PS: The NOVA ME/CFS clinic has put me on the antiviral Valtrex for the reactivated EBV/mono (well actually the generic valacyclovir)
The Valtrex has kept the mono from killing me a couple of months ago (it was really taking me down) but it hasn’t knocked out the mono yet.
I consider my self lucky not to be co-infected with MULTIPLE herpes family viruses and other viruses that other s with ME/CFS are found to be co-infected with when tested at NOVA and Stanford.
Hang in there. Those valtrex 1 gram tablets are big and a challenge to get down. Stay hydrated as thats the only risk with valacyclovir - it forms crystals in your kidneys if you get dehydrated. May you get relief soon.
