Thank you, I also wish you and all ppl. the best. :thumbsup:
About my history: I had the first Fibromyalgia signs 2006 (diagnosed many years later), but was able to manage the chronic pain (weight lifting help me a lot to fight Fibromyalgia).
- so, the real big hassle started 2014 aftering getting cold/flue, this (unknown) infect never really gone.

The doctors told me I have to push myself to get ridd off the fatigue.
I had not known in past anything about ME/CFS and how fatal it is to push yourself if you have such an illness, the endresult was getting bedridden.
Since this time, I have some serious problems with few doctors + their quackery.

My ME/CFS specialist tests for all herpes viruses, and when he found I had HHV6, EBV and CMV, he immediately prescribed 1.8g Valcyte daily. My brain fog cleared within 30 days of being on Valcyte and fatigue has gradually improved.

Perhaps you can tell your CFS specialist this is what his/her colleagues are doing...

Do you recall what tests you had done for the viruses and what your results were? Thank you
