I need help sorting this out...

I've started many new things... Herbs, IVs, switched to doxy last month, added more supplements.... Anyway, I've been feeling so much better the last couple weeks, but still having issues here and there. Long story short, a couple days ago I started getting a virus - I've had it before - believed to be shingles (it's strange), anyway, I took a leftover antiviral medication (prescribed when I had a bad cold sore in April), it did a good job - worked to put the virus down, but I also noticed a MAJOR increase in symptoms for about 36 hours on the antiviral.... And today (still on the antiviral) I feel awesome!!!! Best I've felt in along time, I have one pill left to take tomorrow. I believe the increase in symptoms was a herx.

I'm wondering what your opinions are...?

Does this mean a virus is causing the majority of my issues at this point?
I had high antibodies for ebv and cmv but negative for a current virus. I'm already taking 1000 mg of lysine, inner defense, and powder vitamin c.
Is there any other natural antiviral I can take that might be better?

I would agree that it was some kind of die off most likely.

I would suggest that you stay on the L-lysine, only raise your dose. I just got past an reactivation of the herpes virus that causes cold sores (I always forget which one that is, dang it!) and used 3,000 mg of L-lysine and knocked the cold sore out in two days - I'm slowly coming down in my dose of L-lysine though and I'm now down to 300 mgs.

Otherwise I'd suggest talking with your doctor and explain this to them. They should know about it either way though.
