ME/CFS TREATMENTS WITHOUT THE WAIT
ME/CFS patients are no strangers to the challenges of accessing treatments for their symptoms.
While there are no FDA-approved medications for ME/CFS, many patients have seen significant symptom improvements with off-label, research-backed treatments.
At RTHM, we are committed to helping you find a path forward.
The immune system plays a crucial role in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), with immune dysfunction being a significant factor in the disease’s pathology. Research has shown that individuals with ME/CFS often exhibit abnormalities in immune cell metabolism, particularly in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, which are essential for immune response. These cells show disruptions in energy production, leading to reduced glycolysis and mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, immune system irregularities, such as altered cytokine profiles and increased autoimmunity, contribute to chronic inflammation and the persistence of symptoms. These findings highlight the complex interplay between the immune system and ME/CFS, suggesting that immune dysfunction may be a key driver of the disease.

RTHM Direct provides prescription to a variety of medications for Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS and MCAS
Low Dose Naltrexone
LDN modulates the immune system and reduces chronic inflammation, which may alleviate symptoms like fatigue, pain, and brain fog.
Ketotifen
By stabilizing mast cells, ketotifen helps reduce allergic-type reactions, providing relief to those with hypersensitivity issues.
Pyridostigmine
Pyridostigmine improves autonomic function, particularly in patients experiencing dysautonomia.
Propranolol
A beta-blocker that helps manage symptoms related to dysautonomia, such as elevated heart rate and anxiety.
Midodrine
By constricting blood vessels and increasing blood pressure, midodrine reduces dizziness and improves daily functioning.
Ivabradine(Coming Soon)
Lowers heart rate without affecting blood pressure, making it ideal for patients with autonomic issues like postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

What is Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM)?
I lost years of my life feeling like I needed a heart transplant. My doctors told me there wasn’t a medication that treated POTS and I actually believed them! Until I found RTHM Direct.
RTHM has been a huge lifeline in a maze of finding out what’s happening to my life with Long COVID and effective treatments for such complex, new issues.
RTHM is peak healthcare and should be used as a blueprint for a new standard of care all over. Thank you for saving me.
