Apparently I don't build up an immunity to it. I misunderstood you. I thought you were relating M.E. to the herpes virus, not fibromyalgia. I'm lucky I don't have fibro. I know, however that fibro has very specific points in the body it attacks (You'll find loads of charts if you google it). When you had your pains was it those points it was in or was it more generalised.
