Mayo does say it can be chronic. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mononucleosis/expert-answers/mononucleosis/faq-20058564
Thank you for posting. I have been reading every post that comes online about EBV. I was diagnosed about two months ago however, I believe I have had this most of my adult life. I am making an appointment with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I'm not too helpful since I haven't read anyone with real positive results after getting tested and diagnosed at the Clinic. I read that you do recommend a visit to Mayo but you indicated that they didn't recognize the disease as a chronic virus. Now that some time has passed was the trip to Mayo worth it? I hate to travel to the mid-west in the winter.
