Hi everyone,
I have been reading a lot of posts on the forums recently with great interest. I was 'diagnosed' with CFS about 2 years ago by a private doctor I am seeing, but very recently have had positive test results for -
EBV - I suspect this is chronic as I had EBV when i was 20
Lymes disease - Armin Labs
Coxsackie Virus
Chlamidya Pneumoni
Mycoplasma Pneumoni
POTS - I am being prescribed medication for this at the moment
Loads of Symptoms but the main ones are-
Fatigue
Exercise Intolerance
Muscle Weakness
Unrefreshed Sleep
Chronic Constipation (seeing a Neurogaestroenterologist soon as my doctor thinks this might stem from a autonomic issue)
The doctor I am seeing thinks this all comes down to the EBV and I have recently been started on Valcyclovir for this. But he/and I are unsure how to tackle the Lyme and the co-infections.
Is this CFS or more of a serious post-viral fatigue type of thing? Unfortunately I am only out of bed for 4-5 hours a day at the moment. And are there any/many stories of people fully recovering from the above tests/symptoms?
Thanks
George
