Is there any news on the group buying Brincidofovir? I haven't been able to find the drug online. I'm desperate to try it

well the attempted group by was probably over 2 years ago at this point, maybe close to 3 years, so that was quite a while ago. I never heard what happened with it, I assume the group was unable to attain it. I feel like I'm doomed to chronic fatigue forever at this point, like millions of others

there might be a way to monitor if an antiviral is "working" by monitoring your monocyte count. I got fairly significant monocyte drop after taking only 500mg/day of valtrex for a few months,

Interesting.. what's the theory behind this?

I don't think anyone knows why but a large monocyte count decrease was seen in Jose Montoya's Valcyte trials (both the pilot study and the treatment arm of the placebo-controlled study).
