I told my doc that I had IBS (true), showed him a reviewed paper that said HCQ was effective against colitis, and he wrote me a prescription (for life). He asked if he could keep the paper. I said "sure".

I took HCQ every day for a year. Cured the IBS (with diet changes) and now I take HCQ once a week (or less often if I forget) as a precaution. So I have a stash.
