I thought they linked CFS with Epstein Barr Virus?

Maybe you didn't have mono, in that case. The presence of mono is determined

via a test for the Epstein Barr virus. There are some other nasty,

long-lingering viruses out there, too, of course.

Maybe I didn't have mono. These two illnesses were in high school and

college. I know they did some tests but being as this was back many many

decades, maybe the tests were not as good then.

n -- I want to talk with my GI doc about LDN during my appt in 2 weeks.

It's also supposed to be great for FMS/CFS, so it might be just what I need!

Can you tell me what dose you started at and any other info that might be

helpful to tell the doctor? (I'm also going to look at the LDN Yahoo group)

Does insurance usually cover LDN or is it considered off-label?
