Summary
Started with IFN lambda combined with GS-441524 for underlying Enterovirus B infections, which brought about 60% improvement, then moved to a multi-drug antiviral regimen described as molnupiravir, GS-441524, Vermurafenib, ribavirin and pleconaril plus baicalein and quercetin, followed by a long course of minocycline to calm neuroinflammation and gut-epithelial support supplements; the full course from starting the interferon through finishing minocycline took about three years. They had been sick since 2019, unable to work or care for their kids, before this treatment path. By the time of posting they describe being 100% and symptom-free for about eight months, with no PEM and no activity threshold, and no relapse mentioned.
