Thanks so much for your candor. Yes, for a long time this has been an issue. I'm an avid gardener, and that is my primary exercise...15-25k steps over a weekend. In the past two years I have figured out that for every one day (8-12 hours) heavy gardening, it takes three days to recover, sometimes even missing work. I am very, very sensitive to heat, and the longer this goes on, the less time I can do my regular activity without near collapse. The strategy of just "driving to the finish" just doesn't work anymore.
One thing I am starting g to wonder is whether I am referring to the correct "high number" in the EBV tests. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reach my doctor to clarify. I also have some abnormal liver and kidney numbers from the same draw as my recent EBV.
When you first started this process did you see a rheumatologist?
I am thinking that self-care may start with asking my physician for a referral to a rheumatologist. I've had these symptoms for such a long time, and it was only learning my EBV antibodies are so high (750) that made me start to see that maybe these symptoms have a cause and are not just me whining.
Thank you.
