Anyone know about antiviral chemotherapy for Fibromyalgia?

[tyblossom]

Someone posted on another board that they had antiviral chemotherapy and after, their fibromyalgia was gone. Has anyone heard of this before? I don't even know what this is...a pill type chemo?

Antiviral chemotherapy ? Sounds frightening !  Why do that when we have Valcyte (also a little bit frightening, but probably not as bad as the chemotherapy treatment) ?

why are you calling it chemotherapy? do you just mean antiviral drugs? if so, there is a lot of information on antivirals for FM on the immunesupport.com message boards and on the internet.

good luck

I googled  " antiviral chemotherapy for Fibromyalgia" and got 6,100 responses! I can't believe it!  I'm going back and read them now.......one looked very good that said that they thought that Fibro was caused by some disease of the liver, wow would that make since, and that when they were treated with chemo for the liver disease the Fibro dissappeared....hmmmmmm!!!!

I had chemo for Hep C and got FM. I don't think there are any Chemo's out there for fibromyalgia.  The only thing that is supposed to be the FM drug is Lyrica. It works for me. I have been off chemo for a year and have terrible flares of FM, but the Lyrica does help a lot!
