EBV and Hashi's Hi all From Alana

[Guest guest]

The anitbodies are present in my body and are chronic and reactive

but at the moment they are not infectious, the numbers are all high

for the EBV, normal is 0 to 99, they range from 313, 782, and 3024,

the only one in the normal range is the infectious which was 22.

I will be on the hunt for a doctor that meets all the criteria. At

this point my Chronic Fatigue is making it hard for me to make it out

of bed. I have to force myself to eat, I have to force myself to

take a shower, I have to basically force myself to live. If it

wasn't for my daughters I don't know if I would get up in the

morning.
