What Percent of Patients With ME Had a Confirmed or Supposed Viral Onset?

i really suspect that this will be a ticket for me right now. Do you mind if I ask what anti virals you are using? I am on a few, but I want to go full bore on this right now.

What anti-virals are you on?

I should back up. I meant to state that I am using some herbal "supposed" anti-virals, nothing prescription, yet...

This ME Alliance report by Charles Shepherd, et al., gives a figure of 75% for sudden onset "often dating back to an acute viral infection." Not all sudden onset cases have a viral suspect, but my impression is that those cases that do account for the majority of that 75%.

my debut was sudden, probably viral, with moderate sore throat, low-grade fever (37.2 °), sweating between neck and neck naturally fatigue;
with each passing week came the digestive disorders, concentration / memory problems, headaches, earaches, vulnerability to cold and the sore throat / voice loss that comes and goes ...., joint pain / muscle.

I doubt very much the ME Alliance relationship, other potential causes of ME than the hypothetical viral


because I think that the cause of ME is a germ or a family of germs (viruses) still unknown why some viruses "known" may be reactivated during the crisis of the sick and other germs are easily contracted from sick ME .....

These are the best natural anti-virals I am aware of. Cats Claw, Silver hydrosol, Licorice root, lemon balm, monolaurin, olive leaf............I am going off the top of my head..........I may have left some out.
