Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia

I have had a low white blood cell count for a couple of years. I have had every test done including a bone marrow biopsy. Cancer has been ruled out. I do have chronic active EBV and chronic fatigue. Does anyone know if people with CFS often have low wbc counts? Carisa

i think ive heard that some people with cfs have low natural killer cells, but im not sure about white blood cells. I think ive heard that some have been up and some have been down.

I had high levels of EBV virus, but had normal levels of white blood cells.
I had all kind of tests from an immunologist, but everything came back pretty much normal.

Just wondering how high your EBV levels were and what they are like now? Mine are in the 3,300 range. Carisa

i cant remember how high the levels were. Its was about 7 years ago, but i dont think that they were extremely high. I was kind of hoping he would give me an anti viral to try, but he didnt wat to. What did your doc recommend you do?
Another doctor told be the herb cat's claw/samento was a good anti vira, i tried it but it didnt do anythig for me. But maybe an anti viral wouldnt help me anyways
