Take Anxiety Meds!
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi, I am A 45 year old female that was in really good condition and have always exercised and eaten healthy. I was diagnosed with EBV about two months ago. The first couple of weeks after my diagnosis I thought I was dying. I was in and out of the hospital and had never been sicker in my life! This past week or so has been better and I am continuing to get strength and energy back etc.
One thing I wanted to encourage people with is that if you have the severe anxiety/panic disorder that came along with my mono or EBV diagnosis, take anxiety meds. I’m telling you, I put it off for so long, but once I started taking a really low dose it helped me so much focus on my healing rather than being in a fetal position not wanting to go on with life because of how bad I feel/felt!
This by far has been the worst thing I have ever experienced in my life and I am praying that it never returns! My doctor actually thinks that I got reactivated mono after being diagnosed with Covid in early January and I have underlying autoimmune disease and all those things combined have been the worst thing I have ever had to endure in my life!!
I promised myself I would come on here to help people because I know reading stories that were similar to mine helped me so much and still do. I can also talk about my symptoms if that would help anyone!
Blessings!!
