I am really struggling to function mentally at the moment so may be asking an obvious question.
I just read on one of the boards that the NICE guidelines have EBV as an exclusionary condition.
I have no recollection of ever having EBV but have had some terrible colds with raging sore throats in the past. Part of my pattern of overdoing things involves swollen glands/ mild sore throat feeling like getting a cold but doesn't happen. These days that is usually followed the next day by muscle pain and then often a couple of days where I just can't make my body do stuff. ( I have other symptoms too)
the NHS general consultant that I saw did test for EBV and it came back positive for me having had it at some point - no idea when.
Does this mean I definitely don't have ME?
Thanks for your patience. I used to be great at getting my head round stuff like this but not anymore.
