I stayed on tetracycline for a few years, early on my walk in CFIDS. It really

didn't do anything except cause an on going yeast problem.

know when I had a few tooth infections in the recent past, and each time when I

was on an antibiotic, it seems I was magically able to eat anything I wanted

without reacting, and have much lower reactions to other things I usually cannot

tolerate. I was attributing that to the fact that maybe my immune system, or

whatever system is involved in these chronic illnesses, was busy fighting the

tooth infections, and wasn't noticing the other stuff for a while. Silly me!

Maybe if I could have stayed on the antibiotics two or three times longer, I

would have seen permanent or long-term improvements in these illnesses I've had

for over 30 years.

I think Valtrex is helping a lot!

Thats wonderful!! About 15 years ago I was in contact with a woman who had good

results from anti virals. They didn't help me, but obviously there is a group

who do get some help. Hope it keeps helping and you get well.

Did you try 1 gram of valtrex four times a day for a long time?

What medications are anti-virals? I thought there wasn't any such thing. I've

asked my doctors before and they don't know anything about them.

But wait, antivirals aren't the same as antibiotics. Which is it that the doctor

in question was using.

I'm trying to find the original post with the referred- to study now. :-)

Re: anti-virals, I have had others tell me they had antiviral drips every so

often and that it certainly helped, specifically with pain, according to one

woman, although she still didn't sleep at night(like me) and slept daytimes

mostly.

I was also asking whether the person was taking an antiviral. I take Valtrex,

which I think helps. I take 1 gram 4 times a day. It does seem to aggravate my

asthma and makes me moody.

He was using antibiotics. He is going on the theory that this is an infection,

not a virus, or at least that is what I understood. If you didn't find the

Wow, seems strange a Dr. wouldn't know about anti virals. I learned about them

20 years ago, and they were around before that. they were used to treat herpes,

among other things. I think alot of them end in 'vior'. try putting 'anti viral'

in a search engine.

Why haven’t I ever been offered any of this? I've known since 1988 that I have a

very high titre of Epstein-Barr. What I probably need to put into the search

engine, is who I can go to that will try me on something.
