Southaven, MS

Anyone else suffer with this? I'm seeing a neuro on the 29th but my GP said my extreme fatigue could be exaggerated by my EPV she found in my blood.

Members connected over the potential link between Epstein-Barr Virus and fibromyalgia, with several sharing that they tested positive for EBV and wondering if it might explain their chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia symptoms. Many members expressed belief in a connection between the two conditions, while one noted that EBV can reactivate during times of stress or exhaustion. Practical support included recommendations for energy-boosting multivitamins like One A Day Energy Support and reminders to be patient with yourself on bad days.

Hi I have done a lot of research and found that many think Fibro is caused by the Epstein Barr Virus...what is EPV?

So I had mono 2 years ago, apparently it is now chronic active EBV. Anyone here got stuck with chronic mono? What did you do besides rest and hydrate? MD has no treatment plan.

I believe she meant to type EBV. Which I tested positive myself. So my fibro could be from having EBV?
