Hello!
I have posted here before but I am mostly lurking in the shadows. I do have a question for you.
I had mono in 2010 (lasted about one year) which left me with PEM after intense actibvities and in need of a nap or so a week but that's about it. In January 2017, I became bed bound for about 6 months and I am still inable to work or care for my 3 year old more than 3 days a week.
To get to the point, my EBV results have been as attached simce June 2016 (doctors hadn't told me, I just discovered after getting results printed).
***See lab results in comments as I forgot to post.***
My questions:
1) Am I having mono a second time? It feels much worse that the 1st time.
2) Do I have CFS because of EBV?
3) Would a specialist help? If yes, which one? (Immunologist, infectious disease?)
4) My family doctor says I don't have mono and refuses to try an antiviral, such as Famvir. Anyone think it would be helpful?
I can't get another doctor because I live in rural Ontario, Canada and doctors are pretty scarce.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this. I am sending everyone love and courage.
