Summary
Took a standard course of molnupiravir to treat a COVID infection in 2023, against a backdrop of ME/CFS since 2006 (severity "varying from mild to severe") plus Long Covid from 2022 that had left her "mostly bedbound for a year." Reports "my ME/CFS symptoms all vanished and for a few weeks I felt absolutely normal, could exercise, no PEM, no pain, no other ME symptoms at all," while separately noting her Long Covid symptoms "stay improved after the antivirals." The ME/CFS remission did not last: "after a few weeks my ME symptoms gradually returned and I am now back to moderate ME/CFS."
