I really think it is the big driver of my ME
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
after my COVID infection
Summary
Reports ME that they think is driven by herpes 6 or 7, after three episodes of pityriasis rosea following a COVID infection. They took aciclovir 1000 mg for half a year and valacyclovir 1000 mg daily for half a year, and said neither seemed to do anything. They asked others whether they had tried any antiviral treatment for herpes 6 or 7 when posting in October 2023.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
