Subject: RE: Help my girlfriend solve medical mystery
Body:

No, I'm not advocating them at all. I don't take them. But many with CFS have benefited from them, including doctors who suffer from the disease (they've chronicled their journey), which could be a tell. We need clinical studies. I don't like Valtrex either, but it can be used to manage early stage and relapsing mono (this and Valcyte is a favorite of infectious disease doc Martin Lerner in MI, who claims he suffered from CFS and cured it, but I don't think he sees the whole picture, and he has failed many). But alternatives can work as well. I've been fortunate enough to have access to unorthodox therapies that have raised my NK and CD4 counts, as well as damped down inflammation.

Sometimes drugs are needed as a last-ditch measure, in acute, deadly disease, or in tandem with alternative therapies. The only "drug" which I've ever really benefited from is low dose naltrexone, which is fairly innocuous. Everything else has made me feel like utter crap. The only other drugs I take are a couple of sleep meds, which, frankly, are incredibly difficult for me to wean and I'm a bit pissed at the doctor who originally put me on them. I'm attempting to wean them.
