I'm sure you know this already, but get your Epstein Barr levels checked... Your IGG will be positive, but if youe IGM is also poitive, you know you have a current infection. EBV is the virus that causes mono. Also-- it wouldnt hurt to get your HHV6 levels tested... virus also associated with CFIDS (i remember you had Lyme, but I wasnt sure if you had CFIDS as well)
At that point I dont know what they would give you to help.. possibly antivirals? Gah-- I really hope you dont have it and you feel better once the weather stops changing.
This is all just so frustrating. Like I need something ELSE wrong with me. And of course, I keep hearing from family and family friends that I probably just have a cold. I know that the doc can't do anything really for me, and I really can't afford the cab ride and the copay, but ... being disregarded as not really that sick is making me reeeaaaaaally want to get tested.
