I'm over 4 months into my supposed first bout with mono (blood tests initially showed that I didn't have IGG antibodies), and I think I'm having a symptom flare-up. Sore throat, ear ache, swollen glands, and the fatigue never really did go away. Is it possible to have flare-ups like this and NOT have it be CAEBV, or am I doomed?

i just had what i thought was a flare up, those same mono like symptoms. i had mono one year ago. i ran to the dr and had blood checked bc i too feared a flare up or worse. blood was normal, turns out i was just fighting a regular cold/virus

Did your anxiety that was set on by mono ever go away? I have just read through all your posts about the anxiety you had while fighting mono and I relate to all the same symptoms. I'm tired of not feeling like myself even though I try my hardest and it's been about a month since I was diagnosed.

i developed anxiety 12 years ago when i got epstein Barr ... i wasnt tested for mono but dont think i had it as i was not fatigued at all ... it was just all mental i developed agoraphobia .
i did better 2 years later but never really overcame the anxiety.
now i have it again with mono and anxiety has been bad.
