Can you explain this further b/c in Hashimoto's Disease (at least in my case), I have both autoantibodies, TPO and TGAb. There are other...
I didn't mean to imply that mold illness equals ME versus, in my personal opinion, that mold/mycotoxins is one potential trigger of ME. It is...
I didn't vote either but I believe strongly that environmental triggers are one (of many) causes of ME in some cases. Environmental medicine is...
Is there any known treatment for this virus? Does it respond to HIV medications?
