Subject: Epstein Barr Virus 1. I was just told by my doctor that I have Epstein-Barr Virus. I been sickly and extremely tired/weak for the last 2 months. He told me there is no cure for the virus and it can be disabling. Q: How long can I expect these symptoms to last? I feel so helpless, I am a very active person... but I can't seem to do anything now. 2. What type of doctor would be best to seek treatment or information? 3. I have 3 year old twin girls - how is this virus transmitted? Am I contagious? Are they at risk for infection? How would the virus manifest itself in toddlers? Please reply ASAP - I need the information but feel so helpless. | |
