Hello
DH has been off work since Nov following a virus. Dr is initially saying it was 'post viral syndrome' but the longer it goes on, the more likely it is looking like it could be ME/chronic fatigue syndrome.
We luckily have private healthcare with his work, so most other things have been ruled out fairly speedily. Which is typically how ME/CFS is diagnosed - by elimination & after 6 months.
He did have Epstein–Barr in his system when tested a while after the virus, but I think most of the population have a bit of it in them.
I am clinging onto the hope that it is EB and he will recover sooner than later.
We have a close friend with ME and have seen how debilitating it is. There don't seem to be any ME specialists who you can see privately, the experts appear to be in the NHS, so we are trying to get him onto the waiting list.
I think I am probably going through the denial stage of supporting someone who is likely to have a long term condition!
Thanks in advance...
