Why not try to treat cfs with anti virals? nothing to loose right? my doc says no, not indicated?

It depends: If your doc suspects its a viral meningitis especially herpes, then it should be treated.Most of the time we don't find any evidence and cultures are negative, you don't need any treatment.
