Well, it's another day and I'm still a bit more fatigued than usual but it's slowly getting back to "normal" (for CFS). I sleep deep and have a lot of dreams, yet I wake up excessively too, which is frustrating.
CFS since- I was checking for your update. I felt less drugged yesterday but still slept really hard and alot. Last night I slept 12 hours and only got up once. That is unheard of for me. I do feel very groggy so far this morning. Like I said, yesterday was a little better. I think today is gonna be a couch day. It isnt an awful, sick, anxious tired like I got with Valcyte. Just very groggy. I get numbness in the right side of my face and right leg too. Strong anti virals always bring it on with a bang so I stop regardless of the docs advice that it is a good sign. My facial numbness is pretty severe now too. Im not ready to back off yet though.
Of course I am not sure what is going on here. Im not saying it is the Tagament or a herx or a good or bad thing. Something is certainly happening though. Cant say I mind all the deep sleep....
I agree with the others that you might consider decreasing the dose a bit. Once you are able to handle a lower dose you can increase it again.
I believe these are signs it's working, it fits the pattern, but we can't be sure so... use at your own risk.
I assume other H2 agonists would also suppress T-suppressor cells, but the study they did on HIV said that zantac and pepcid were much weaker at inhibiting HIV, so I'm sticking with tagamet for now with the hope that it is also the best XMRV suppressor.
