Summary
Melissa followed Dr. Lerner's antiviral protocol after testing positive for active cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus, taking unspecified antibiotics and antivirals; the page does not give exact drug names or doses. She had developed fatigue, postpartum depression, and fibromyalgia-diagnosed muscle and joint pain after a 2001 pregnancy, leaving her unable to do housework for 6 to 10 years. She improved from a 3 to a 7.75 on a 1-10 health scale and now works part-time and cares for her kids, though she still cannot exercise vigorously. The page gives no follow-up on whether this level held, faded, or needed maintenance dosing.
