Hi,
just had my visit to Brussels and De Meirleir.
I have an active HHV-7 infection, measured through Nested PCR at Redlabs. Moreover my Rnase and Elastase values are increased.
The most important thing he said about HHV-7 was that it's nearly identical to HHV-6 and can cause exactly the same symptoms. Moreover there is a much higher prevalence of HHV-6 in the United Sates than in Europe where HHV-7 has a higher prevalence. There is a study which says that HHV-7 increases the likelyhood of HHV-6 reactivation.
He put me on Nexavir/2ml a day for 3 months and prescribed me Valcyte. The Nexavir is expensive enough (1500 $ for 3 months) but I cannot afford the Valcyte as long as my insurance doesn't cover it. It's easier to get it for HHV-6. 450mg/60tablets cost about 3500$ here in Germany.
I'm looking forward to the next months and I will try to get into contact with the virological station of a hospital. It's much more easy for them to move a insurance to pay for medication than for a normal doctor.
I will keep you informed.
Have a nice day!
