One of the problems with taking the "in your head" route though is that it discourages research into causes. And it doesn't explain why so many people have similar cases while coming from wildly-varying lives.
Sure. In-your-head diseases exist, and they're very real. Placebo effects, for instance, have been very conclusively shown to be extremely powerful - there's no question about the reality (though some still do...). But the odd recurrence of Epstein-Barr is very odd if it's all in your head.
