Thanks guys, for the heads-up!
I actualy happened to check his website yesterday - looking for an update - but it wasn't up until today!
I love Dr. Bell! I've followed his newsletters, read (several tmes, slowly!) his free e-book (faces of CFS) and gleaned so much pertinent info from the case histories. Although they are from some time ago - nothing has changed about "us".
About a month ago I figured it was finally time to send him a thank you.
I e-mailed him with my thanks and appreciation for his years of hard work, perseverance and dedication (AND complmented him on his beautiful photography - everyone going to his site should take the time to view that!)
He was nice enough to send me a reply - thanking ME for thanking HIM - and enjoying his photos, too!
His "take" on early xmrv testing, has made me pause. I've been on the fence about this...and have been ready to fight my various docs to get it done NOW.
Don't want to jump the gun - so my I.D. Doc will get the final say, I guess.
I also found it interesting that he mentioned patients with various viruses (I have chronic Enteroviruses) feel better on antivirals - for AWHILE.
After 3.5 years on them, I'm beginning to see the signs that they aren't working as well. Suppose this is to be expected.
