinogenic doesn't really answer what to do about the havock they have caused to other systems in my body ten years later. The solvent likely caused high levels of ROS that could have damaged many organs and systems, and I have no idea what the asphalt and mould could have done.
I have learned that the human body is insanely complex, and although we have figured out some things, we're still finding new things. Medicine doesn't know everything, is fraught with research noise, bias, and corruption, and is money driven. Therefore research on unpatenable things like vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, and herbs is limited.
But, there is enough info out there to support avoiding processed food, eating and living as healthy as possible. With that, I only have a few sick days a month. And maybe someday I will heal.
At one point, I thought the fibro / chronic fatigue people were slightly crazy, and the electromagnetic sensitive really crazy. Now I am one of them.
So I don't outright disbelieve this.
Astounding if true, but within the realm of possibility.
