I have Chronic Fatigue/Epstein Barr. I have had mono quite a few times in the past and the Dr. said it usually leads to the other. For the most part I feel pretty good but sometimes the CF really kicks in and the best thing for me to do is just go with it and rest. Several years ago I was on an experimental drug for a year with Smith/Klein Beecham pharmaceutical and it was fantastic. I was taking the real thing, not the placebo. But at the end of the year I was selected to proceed to the next step which was increasing the drug to twice what I was taking daily. It upset my stomach so bad that I just quit. Plus I was on vacation at the time. I heard later that the drug is used in Europe for Alzheimer patients :lol: :lol: :lol: I can't remember the name of the drug. One thing that seems to really help with CF/EB (at least for me) is mega doses of B12.

So glad you're feeling better. It makes such a difference. Hope you had a great holiday.
