Woohoo...this is GRAND!!!  I am so happy to have an expert whom can answer all the questions we have concerning immune diseases.  I know I have several (so i'll try to span them out, lol).  

This is quite exciting and i'm so glad Dr. Nicolson has taken the time to join MedHelp and assist us with his knowledge and skills.

I am thrilled as well !!  I think it is important to know which infections are found in both fibro and CFS and how those infections can be treated. I know that mycoplasma is a huge one and this is an infection that I've had and am being treated for. Treatment is slow, but I had made so much progress. As a result, my blood pressure is now stable. My intolerance to gluten has disappeared and my allergies are less severe in general (although still a problem). And for the first time in over 15 years, my periods are NORMAL. I was told that on these pathogen killing treatments, that eventually my hormones would adjust. I was skeptical, but it is true !!!!

I know that Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum discusses mycoplasma infections in his revised book "From Fatigued to Fantastic". Of course Dr. Teitelbaum has CFS himself (or should I say had ?) and is one of the leading CFS and fibromyalgia experts.
