Does this exist? Is it possible to do antiviral IV treatments for cfs? I know you can do them for Lymes.

I know it's done.

Depends on the virus.
Depends on the severity of patient illness (risk:reward).
Depends on the doc.

I know that Ganciclovir and Cidofovir are two of the IV AV drugs used. I think there are others.

I number of patients have done IV Cidofovir. The late Dr. Martin Lerner used to give it and also Dr. Peterson if I remember correctly.
