It’s been a while since I posted but I thought it might be helpful to give you an update. If you recall, I mentioned I had been tested many times over the past few years for Epstein Barr. The blood tests were always antibody tests. My results were off the chart and based on the results, I was categorized as having Chronic Epstein Barr. I sent these results to one of the top Epstein Barr specialists and I received a response telling me, with respect to the Epstein Barr, I should get a viral load test done. Well, the results came back with a normal reading. I still need to review the results with my immunologist, but I take this as very good news on the virus front. The important point here is that if you have high antibody readings (separate from Igm, which mine has always been low), you should ask your doctor for an EBV viral load test. I hope everyone is otherwise doing well.
