Pridgen protocol

Hey all,
Been forever since I've been on here, but I was wondering if anyone is on or has tried the Valtrex and Celebrex combo?
I just started it and Contrave last week and day one I felt 90 % better, day 2 I felt completely cured, Best I've felt in 3 years, don't know if it's the Contrave or the pridgen protocol or the combo, or maybe I'm just having a good couple weeks, hate to get too excited and then b let down again...

Pridgen uses antiviral to treat fibro - red FLAG WARNING. First fibro is not a viral or inflammatory disorder

Next antivirals are extremely powerful drugs that can and do elicit a CNS stress response that can be a temporary pain killer - the CNS is already not functioning property causing fibro.....anytime you activate the immune system you stimulate the nervous system

pumping rocket fuel into the brain is more than risky and may result in a very hard landing

Contrave is another drug that alters the CNS - many suicides and psychosis from this drug

I would immediately run from any physician prescribing these drugs

Tangodancer101,
It's a combination of Valtrex and Celebrex. Under the theory that fibro has been set off due to viral infection that has affected your whole body, such as EpV, mononucleosis, or if you've ever gotten cold sores. Makes sense... Muscle soreness, aches, rash, extreme fatigue, these are also symptoms of EPV OR MONO

Hey T,
Yes, indeed more energy, my pain is almost completely gone, therefore I feel like doing more, I have had a few muscle aches and pains, but it is more of a good kind of pain from excercising I presume. I've started jogging again, only up to a mile, but hey it's better than what I've been doing. I have tried adderall, Nuvigil, pro vigil, and none of the above have even came close to eliminating my fatigue. My next step was to bite the bullet and try the really expensive drug xyrem, found out my insurance would pay, but have been scared to try it. Supposed to work wonders, but all that aside, ( it doesn't matter now anyway) because for now this is working. For how long, idk. But I will try and update weekly at minimum!

I am not a know it all or totally antidrug - the information on these drugs is well recorded and they are involved in a series of law suits

I also know from clinical work that a doctor can use you as the guinea pig and if you are damaged he has little culpability

It is up to us to do 100% due diligence before we start taking powerful drugs that can cause more damage

Doing homework is indeed important. There are also people who have died by not following their doctor's advice and/or not sought treatment. 2 sides to a coin, a double edged sword.

Ton, gabapentin works fairly well, I sleep better and have less of the severe burning sensations. I've noticed a big difference as well on cymbalta, that my new cleveland clinic doctor prescribed. He was entirely supportive if I decided I didn't want to try it. He is also supportive of any alternative treatments I would like. I was scared to try it due to negative reviews by some that I had seen. But for the first time in years, I had a fantastic day of working on a Saturday morning, shopping all afternoon, an outing in the evening, then a dance workshop on Sunday. If the positive uptrend continues, I may be able to add a few more work hours to my week and to feel like some semblance of a human being, have friends, contribute to society. I've always been against prescription drugs but now I'm beginning to see the benefits with careful management. I'd rather be on one or two prescriptions than laying in bed crying all day in pain, too sick to work, severely depressed and poverty stricken.

Ton, I'm so glad your energy levels are up. That's wonderful! And brings us so much hope to hear. Do keep us updated.

Obviously, no one knows what causes fibromyalgia there could be a series of different things. I myself after everything I've been through what totally be willing to be someone's guinea pig. What works for one person may not work for another. I'm still bad week or bad days for that matter. I have been working out at the gym running cleaning my house running kids back-and-forth, I feel better than ever! Well, better than i have in years!

I have read studies that suggested there could be a virus that hangs at the cellular level,causing us many issues..

I habe not know people doing this particular protocol, but always open to new ideas..

I have heard of people going on antivirals , but not this protucal and not having them work..

Hope the updates will continue.

I wish people would come back and update on these things :/

Thank you for replying, Sherrine.

Couldn’t it be, that the protocol helps and the person therefore does not return to these forums?
