Thanks for that Christopher. No I haven't posted about it. I kept it for myself for a long time since no-one wants attention to it, in general. But it's a long time ago, and it didn't help me, but I think it was a good decision to do it.
Personally I think that autoimmunity is at the core of the ME symptoms, and that it's caused by an ERV plus the «modern» microbiota in the gut. I made a
thread about that some time ago, but I didn't really express
why I think things are so and so, rather just that I think they are so and so. When my health allows for it, I'll fill in that (central) part for the discussion.
From the get-go of my illness I've found the symptoms so unbearable (and everything associated with it) that I'd rather try a treatment and fail (and fail hard), rather than do nothing and being destined to live with ME for many more years. I'm turning all the stones where I think it could lead to a breakthrough.
I also gave ARVs a try after the Mikovits publication. The (horrible) worsening both
I, randalbond and others have got from the antiretrovirals is really the major reason why I still think a retrovirus is central in the disease. We've used different ARVs, in a short period, none known to cause particularly what we've got from it, and it all really seems likely to me that we've «poked» at something (perhaps like the paper showing how ARVs actually can
make retroviruses exacerbate autoimmune reactions).
I really don't want to publicly write so much more about the RTX other than what's done, but if you wonder something feel free to ask (although replying might take some time given my health).
