How I solved my neuroinflammation

Summary
Built up to pramipexole 2mg nightly over four weeks alongside LDN, as-needed ibudilast, ALCAR and curcumin, reporting about an "80% improvement" in neuroinflammation symptoms -- migraines down from 3-4/week to at most one, and PEM severity/duration cut by roughly 80% too, plus better sleep and HRV. Calls it a "long-term commitment," noting he lost the gains once before when he stopped pramipexole, so the improvement is real but strictly maintenance-dependent.
