Well, I want to give an update. I had two consults with Dr. Dantini. He ordered the viral testing on me, and I was elevated in regard to EBV and super elevated in regard to Parvovirus (which I had no idea humans could get). My doctor here took Dr. Dantini's protocol suggestion and prescribed Valtrex 3 times a day for the next 3 months. I was told to take that with L-lysine, medicinal mushrooms, beta glucan, d-ribose, and curcumin. Believing for good results!

I have a phone consult next week with a Dr. Dantini in Palm Coast, Florida. He has been testing and treating fibro patients for years with antivirals. I believe he boasts a 70% success rate. You can go to www.4fibromyalgia.com for more information.

I should mention his staff told me to boost my immune system any way I can as that will aid the process. He will consult with me, they said, and if my symptoms line up with what he knows fibro to be, he will order viral titers to see if any are elevated in me. They also do extensive food allergy tests.

Yes, of course, I sure will. I ran a low grade fever for almost 4 weeks before my first symptoms. My instinct told me I must have been fighting something. I googled if there was link between fibro and viruses like herpes or ebv and came across Dr. Dantini. I will post how it goes.

Missa Please let me know how you make out. Keeping the virus in check is the key. You may still have symptoms but not severe like I have been. They say antivirals and celebrex is the combination to make normal life bearable. It makes sense to me, with fibro we have flare ups and with shingles you also have flare ups.
