Hi there,
I was recently diagnosed with a bacterial sinus infection, and I'm pretty confident that is what it is, because it was diagnosed through a culture and a specific bacterium was found.
However, I'm wondering if this kind of infection can kick up my CFS problems, trigger the resurfacing of my old viral infections (epstein barr, etc.). Because whenever I get a sinus infection, it is way, way harder to get rid of than a normal person. I'm so fatigued and for so long, often for months. I'm awaiting more immune function tests from a cfs clinic -- hopefully that will shed more light on this, but meantime I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problems.
thanks,
Laura
