CFS ????

Ok I am a 53 yr old man...BMI is perfect..5'8" tall weigh 140

I don't see how you could have a diagnosis of chronic fatigue when you don't have the most obvious symptom - fatigue. You say you have "lots of energy and feel fine."

Hi cvc, Welcome to our little corner of the pond. From what I understand, I agree with princessa about why they would diagnose you with CFS when you had no symptoms except the Mono titters. Of course 25 years ago they new even less about CFS than they do now so it was probably just the catch-all diagnosis of the day, not that things have changed all that much. As far the WB count, I would say yes definitely related to the prostate issue. Have they said why your Prostate is enlarged?, I know that can be a sign of issues way worse than mono or CFS. My advice, as a non-doctor is to concentrate on treating your prostate issue and not to worry about a 25yr. old diagnosis. Hopefully you won't need this part of the Forum again, but if you do, were here.
