Summary
A man who had had ME for a little under three years was taking Valtrex for EBV at 3.5 g a day, after an earlier course of 4 g. Both courses brought notable symptoms in the first month that largely abated, and he remembered better symptom relief on the 4 g dose. He wondered whether time in a newer house, away from mold in his older house, also played a part.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
