    Hi Kay,

    I had chills, achy feeling, weight loss, exhaustion, anxiety, loss of appetite ect. EBV is a very powerful virus and lasts for awhile. Rest and pacing of activity helps.

      And how about lower back pain when you arch your back? Could that be from EBV too? That symptom and weight loss made me really think i had something like colon cancer but did a few tests everything came normal but EBV. And my weight was gradually reducing before any loss of appetite if i remember correctly.

      I tend to have lower back pain anyway, so it would be hard to say, the body aches are defiantly worse with EBV.
