CMV and EBV results

Messages

Hi everyone,

I suffer from CFS and my fatigue is only getting worse.
I've done a whooole lot of testing lately however they didn't find much. Apparently I've had CMV and EBV but currently they're not active. I do have blisters under my tounge but don't know if that's related.

I'd appreciate if anyone could help me interpret these results and tell me if there's anything to do. I'm interested in trying Valtrex to see if it may improve things.
