I was diagnosed with ebv 5 years ago. For 8 months I was pretty much bed and house bound. i then started feeling better and could function. Throughout the last five years I've had good weeks and bad weeks but learned to live with it. Till about 6months ago I gradually started feeling worse. A month ago i decided to see a new Dr and she did a ton of labs. 5 yrs later my ebv test came back a 750. My testosterone was also low a d my b12 so she suggested trt and b12 shots. I've had two rounds and feel worse than before. has anyone had anything like this? FYI I'm a 35 yr old male
