Autoimmune issues?

just wanted to mention I got my MD to test for every possible standard blood test such as endo, heavy metals, aid, hiv (would you believe gastro never tested me for that) then went for vascular, heart, thyroid, brain, and worked with a pyschiatrist, so we were sure it was not depression (already on the anti d for three years).   How we came up with the EBV and HVV6 was from a stanford university study on chronic fatigue. The difficult part was finding what the chronic fatigue came from.  It wasnt the hep C since I had the hep C for thirty years and was the over the top ants in my pants cant sit still until two week into tx.

Since I came up positive activative virus for these new virus, I have been googling the HHV6 virus which is very common in any chemo post tx.  It reactivates.  They are finding HHV6 and EBV combination virus causes classic chronic fatigue, migrane, brain fog, pain in the joint.  Our body cannot suppress the virus back down and suppose to be treatable.
I found one link that gives details on the virus and its treatment and then the other is from the latest conference.  Again it appears from I can see the virus is fine as a child but not good as adults and when we are in battle for the more serious hep C the system cannot handle the virus that are getting in the way for sucessfull return to health as we once knew it.  I am optimistic.
