High antibodies?: Addiitonal tests are merited in your cases such as a serum protein electrophoresis (spep)- in cwertain illnesses, your body can be producing alot of antibodies while making you tired at the same time. Albumin levels that are elevated needs addiitonal information - see your doctor and clarify this issue.

Family practice. : I don't think your fatigue is related to your protein level. I don't know what other tests were done. Check for anemia and thyroid dysfunction . Virus infections can cause chronic fatigue syndrome. See your dr again if persists.
