Research is currently being conducted into herpes viruses being the cause of

CFS. Enteroviruses and retroviruses are also candidates. I'm telling someone

whose grandchildren have developed facial paralysis (Bell's palsy) and

alopecia to treat the probable underlying cause: herpes simplex. Treatment

is large doses of Acyclovir (or Acyclovir cream if there are facial sores).

But in chronic cases such as these children exhibit, treatment is low doses,

administered over several months. In researching, I discovered that herpes

in its various forms, in those with compromised immune systems, can cause

serious and sometimes fatal complications. It can attack the eyes, the

brain, the scalp, the spine, etc.

My dermatologist said that hair loss alopetia is atributed to an auto immune

disorder and so is diabetes.

Hair loss caused by herpes zoster is called cicatricial alopecia. There is

also alopecia areata. They could both be said to be autoimmune in nature,

because the herpes attacks the body's immune system.

The same applies to facial paralysis caused by herpes simplex. Doctors call

it Bell's palsy, but to be precise, Bell's palsy is facial paralysis of

*unknown* origin. Type 1 diabetes is autoimmune and could also be related to

herpes. It often arises after exposure to a virus. Type 2 is not commonly

thought to be autoimmune, except for perhaps what was formerly called MODY

(mature onset, diagnosed young). Here I'm not referring to young, obese,

inactive, junk-food addicts diagnosed type 2, but active youngsters of

normal or nearly normal weight who nevertheless develop type 2.

Susie,

There is absolutely no animus in this question, but I'm really curious. Are

you in the Health profession somewhere? You seem far more knowledgeable

than me. I respect everyone's thoughts here as they have really been

helpful to me in the short time I've been here, BTW.

I hope you understand that this is a very sincere question.

Type 1 diabetes is autoimmune, Type 2 is not.
