Summary
Has been taking celecoxib as part of the Pridgen Protocol for ME/CFS, alongside a gut-protective supplement, initially Lion's Mane and later switched to deglycyrrhizinated licorice over safety concerns with the first choice. Illness duration and severity are not detailed in this post. Reports no side effects from the celecoxib itself, framing this as reassurance for others asking about the drug's tolerability within the Pridgen Protocol. No specific efficacy outcome beyond tolerability is given, and no relapse is mentioned.
