Much better. Been off antivirals for many months. I had some improvement from Valtrex & Celebrex. But the big game changer has been peptides (thymosin alpha and beta). I have a life again!

Not that I’m aware of. Seems like EBV is the big problem for me. I’m not sure which scale you are referring to, but I was housebound and mostly bed/couch-bound. Now I’m able to do most anything except intense forms of exercise.
