This article said it like herpes virus can lay dorment in our bodies Im curious is this virus causing alot of our problems now ,fibromyalgia? Do you have any info from Mayo on this? Thanks Linda

My doctor has retired and l had another episode. L called the nurse at the doctor office who retired for 2 days no call back.my husband had to stay home with me for 2days. Yesterday my hepatoligisr nurse knew exactly what was going on. She told my husband my ammonia level were fluctuating and they would call me xifaxin to take. I took it last night l was talking great and was able to go to the bathroom. My son, husband and daughter all called and couldn't understand me. I couldn't get out of the bed and l was vomiting. My daughter said maybe you are dehydrated. I ate in the morning and drank but as far as BM it worked. So l had some soup and water so she said try and take the pill again. I told her no thanks. I looked up the side effects and it said everything l did so are all other prescription side effects and these are some of the symptoms l have been dealing with before expect instead of vomiting l was nauseated so l will have to call again. I hate taking different meds that have side effects that don't go with another med you are taking and l an very careful and read the ingredients because 2 times l got meds from a pharmacy that l was allergic too. And 2 medicines that were recalled. And l was told by a doctor that ammonia levels that are high are different in different states. And also different labs. So they probably give me another med and of course you are fearful of taking one that doesn't agree with you.
