Not really. I take Tenofovir. But I’ll try IFN III in a few months and the report back!
are there any news to report regarding CVB4 treatment?
Did you try it? How did the INF lamba trials go? With you and with the many others? (I'm out of the discord when it kicked everyone out and invites to rejoin aren't open.)Not really. I take Tenofovir. But I’ll try IFN III in a few months and the report back!
How did the EHX go? And what was the general experience findings among the others?Some of us are soon going to be testing the broad-spectrum enterovirus antiviral ethyl 3-hydroxyhexanoate (EHX) which works for coxsackievirus B. See this post.
EHX is the most interesting enterovirus antiviral I have come across in a long time.

Interestingly my mental health was significantly worse after COVID too - pretty much gave up. I didn't put the two together until you just mentioned it. But yeah, lasted a while, might still be affecting me. ME/CFS overall seemly unaffected though (except mental health portion of ME/CFS).In my own case, I had to halt all new ME/CFS treatment experiments, due to worsened ME/CFS and worsened mental health after catching COVID last year. I don't want to risk taking anything new that might make these symptoms worse, especially the mental symptoms.
But I am looking to start on EHX shortly.
Might the GI discomfort indicate any effect of the EHX on any enterovirus reservoirs in the gut? (I can understand stopping of course).One person started EHX, but he found oral EHX upset his digestion, so stopped. However, EHX (which is liquid at room temperature) can easily be applied to the skin to avoid this issue.
