My LLMD ordered this test and I came back positive and says I could still be infected but didnt go over the treatment because I am battling babs. Does anyone know if this can be treated and how ? Like Babs, I have zero classic symptoms of this infection.

interestingly enough, when looking into light my eye floaters look exactly like this:

I also have black floats and squiggly lines.

I have lots of those same floaters. I never knew it could be from Coxsackie.

I have high IgG levels- 1:360 (I think). They had never been addressed until ART testing showed that I do in fact need to address viruses.

Timaca has posted some interesting info about stealth viruses. Check out:

I have been diagnosed with Coxsackie too. I have squiggly lines in my vision also. I was treated for viruses for a couple of months, but don't think it got the job done.

what kind of virus is this

Posted by sickmate (Member # 31502) on :

My titer was also slightly elevated, but its hard to say which infection causes which symptom.

I think Coxsackie can cause a simple flu but also CFS.

It's an enterovirus...whatever that means.

I think it's a virus that everyone was exposed to as a kid and can resurface when the immune system is down. (I'm not 100% sure though)
