Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi All, I am new here. I was suddenly struck with CFS April 2005 and it all started with severe vertigo. Too me awhile to get diagnosed as I bounced around 30 drs at my HMO who all said I was suffering from depression. Eventually the right neurologist diagnosed me with POTS, which is a type of CFS. I started looking for my own answers and soon I thought I had found the solution. I had 5 standard lyme tests done from various regular commercial labs and all were negative. Then I had one done from a lab called Igenex and I tested positive according to their internal studies. I did 6 months IV rocephin, 2 months Amox and 2 months Zithro and I never felt better. I then seeked a Dr in Southern Cali who says CFS is due to a Chronic EnteroViral infection of the CNS. He ran all the tests on me and I tested strong positive and the blood test panel for sackie B virus. He also did the Stomach biopsy and I tested very strong positive as well. There currently is no antiviral treatment for this infection, does anyone know what compounds may help in to helping cut down on the viral load?? Thank you, Ricky [Moderator: Welcome, transfer factor is the classic solution for treating such infections -- the problem is getting it produced. It was the common approach before patented antibiotics took over the medical marketplace. There are transfer factors for things like EBV (wife took it and it appeared effective). The other approach is to strengthen the immune system and the typical immune system weakness with CFIDS is low Vitamin D level.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
