Summary
After 30 years of illness, pattismith reports that a short pulsed high-dose corticosteroid course (with valacyclovir and inosine/inositol layered in) resolved her pain quickly, restored energy, and cleared her thinking enough to socialize again - "pain was gone very quickly...brain is clear and positive." She stopped the corticosteroids on March 2, 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns before the thread's first page ends, so whether the gains persisted after stopping is not established in what she posted.
