Hello
I'm new to immune modulating and stumbled upon Dr. Goldsteins work and book after reasearching recently.

For three months I have been suffering badly with EBV reactivation. Severe nerve pains and break outs of sores on torso and arm. Cycles of waves of terrible nausea and headaches and of course fatigue and possible spleen pain and enlargement.
Going to a few docs who couldn't help and didn't recognize these " in some cases " symptoms. I finally got a swab test on a sore but they tested for bacterias only. Positive for two and antibiotics helped close them faster but no other symptoms went away.
I was dying in pain. I had tried LLysine and Valtrex and Vitamin c and Zinc and Herbal supplements etc. It was too strong of a viral attack to dent it.
I almost went to ER many nights and I couldn't stand one more day.
I had a dermatologist look who said yes they see these symptoms and sores on immune compromised patients who had EBV. I did have a EBV test last fall after starting to feel extra fatigue and had pneumonia all winter. The EBV test showed reactivation tilters.
So anyway. I read about tagament and zantac online Via Dr. Goldstein's book and other resources above. I ran to walgreens and chose zantac due to Dr Goldsteins book that said he switched to it due to side affect problems in tagament. The book said he treated mono and in 24 hours symptoms disappeared. I didn't predict this but I decided its worth a try.
I took 150 in am and 150 in pm.
In one day I noticed my symptoms literally disappeared.
I waited because I had surges that happened strongly ever other day. I felt one trying that lasted 2 hours instead of 10 and at 25 percent the strength. It's been 5 days now. No symptoms. No nerve pain. ( a doc said it was post nerve pain like on shingles and could take years to simmer or could stay ) All gone !!!
No nausea. No headaches. No waves or surges and no break outs and no pain. The pain was in severe range.
Side affects though are that now I am sleeping like crazy. So tired. I read another thread here that talked about this tired feeling after being on the h2 inhibitors.
My questions.
Is tiredness /sleepiness (not fatigue) normal with this treatment and does it last or disappear ?
Is this treatment something others use ongoing and how do you use it ?
Is there a pulsing schedule ?
I've not been tested for th1 or th2 dominance but would assume I'm th2 dominate maybe ? How do you all get tested ?
What is typical result for CFIDS / ME / Lyme ?
Any info and Help from your knowledge and experience for me at this point very appreciated.
Thank you ahead of time for help and responses.
