After two months of suffering from a crash like I have never had before, or worsening of the disease, I have considered the possibility of having a viral reactivation of my ebv. my blood tests from my GP showed lymphocytes above the norm - the opposite of what I have always had (lymphopenia), neutropenia and in my desperation to get out of this severe state (I can do absolutely nothing but lie in the dark), I took a tablet of valtrex 500 yesterday morning. ( I bought antivirals a few years ago in southeurope where i dont need a prescription) .Throughout the day I drank 3 litres of water and ate a lot of fruit because I know that you have to drink a lot. At the end of the day the only thing I had urinated was 300 ml which again I interpret as oliguria (I had it in the past when I tried LDN) and today for 24 hours despite drinking a lot I have hardly urinated and I have pain in my kidney.
I can't go to the hospital because i am severe , besides the only thing they have done there once and again when I went to the ER, was to look at my renal function and as it was not dramatic (only slightly low, 70, 80) they didn't do any more tests.
My question here is if this could be kidney failure caused by the valtrex or if anyone has these side effects with this medication or with LDN of urinating very little and retaining fluids. as I have no possibility of monitoring me with a doctor, as they don't know about the ME and the only ones who monitor ME patients are private, and as I have no possibility of accessing a nephrologist either (they won't give me an appointment, as I am not a dialysis patient nor do I have a ‘reason’), I ask here for help, because I am totally adrift, alone and helpless in this and this state is becoming unbereable. Should I keep trying the medication or is it dangerous? has anyone gone through this?
