Eyes and Shakes is this normal?

Hi everyone, I've been sick from Mono since about May, and I have been getting better, however, I really can't seem to shake the vision problems I am experiencing. I see so many floaters and my eyes just feel off. I am also decently sensitive to lights and it makes my vision all wonky after staring in light. I also always seem to have internal shakiness pretty much all the time, but especially after drinking. After I drink I will be up all night shaking and anxious. I am a college student, and am really struggling to manage this illness while still maintaining a fun college life. On top of all of this I occasionally get really bad neck and shoulder pain that radiates down my back and up my head. This is also sometimes followed by bad headaches around my temples and my forehead. This is just really frustrating because I just want to live my normal life. I am so terrified that I have some sort of cancer or something because there is no way this could possibly all been caused by the mono. I have been to the doctor so many times, and have gotten a bunch of blood work done 3 times throughout the summer, and all that is coming back is EBV. Could this all really be related to ebv? If so can I be doing anything about it because it is a very difficult way to live life. I have had a bunch of other symptoms throughout the past few months like brain fog and joint pain and rashes and dizziness etc. but right now these seem to be the problems I can't get rid of. I can also deal with the achiness but the eyesight problems are really throwing me for a loop and it is very debilitating. I guess I am just looking for advice or peace of mind, but has anyone experienced anything quite like this?

Hi GG,
I had floaters as well as a lot of your other symptoms, it is really only time that takes care of it. I think everyone here has felt that it must be something more than mono as it is hard to believe that a virus can make you feel so bad for so long, but that is EBV. Try to be as healthy as you can and see an eye doctor just to make sure.

I also got sick mid May and continue to feel the effects of it. Lately mine have been manifesting as headaches but since mono I've had really bad fatigue whenever I get sick for days after as well as heartburn that I've never had until mono. I also get numbness on my right side which I'm getting tested for. It's brutal. Completely healthy before this...
