And shingles is a viral conditon as is herpes. Too bad you didn't have CS at the time.

I had heard that it was a B12 and or folic acid deficiency can cause this. My own theory is that it is a manifestation of the herpes virus as I had a fairly bad case of this, although not nearly as bad as you Kirsteen. I had awful 'stabbing' pains in various places; under the flabby bit of my arm; around my ribs, and across my middle back. The pain was quite excruciating and my skin would be so tender I couldn't touch it. My doctor said it was shingles, which I poo-poohed as I had no lesions at all. I had to live on pain killers and amitriptylene an anti depressant which doctors use for this condition. I now think he was right as when I *did* get shingles i.e. With lesions, I used tons of CS plus l-lysine and all the vits and minerals I could ingest! I also had a bad case of sciatica, which also went with this regime.

This condition M.E. sounds a lot like what I have Hi Scott You could try http://www.mechat.co.uk/ there's a lot of links there. Unfortunately, over here, the psychiatric brigade hijacked the funding for research and of course won't let go so there's very little biomedical research done on it. We're still frequently told it's all in our heads and all we need is some CBT to persuade us we're not ill and we'll be fine. Despite that we're not allowed to donate organs or blood and the changes in the brain stem are showing up on autopsies and it can now officially be given as a cause of death. If you can afford the private tests you can also show the degeneration in the mitochondria, and the ATp / Awhatsits imbalance.
