UPDATE: On September 23, 2010 I received notice from my PCP that I had tested positive for XMRV from WPI Whittemore Peterson in Reno Nevada. I had beeen dismissed by my PCP just three weeks prior. I found a Fantastic Doctor at the Northampton Wellness Associates in Northampton Mass. He put me on Valcyte and ran all the bood tests that I dreamed of having. In addition to being XMRV positive my tests revelaed that I had very high titers for hhv6, Cpn Chalmydia Pneumoniae, and Mycoplasma and CMV. It showed that I had a recent infection of Epstein Barr. I have a lot of work ahead of me but after seven years in a broken medical system I finally found my way out of the broken labryninth! I continue on Valcyte. I was also Vitamin D-3 defecient even though I had been taking 3000 IU's a day. I now take 10000 IU's a day and it helps as does the valcyte. I give myself b-12 injections and I now take a bioidentical version of testosterone that I apply to myself down-under. I have severe day-night reversal due to the damage to my HPA axis from the co-infections and XMRV retrovirus. I take 25mg twice in the am of DHEA, it is helping. I was in sales and on the road 1000 miles a week. It began with Thoracic Outlet syndrome. Neck pain. Taken care of by Vioxx. Then things went downhill.I went on disability insurance from my employer, neck surgery for DDD. Anterior Cervical Disectomy with graph and Titanium plate, removing C4-C6 in Dec 2005.Never got better, medical world doesn't like people who don't get well. More and more pain killers nothing worked. I got the Fibro diagnos from a Rhuemy in 2008. I am a 58 year old Father of two children (now) 17 and 15. I have Chronic Fatigue with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I have severe chronic Pain that is in part physical (mechanical) and part super amplified pain processing from the FM parts of CFIDS. I had ACDF on 12/15/2005 which threw my FM/CFS into high gear.Over these many years my health has degenerated every year.
