So far nothing, keeping my fingers crossed Ampligen will be FDA approved soon. The clinical trials have been very promising, if approved this would be the first true recognised treatment for us. At the least society might then treat us like we are legit, even if it might not help everone. Another option being tried by some and having good success, they are herpes antiviral drugs- can't remember the names though.

Let's all pray this is the beginning of a brighter, healthier future.
