I know that must be tough. Alot of times it is hard for family member to understand that you just plain don't feel well. Especially when it is mom who is sick. I don't know if you have tried this or not but you might want to try going to a nutritionist or homeopathic doctor. I know it is hard because most insurance companies don't pay for these kinds of doctors. If you can't afford it, there are alot of websites you can research that tell of herbs and vitamins that may be able to help you. I know my husband was seeing a nutritional doctor about a year ago and he was telling us of some herb or vitamin that is helping people with Ebstein-barr and was very excited about it since it seem to be helping his patients with the disease. Hope this helps
