Please, everybody, do not ask for medical advice on this group. There is
no way that the guess of people who have never seen you and who are, by
and large, researchers rather than clinicians is going to be even close
to accurate. Go and *see* a doctor.
Secondly, if you are not 100% sure in your diagnosis, don't make
one.
Thirdly, anyone who thinks that EBV is latent in dorsal root ganglia is
probably not making an accurate diagnosis.
