has anyone read any articles about the pridgen antiviral protocol? or has anyone tried it? it sounds very interesting even though not approved for fibro it seems like the various medications are available.

Hi my friend

I have read about this and I have pasted you an excerpt from a *research website:

*Big Trial Ahead

Next up is the big third phase trial – a jaw dropping $50-100 million trial the FDA needs in order to approve the drug combo for the treatment of fibromyalgia.

Hopefully new treatments will keep emerging and that we have the chance to try them? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

always need to keep looking for anything that will help us get "through the day". have heard some success with this method. it's sad that will take many years for most of these meds to get to the point where we can use them.

Yes, it sounds quite promising form what I have read about it. Hopefully we won't be waiting 30 years for a treatment to break through to us?

Hi .I did this trial 2 years ago with no success. But of course everyone is different,my gp had to sign disclaimer not to tell in detail the combination of medication.you can contact Dr skip directly through his website he has a private practice in America but he will want to liase with your gp.Only improvement I saw was cessation of reacurring cold sores.Best of luck of you do proceed.☺

This is interesting. I have had recurrent herpes simplex infections and shingles. I initially had CFS, which started with a serious herpes infection around my eyes. Since then I have developed FM and have constant problems with herpes simplex round my eyes and on my face. I have suggested to both my doctor and rheumatologist that I suspect there is a connection. My doctor was more responsive than my rheumatologist. I think we have an illness that can be triggered by different and complex factors. For some of us I suspect herpes simplex is a key trigger.

The fact that Fibro care is not joined up and that we are sent to a range of separate specialists -rheumatologist, neurologists, immunologists is a problem. I have long suspected that immunology would be more helpful to me, but my doctor is insistent that the appropriate treatments are through rheumatology.

I will show her the details of this and see what she thinks.
