Hi,
I am new to this forum even though I have had CFS/ME for 28 years. That was way before the medical establishment recognized or knew what it was. I carried in all of my past treatments....as you can well imagine there were many and most were out of pocket.
Based on my history and a physical exam he ordered the following bloodwork.
I understand that Famvir and Valtrex are the most commonly prescribed antivirals and are often given in combination. He said that given the length of my illness I would most likely need to take the drugs for 6-9 months. I am wondering what to expect on the antivirals.
I am very concerned that I will never get my life back. I have almost completely lost my ability to sleep. I was recently diagnoses with Partially Empty Sella and have an appointment with an endocrinologist. I have almost every symptom of CFS/ME with late onset migraines.
Has anyone taken the combo of antivirals Famvir and Valtrex and actually slept better and had more energy?
Thanks,
