Summary

After decades with ME/CFS and years stuck at "Activity Level 2-3," combined daily SAM-e (200mg) with very sporadic low-dose Acyclovir (roughly one dose every one to two weeks) plus an Atlas Profilax cervical-alignment procedure done about two years earlier. Reported his activity level rose from 3 to 4 on his own scale, which he called "pretty huge," with less head/neck pressure and pain, longer walks, and better digestion and mental engagement. Both SAM-e and the sporadic Acyclovir were still being continued months later; he frames the gain as modest but meaningful rather than a cure.
