HCQ Exeperiences - Patrice

[Guest guest]

Thanks for that feedback, Patrice! When you get a chance, maybe you

can tell us a little more specifically about how its been helpful.

It would be great to hear from anyone on the list who's used this,

with good, bad or indifferent results.

Barb's posted quite a bit here, and in the first I & I, about HCQ

potentiating antibiotics and now, more recently, Diflucan as well.

I'm also interested in therapeutic effects of HCQ on inflammatory

immune responses - it's a potent immune modulator and seems to help

some patients in this respect as well.

Cheers,
