hi everyone. im 19 (feels like going on 100) female, and used to be in perfect health. until october 2017, when i got mono. ever since i have been suffering from chronic ebstein barr virus (ebv). In may 2018 i was diagnosed with hashimotos. my doctor found thyroid antibioties ( i forget the number), but she sent me home and never put me on any meds. since then, she claims my ebv and thryoid antibodies are both high but stable (not changing). however my gums have been hurting me so bad, and they are puffy. i went to the dentist today and he said my gum issues look thyroid related and wants a new copy of blood work within the next two weeks. anyways my question is, do any of you deal with painful gums? they are so painful it hurts to brush my teeth.
