Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar m tn 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.
163305 tn?1333668571 BP is urging a federal judge to give final approval to a proposed settlement with residents damaged by the 2010 oil spill, who have barely a week to decide whether to opt out of the deal. In a document filed Monday night with U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier of New Orleans, BP rebutted objections by various parties in recent weeks and said the size of the settlement and the small number of opt-outs - under 1,000 so far - prove the deal is fair. Prospective claimants have until Nov.

Avatar n tn My salary was about 90k/year and the settlement will easily replace that; even if I go back to work, I still collect it and the settlement is written so that the decision can't be appealed. The gastro wanted to fight, but the malpractice insurance company settled it without any input. And my attorney said that there are MANY more Versed patient-abuse cases out there. Do I sound like I'm gloating? Maybe, a little...
2071518 tn?1340383343 I have been down for years at a time, then back up. I just completed Valcyte treatment and am on long term anti-virals. Energy is coming back, just started swimming again, light hiking and should be back to work and full exercise mode soon. I am not sure a PT routine is possible without a treatment protocol that works for you.
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 m tn However after about a week and a half to two weeks the pain went away. I was started on Valcyte about 2-3 weeks after all this. I also had a blood vessel rupture in my eye towards the back making it almost impossible to see anything when I went to try and find out what was going on (Have been seen by three different optometry clinics). I Have also been using Predisonal 4-6 times a day and Cyclopentalate 2 times daily.

Avatar n tn Why do that when we have Valcyte (also a little bit frightening, but probably not as bad as the chemotherapy treatment) ?
Avatar f tn 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).
1721284 tn?1309349465 My doctor has had success in treating with Valcyte. I do have high HHV6 levels also. I am willing to try anything to have somewhat of a life again. I also take multi immune transfer factor and NT fatigue plus the vitamins and minerals. Nothing really helps with the chronic tiredness....
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar f tn 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.

I believe Dr.
4385446 tn?1353798268 I have had two times when I've had chest pain from stress. One episode lasted 4.5 months, after a car accident. The second lasted 3 weeks and started after my attorney took me to court because I wouldn't sign the settlement check. I didn't agree to the settlement and he did it anyway because he had too many cases piled up. Judge ruled in my favor. Both times it went away on its own after I relaxed enough. I rely on a beta blocker now when needed.
