Epstein Barr Virus baby!!! not cool

I'm always fatigued thanks to the EBV. Could EBV lead up to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Alright I will definitely look into it. Understand that ever since this started, I lost plenty of strength and energy and the acne in my body increased. My skin is more sensitive now, so I'm hoping everything will improve!

Yes, apparently my sophmore year of HS i caught mono (EBV) like most American high school students. The virus then laid dormant for  a  few years until my immune system took a hit and it reactivated. tired all the time. My doc put me on Valtrex to fight the EBV, and i have been taking it rfor a week and my lymph nodes are shrunken and i have waay more energy than i remember having in a long long time. try Valtrex, if u have insurance. with out it, it costs more than $500.

Yes. You might want to consider reading my response (which includes a link to recent research on fatigue and mono) to lazylace (I believe that was his nic).
