no one suggested DNA study. will ask my primary care physician. haven't seen articles about this. in fact, most of
the information i receive offers no ideas for studies or treatments. the high epstein barr titer problem has been
noted since i developed ME/CFS. originally, doctors said if you pulled people off the street, a high percent would
have this elevated titer since most people have had mono and most don't know it. it does seem odd that the titer
doesn't level off and that certain people develop ME/CFS while others don't. no one has provided answer. the other question is what would physician do with the DNA information? not sure. when you say you're not ready
to limit your activity level, you then have to pay the price. it's called post-exertional malaise. there's no way to avoid this that i know. if you're not getting pem, that you don't really have a major problem and that's super.
if you do have pem, then you have to learn how much wear and tear you body can take. in passing, another test
to have is a herpes test. herpes can be treated if you don't have kidney disease. this treatment might make you feel better. most physicians don't test for this. however, some ME/CFS specialists do. all food for thought. again, do
hope you improve. always good to communicate with someone in similar boat.
