[sphinx]

Hello,

I've read CFS roadmap, but i didn't understand lab values and dosage yet

My symptoms :-

• Fatigue

• Difficulty and heaviness in breathing

• Fatigue after any physical exercise

• Confusion in vision

• Lower back pain

• flu-like symptoms

• Confused in thinking

• Depression and Anxiety ( Planning to take Anti-Depressant )

Doctor put me on this

• Acyclovir 1000 mg per day for (ONE Month) ONLY!

• 5-HTP 200 mg because i have depression and anxiety ( per day )

• Vitamin C 1000 mg ( per day )

• Magnesium 400 mg ( per day )

• Iodine drops ( per day )

• Probiotics 20 billions ( per day )

• Vitamin A 5000 IU ( per day )

• Echinacea 400 mg ( per day )
--------------------------------------------

This is quick look about what i'm taking and my symptoms, anyway that's my blood test, i've CMV and EBV

So now, i know that i will use Valtrex and Valcyte, but should i use same dosage that Dr Lerner said ?
like

Valtrex 1,000 mg four times daily

and

Valcyte 450 mg twice daily

and if i will be on those dosages, How long will i be on those dosages based on my blood test ?, my functional doctor said that my Anti bodies not very high, so what should i do ?

Thanks

I had CMV, EBV, and HHV6. My doctor, a top specialist, originally wanted me on 3g of Valtrex a day, which was higher than my health insurance would allow. So, he switched me to Valcyte 450mg 4 timrs a day. I took it for 10 months. He monitored me with "safety labs," a CMP (complete metabolic panel) and CBC (complete blood count) every 3-4 weeks for the entire time I was on it, but I had minimal side effects. In one month, my brain fog cleared and my fatigue improved gradually in the time on it. After multiple negative PCR tests, he took me off it.

Not sure why you'd need the acyclovir...

You may also want to look into RBC folate, methylmalonic acid, homocysteine, and glutathione levels. They're known to be off in ME/CFS patients, and optimixing your methylation process by taking the nutrients thst feed it can help your brain symptoms.

Hello @Learner1 ,

Thank your for reply.

Unfortunately my doctor keep saying that my values are not very high, and Valcyte and Valtrex is not for my case.
i need to know is that my values need Valcyte and Valtrex or no ???, and if i need Valcyte and Valtrex what dosage should i take based on my blood test ??

Thanks anyway
