I have the West Nile Virus (manmade kind) since July/August. I am getting better with CS taking at least 2-3 oz in the am and pm for 7 days now. I was so ill in August I could not drive my car as I could not concentrate. When I could get to sleep at night I would have to sleep 12-16 hours at a stretch. I could barely get out of bed. At night I would "burn up" and sweat profusely with malaria like symptoms. My face was all puffy and I could barely open my swollen eyes. When I went to dr in Sept my doctor said I had "allergies"!! I had a temperature of 102. She refused to believe I had the West Nile because she had no "wonder cure" to give me. Typical doctor reaction. She just wanted to order a bunch of "expensive tests" to run up the bill and send me to a specialist!!! Ah, the wonders of modern medicine. She did give me some antibiotics which toned down the problem a little but it flared back up to full strength again in early November. I went back for another round of antibiotics then. I got a little bit better but was still suffering the puffy, swollen eyes, lethargy, unable to concentrate symptoms. I still had to sleep at least 10-12 hours a day. The more I stayed in bed the WORSE I felt and the worse my face was swollen up.
Has anyone else had this vicious virus? How did you get rid of it? How long did it take for you to get rid of it? I feel much better taking the CS now than I did before. I definitely can feel the difference the CS has made. I am using as a nasal spray and now around my eyes are not puffy and do not hurt so in the morning. My malaria like symptoms at night are going away little by little. I am STILL not over this. But at least now I know that with CS I will eventually get better. The CS has also made my arthritic condition go dormant!!!! Nice side effect if you ask me. Thanks Linda P in Ohio
