Has Anyone Here Ever Tested Positive For Epstein Barr Virus?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Recently I tested "reactive" for Epstein Barr Virus which supposedly means that I had the virus previously and it has been reactivated. My GP thinks it is irrelevant but I would think it could definitely contribute to chronic fatigue and mucle pain. Has anyone here been tested for this?

@A MyFibroTeam Member Did your Dr. acknowledge that EBV causes fatigue even when you don't have mono?

Epstein Barr virus is same as mono. It's a herpes virus.

"Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpesvirus hiding in a latent form in memory B cells in the majority of the world population. Although, primary EBV infection is asymptomatic or causes a self-limiting disease, infectious mononucleosis, the virus is associated with a wide variety of neoplasms developing in immunosuppressed or immunodeficient individuals, but also in patients with an apparently intact immune system."

The following Article mentions some supplements to take to try rid the virus from your body. I'm not sure how effective they are but I'm trying some of them
