Began to feel better lately until recently. Last two days i've had unrelenting fatigue, and have just felt awful. This is similar to the fatigue i had when my symptoms were at their worst. I guess my question is how do you guys explain your fatigue? My fatigue causes strange sensations, and its almost like painful fatigue. Like my fatigue is so bad that is actually hurts. Stinks and its very upsetting because it felt like I was making progress until recently

Since i've felt bad i have upped my detox- doing multiple epsom salt foot soaks, dry skin brushing, lemon water, alka seltzer gold etc.

Yep it sounds like something viral. EBV and HHV6 are notorious for causing fatigue among other things. Even the mycoplasmas can cause fatigue.

Yeah well i've had all of those. Last time i was tested when my fatigue was at its worst i had active coxsackie and HSV2. HHV6 and EBV were only IGG positive and not active. What can be done for this? I was taking valtrex months ago when i first started treatment. maybe i'll give my LLMD a call. But theres a chance this could be just a herx right? because sometimes I'll have this fatigue that last just a few days and leaves.

Have you checked to see if you're running a low grade fever during those times?

I always equate those feelings, when I stop and think about them, as flu-like achy-ness. 3/4 of the time if I go take my temperature, sure enough it's 99. something trying to push me over the 100 degree mark. Most of the time it doesn't go that far, but sometimes it does and then it's time for me to hit the bed and baby myself for a day or two.

This has been a sure sign for me that my immune system has kicked in for the fight.


A nurse told me if it goes over 100, the immune system is loosing ground, but I don't know if that's a very scientific point of view. Though I firmly believe the rest of it.

At any rate, rest might be what's called for at those times, regardless of what's going on.
