A number of people have been asking me how I have been responding to the Valtrex so far. To be honest, I've seen very little improvement. I think at this point my body is almost too distracted with meeting other needs and dealing with other issues to respond on any level yet. I am looking forward to a much-needed vacation in the near future.
In the mean time, I have been trying to pursue a philosophy of "avoid anything that is not related to healing." Note that I said "trying." Every day seems to have a few exceptions. Tuesday it was a trip to Lowes to pick out furnishings for the bathroom remodeling project. Yesterday it was a much-needed fall shopping trip to replace my too-big wardrobe with things that fit and are warm (yay!!). Today I need to catch up in my online class, since I've gotten a bit behind. The past few days have also been sleepless and full of emotion. I think I've cried as many hours as I have had dry eyes. I think I've been awake as many hours as I have slept, but felt exhausted regardless of being awake or being in a dream. My body aches for complete healing.

Disclaimer: If you have a health resource you can't resist sharing, I would love to hear about it if you feel it will be truly helpful. I am already doing my best to fight this illness from a nutritional, structural, as well as medical stand-point. Please avoid comments with "miracle cure" stories about your Aunt Milly's granddaughter who drank coltsfoot tea for a week and has been fine ever since. I'm very thankful it worked for her in her case, but there are so many environmental, emotional, and other factors that make CFS/ME complicated and different from just an average illness. That being said, please leave thoughtful and uplifting comments below.
