I participated in Ampligen phase III drug trials, so I am sure I have cfs/me . How would raltegravir affect me?

I also had a bout of Ulcerative Colitis when I was young that subsequently went into remission. That would be a miracle for me if this one drug would knock out all of it. It figures that the drug is very expense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446911767611771282.post-15106852044154147552009-11-26T10:17:22.736-08:002009-11-26T10:17:22.736-08:00I am interested in what you have to say.

I also have a persistent rash on my chest that my allergist suspects is due to lupus.<br /><br />So, what can you tell me about this "other arm" and are there any drugs that you know of that might end up being better-suited to treat the "other arm"?<br /><br />Also very interested in how XMRV relates to fibromyalgia. The only study I've heard of is that 12 out of 20 fibro patients tested positive. I want to hear there is a larger study being done. I asked the NFA about it and got a response that they ran a short news item on XMRV in their Sept. newsletter but that the "scientific work focused on CFIDS, which is clinically different from fibromyalgia." <br /><br />I am confused by the apparent lack of interest from the leaders in the fibro industry. <br /><br />Thanks for your blog. I am eager to learn more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
