I got mono when I was 19. Horribly sick for 3 months. It cleared up, didnt have a problem until my late 30's. 7-8 yrs of Chronic Fatigue, following a depressive episode. After typical experience of many doctor visits with no diagnosis, and normal blood work I finally found a doctor that was able to treat me. The treatment was 2 months of amphotericin b in capsule form from a compounding pharmacy in tandem with 2 months of the candida diet. Did wonders, 2years now of feeling good, I had one , three week flair up a couple of months ago and returned to the strict version of candida diet, followed with oregano oil and olive leaf extract. Not 100percent but a lot better. Now, last 3 years I have been getting some episodes of vertigo, I have read that EBV flair ups can cause this, among other things. The good news is the last three years more doctors are aware of cfs and fibro, and more treatments are available. Stanford has a team working on this, they are treating it as a pathogen with anti viral/ anti inflammatory cocktails, similar to HIV approach. I think, personally, EBV, POX , HERPES 1 & 2 are responsible for these autoimmune diseases. If you keep your immune system in tip top shape and treat with anti virals I think there is hope. You need a doctor that is well versed in these ailments and new treatments, the others will have no answers.
