Hi energyoverload,
My main treatments are famvir and cycloferon which have worked well and have been working on correcting some low hormone problems i had which have improved with natural treatments but still needs some tinkering. I was feeling quite good at the end of last year and it showed in my lymphocyte tests which have been the best they have for along time. Cycloferon being an immune modulator like immunovir and is said to need to have breaks from them every so often so in January i stopped cycloferon, actually ran out.
From there i started feeling unwell, at first i thought it may have been all the stuff i was doing to improve my hormones eg cortisol/dhea etc. I also didnt want to start back on cyclo until i had another lymphocyte test to see how it go's when off cyclo. My break from cyclo was longer then i wanted as i didnt get tested again until about mid march. My tests had showed my hormones had improved but my lymphocytes had gone up slightly, cd8 lymphocyte which is linked to the herpes viruses was the main one and has always been above normal anyway but it had jumped up. Also found that my neutrophils had dropped which is a marker of poor immune health. So feeling like crap wasnt my imagination. Work wise i have dropped back to part time to help me recover and to get some sort of a life as my work involves weekend and shift work, the rest of the time was spent lying in bed.
So i have been waiting for my order of cyclo to arrive and it came 3 days ago, within an hour i injected myself with it. The next day i felt better. Same response when i first tried it, so i dont think its a fluke but will keep monitoring it. Theres definately something to this cycloferon, i wish one of the cfs guru's like Klimas or KDM etc could look into as their opinion would be interesting. Many people have PM'd me about cyclo and are trying it, some have said they felt worse at first others are saying its helping, but early days yet, hopefully everyone gets back to me with how there going. This might gives us some indication if it may help alot more people as its alot cheaper then many treatments out there, maybe thats why others are persuing it too??
cheers!!!
