    Hi Rosanna,

    Yes, I have experienced the symptoms you described. I have had sharp shooting pains in my temples occasionally, as well as itchy skin in various places, including my scalp and neck.

    I have never had such a bizarre and troubling range of symptoms before I contracted EBV. It's been a roller coaster ride, and not a fun one. sad 

    Hang in there.

    Hey Rosanna,

    I remember getting itchy quite a bit, I think that's a sign of the nervous system just in overdrive trying to cope with the stress of the whole situation and what your body is going through - it's a good sign too and it's a sign of healing I believe. I remember having weird kind of feelings in my head at different stages too, I do think this is normal for the virus and it certainly will subside without any doubt - just hoping it settles down soon for you as I know you've been through such a hard time.

    Thinking of you and remember you will get through and will get better - trusting God with your health and recovery today - hang in there Rosanna.
