Hey guys, I made a post about my CFS onset after exercising a week after recovering from an infection (well it's suspected to be mycoplasma pn):
where I got (still have) CFS symptoms, after exercising a week after a flu like infection. Well, I went to a naturopath and did blood tests, and they found I was Mycoplasma IGM positive. Apparently, this indicates an active infection for mycoplasma.
They put me on antibiotics: azithromycin 500mg daily for a week. Finished that and not much difference. I came across the works of Dr Garth Nicolson who says a subset of CFS/ME can come from a chronic mycoplasma infection.
In particular, one theory I have is that the exercise weakened the BBB, causing mycoplasma to infect the brain and CNS. This explains the brainfog and nerve pains. Now I am wondering if anyone has experience with a positive Mycoplasma IGM test, and if so, how effective was long term antibiotic use in treating your CFS?
I am thinking if maybe for patients who had onset from mycoplasma, antibiotic use might have made them better.
Note: I would say I am mild. I can still walk around and work full time, but the brainfog and fatigue is heavily interfering with my work and I am struggling, and after work I have no energy left to socialize. I also have muscle weakness and nerve pains. The pain is 'fixed' by LDN.
