Well I am confused. I have been ill for 10 years going down slowly, and could have MS, and now long story Lymes. I have been having extensive tests for Lymes and many blood tests by a private clinic. They have found I have a co infection of Lymes and probably Lymes. BUT also alongside a load of deficiencys they found I have EBV and CMV. My doctor said my EBV levels were at 98 whatever that means. There are also other things like positive rheumatoid factors, fungal antibodies, and a few other things lol.
Now I dont have CFS. I was told that at the beginning. I do not get chronic fatigue, infact my energy levels in the morning is not too bad, its just the pain that wears me out and my energy depletes from 3pm. I actually sleep really well too and only wake up in pain, but usually go back to sleep with 1 diazepam.
Now what worries me is this. My husband has problems at the moment with his liver. He is having a liver scan on Monday. He is always tired and has no energy. On his blood tests in May it showed it had EBV infection at some point.
So did he give it to me, or did i give it to him, and could his EBV be the cause of so many gastric problems he has had since October. He came back from Indonesia and has had odd things really bad pain etc they thought he had gallstones, nothing, biliary blockage nothing.
He is getting sicker. His liver enzymes are in a mess.
He cant do anything without feeling exhausted. For example on saturday he had to move a few things, and by the afternoon i thought he would pass out, he looked dreadful. He recovered though with rest and a good sleep. He doesnt seem to be able to do very much of anything.
He is 67, and sadly has COPD and still works, but not sure now what is COPD and what is the liver problem.
Anyway sorry could we have passed it to each other and could he now have CFS? It would fit. I know about M.E. and CFS as my daughter has it. I am very worried about him now.
