how u know your relapsing

Posted , 10 users are following.

im on month 15 with this virus. i got super sick in october 2017 with a fever and all classic mono symptoms that lasted about a week only. i tested pos for ebv. since then i have been continuously feeling run down. What i believe are my reactivating symptoms are rib pain, random pains, pain under right rib cage, odd knot feeling in stomach, sharp pains in lymph nodes all the way to groin, blurry vision. i just dont get how im experiencing so many reactivations (my blood work shows it too). i was healthy before this. im 19 and always bounced back from things and never get colds, havent thrown up in TEN years. i have been severely stressed for the passed 3 years so maybe it just got to me. how often do you guys experience flare ups and what are your symtpoms? i feel like i do 3 times a month maybe more. but wouldnt that mean im immune compromised? im just scared and thats adding to the stress and thats adding to the reactivations. ugh

    I heard that what you're saying could mean it's a CBV Mononucleosis. A blood test should distinguish between it. If that's the case, reactivation and symptoms may be managed with an antiviral, unlike EBV (specific to treatment of cbv not any random antiviral). Good luck.
