I am a 48 year old woman who had Epstein-Barr Virus when I was 19 yrs old. I dropped out of college so many times that eventually I gave up. From this virus I have developed Mitral Valve Prolapse. I have a friend who's son contracted Leukemia as a direct correlation from this auto-immune disease. I have suffered bouts of chronic fatigue, depression, anemia, low-blood cell counts, and now stomach issues and possible Diabetes. This disease has haunted me like an evil specter and I am so tired of seeing arrogant doctors who know diddly-squat about this disorder and think all woman are just hysterical drama queens. I am so fed up I don't lknow what to do. I called my insurance today and was told they have ENT-Immunologists but no Immunologists participating in my plan. WTF do I do ???????
