How can you have autoimmune disease, it just don't happen on its own. I know its viral infection because host of my symptoms started after EBV / CMV mono that never went away. Six months into my infection I already started feeling fatigue and I already knew something was not right. From then on I have good days and bad days. In the morning I'll be fine then as day progress I'll start getting headaches, dizzy, mood swings, fatigue..I'll take my afternoon nap then I'm okay for another few hours before symptoms start. I can function as a normal being, I can work, just not cognitively fast enough.
My lack of confidence is gone, in social scene I feel more bewilder than before. I never felt silent or cold in my life. This is all in last ten years. My exposure was to ebv/cmv/paro/hhv 6 all at the same time. I was infected by one of this girl I knew who I kissed, just from simply kissing. You believe this crap. I never felt the same afterwards.
These virus tricked my immune system as well overloading it with multiple infection that caused everything to go haywire.
I think CFIDS is from multiple infection of pathogens at the same time. Not the type of pathogens, but multiple co-infection is the cause. I'm a living proof.
I know if I got this then my family is at risk as well..
Everyone on this board who claims to have CFS, check your CMV/EBV/Paro/HHV6 I bet you have at least 50% of these infection..?????????????? Do you ?????????
No one has CFS without VIRAL infection. Period.
I'm just so frustrated how I feel daily, every god dam day is different.
