I wanted to post an update to this thread as I am now on day 144 of Famvir (still at 1500 mg per day split into three doses of 500 mg each.) I had committed to doing a six month trial of Famvir regardless of the outcome which takes me to around the end of January. While I have not had any negative effects from Famvir, I am not certain if I have had any positive effects either.
The one thing I can say for certain that has changed is that I used to have a sickly type of fatigue in which I felt as if I had mono. I felt feverish with alternating constant chills/hot and just felt "sick" and this has completely gone away. Even when I have terrible dysautonomic symptoms, I don't feel "sick" like a flu type sick and wonder if this is b/c of Famvir?
I also wanted to report that I have an appt with my CFS doctor at OMI on Dec 23rd! I was very happy to be able to get this appt and we will be making the 6-7 hour drive up to OMI again like we did back in July. It must seem like weird timing on Christmas week but it was literally the only week that we are able to do it for a variety of reasons that I won't bore everyone with. I am excited and hopeful to go up there again and will update what happens.
Probably similar to me. That sickly feeling is mostly gone but can still become fatigued or PEM if i do too much. I probably have a mild lethargy where it feels hard to get motivated but this isnt the case because if i push myself then fatigue comes in again.
I have found if i stop antivirals, that sick feeling returns within 4 weeks, limbs become really heavy, neck glands become sore, all the other symptoms return.
thanks for sharing
