CMV is the most common infection is post transplant patients which is why we recipients are prescribed Valcyte for a period of months after our transplants as part of the anti- fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral regime of meds along with out immunosuppressants.
In the vast majority of patients, CMV disease responds to treatment with intravenous Cytovene/ganciclovir.
I just joined this forum and have a question regarding my EBV tests and Valcyte. My doctor wants me to start Valcyte for my elevated HHV6 and EBV antibody levels. I will post them and if anyone here has any thoughts on them I would very much appreciate it. I know this isn't an HHV6 forum but I will post the test results as well.
HHV6 Ab IgG 21.44 (range 0.1-1.
Found a clinic to go to since I did not have insurance and was able to get on oral antibiotics and HIV meds. I started the HIV med Atripla in late February. My viral load went from 70,000 to 50 and cd4 from 6 to 50 in about a month. However at the beggining of March I went back into the hospital due to severly low potassium levels. ( I had also gone from about 150 lbs down to almost 110 over a period os about 2-3 months). Almost being unable to move my limbs.
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. Of course Valcyte is a nasty drug and this trial and many physicians won't prescribe it unless you are disabled.
Why do that when we have Valcyte (also a little bit frightening, but probably not as bad as the chemotherapy treatment) ?
I do plan on adding Ampligen to the list of CFS treatments. I also need to add that Valcyte trial. But of course... some of these treatments for CFS are risky. I want to include my personal thoughts on that as well (and anyone elses).
If your problem is premature ejaculation, there many effective solutions available. Ejaculation is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, so what you need is something that blocks sympathetic activity in the genital area. Alpha blockers can do the trick. I'm not a doctor but I suggest you try an alpha blocker called VIGAMED (oral phentolamine) 30 minutes before sex. VIGAMED is not Viagra, it is an entirely new treatment. It can improve erections and delay ejaculation.
Antivirals suppress the immune system and as jason said, "keep the bugs at bay". There is one antiviral, Valcyte, that apparently is either curing or putting some CFS patients in remission... but the risks involved with Valcyte are too risky for me.

The only two treatments that I am aware of that has apparently cured some CFS patients would be the antibiotic protocols (I listed some of them in the health pages) and Valcyte, a very powerful anti-viral drug. The co-founder of PetsMart was on the original study and he is now jogging again. He said he had CFS after a flu-like illness and I believe he was disabled when he participated in the study. I believe Dr.
The foreskin is inflamed, with light white spots, and does not retract much. I had an oral course of antibiotics that did not work (Cefoclox-6 tablets) and anti-fungal tablet (fluconazole -2 tablets in 1 week) treating yeast infections, but the symptoms are not are not subsiding. This is for the past two weeks with persistent irritation.I applied canestan cream, and Nystatin cream too. But to no help. What do I do now? Please reply a solution.
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.
The other viruses showed latent infection controlled by the immune system. I was given Valcyte 450mg a day for 4 months.. after that 2x1000mg valtrex (valacyclovir).. my CMV titers fell down the half and i stopped the medicine.

Infections (really all kind of Infections.. babesia, bartonella, toxoplasmosis...
No it should have no effect
