I had reactivated EBV since 1 week did any one experience shaky body or loss of appetite? I'm really worried.

    Hi lord20186. Sorry to hear that.

    I am 16 months into my mono illness, and perhaps have some degrees of long covid on top of that (I first contracted Covid 4 months into mono and then 6 months after that a new infection/relapse, I am not sure)

    Currently I have the same feeling of shakiness, but it feels more like cold-sensitivity, shivering, goosebumps. I am not sure if these are symptoms of my mono that relapse after a few days of physiscal activity, or long covid (because they share similarities, even some experts hypothesise that long covid is caused by EBV reactivation)

    About less appetide, I am not sure, because I have limited physical activity, and thus less appetite compared to when I was healthy and active.

    Have you recently had Covid-like symptoms?

    How long ago you first contracted mono?
