Hi Terri,
Thank you so very much for your prompt reply. I will be having the blood draw for the Western Blot on March 19th, I will keep you posted. In regards to stopping the Valtrex, the only concern from my Doctors was if I was a true positive and had an outbreak it most likely will be fairly uncomfortable for me since I have this chronic autoimmune issue as well as, chronic pain condition where any assault on my body registers with more intensity than normal, unfortunately.
1) If I stop the Valtrex now (Today) is March 19th, too soon for Western Blot blood draw? I am out of state and having the blood drawn at my internist’s office? Would be ok to stay on 500mgs a day vs 1000?.
2) I’ve read some of your posts on Cellular protein issues causing false positives, could this be what is going on? Thank you once again, for all of your help!
Thank you.
