Summary
In Ohio, combined Valcyte, Valtrex and doxycycline (the last for a mycoplasma co-infection) and after about five months said she was "not sorry" she had done the treatment. Where she previously "could do nothing and felt sick all of the time," she gained real functional capacity, though she still needed three to five days to recover after activity and described her CFS as continuing to "wax and wane" rather than resolving.
