about a month and a half ago I contracted herpes simplex type 2 from a girl I was dating . I've had chronic fatigue symptoms for years so my immune system isn't very strong .
when I started getting symptoms I got a really bad panic attack and felt a burning /tingling sensation move up my neck into the back of my brain and top of head , that night I felt the sensation move to my right arm and leg . The next day I noticed my voice was slightly slurred which has been getting worse weak and I'm getting weakness and cramping all over especially after eating . I'm having dizziness and vision issues as well as nausea and fatigue . Pain in liver area and kidneys and I've lost 12 pounds in the last month . Also burning sensation in different areas including face .
Also my stress response has changed. I can't watch tv or drive a car or do anyging overstimulating without it flaring these symptoms up even though I feel calm when I'm doing these things .
I believe herpes virus has made its way into my brain but my immune system isn't strong enough to produce meningitis so the symptoms are chronic .
The virus got into my sinuses and right eye as well. When I eat histamine rich foods it flares the virus, should I keep eating histamine foods to flare it in hopes of my immune system mounting a fever and proper attack ? Or will I just do more damage by letting virus replicate ?
Would IVIG help this ? I've read it causes meningitis episodes in people which I think is what I need to clear the virus . Would the antibodies reach the brain ? I know they can't affect dormant virus in nerves but would it be able to clear virus in brain? Is IVIG immune boosting or suppressing ? There's conflicting info

That user had almost identical symptons to me and he talks about using valtrex in his posts so I'm guessing his was herpes simplex too. His last post talks about using IVIG but than he hasn't been heard from since . Anyone know how to get a hold of him ?
I really appreciate any advice or replies
