Avatar m tn Michael Manson, the co-founder of PetSmart was ill and I believed disabled from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome following a flu like virus. He was one of the original participants in Dr. Montoya's (Stanford University) Valcyte trial. Fortunately... he was one of the lucky ones. The first Valcyte trial was a success, but I've heard (without seeing the results) that the second trial wasn't. One woman claimed on the internet that she became worse after taking Valcyte.
673575 tn?1226650733 You know I just checked and it appears that there aren't any antiviral medications that are effective for infectious mononucleosis. I know that there are natural antiviral supplements such as grapeseed extract oil, olive leaf extract and apple cider vinegar. For chronic EBV infection (CFS), there are antiviral medications such as ampligen & valcyte. My physician originally prescribed the Marshall Protocol for me and I've had success.

Avatar f tn I wonder why she didn't say anything about treating chronic fatigue using vitamin, mineral and other health supplements? Hasn't there been enough peer-reviewed research yet?
Avatar f tn s being studied to be used for AIDS too. Sounds like a step in the right direction for chronic fatigue and fibro. since viruses can trigger these diseases. Keep us updated.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with several different conditions, one of which is Chronic Epstein Barr virus and chronic fatigue syndrome. I am experiencing muscle contractions of both lower legs with burning in the muscles and what feels like the shin bones. M'y feet are swelled and I'm unable to walk more then 2-3 steps before my legs start to shake like I'm about to fall from muscle weakness.

Avatar m tn If a have theoretaclly really a chronic ebv and cmv infection would you take valtrex or better famvir? i would like to avoid valcyte because of the toxic effects.
Avatar f tn It is working, although it takes years and can make you feel worse. But it is intended to cure CFS... just like the drug Valcyte. But Valcyte is an immunosuppresant and has some very toxic and possibly deadly side effects. If you have any questions for Dr. N... zip them my way before 5 PM (Pacific Time) today. Send them via PM or note.
Avatar n tn E and CFIDS (chronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome). I started out with the many of the same warning signs as you in the 90s. They were subtle, intermittent until more frequently causing havoc then they stayed and never went away. More research is now being done on M.E. / CfIDS but it has a long way to go. Treatment is a "crap shoot" but look into HHV6, orthostasis that comes along with M.E/CFIDS. ALso, M.E is a neuroendocrine disorder thought to be of viral etiology.
Avatar f tn Are you still sick? Do you have chronic fatigue syndrome like myself? It really stinks. Going on 26 years. It has to be EBV.
Avatar n tn I have CLL and was just dx with Papillary Thyoird Cancer-one cm nodule on isthmus dx by FNA. I also have several small nodule on the right lobe and lumpy lymph node on my right neck. I have had extreme fatigue prior to the thyroid dx. I'm schedule for a total thyroidectomy and select lymph node removal next week. Doc says no thyroid replacement therapy for thirty days post-op pending scan for metasteses. I worried about the thirty days. Any idea on what I can expect?
Avatar n tn Help! I have seen 16 drs who do not believe in chronic fatigue. I can not even get out of be and I have been on provigil and adderall neither of which help me at all. I have also been to the emergency and my thyroid is supposedly level. They just tell me that they can not do anything for me. Is there any help for me out there?
Avatar f tn m sorry to hear about the fatigue worsening. Have you discussed chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with your doctor? Because the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is unknown, treatment programs are directed at relief of symptoms. The goal is to regain some level of function and well-being. Always talk to your doctor about any treatment decisions for CFS which is based on your overall medical condition and current symptoms.
Avatar n tn You probably have a thryroid problem and need a thyroid test. You sound hypothyroid. Go to the doctor. take care and write back and let us know how you got on. Good luck!
Avatar m tn It soulds like you could still have lyme disease. It can cause all your symptoms and chronic fatigue. Lyme can be misdiagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome.
