ebv is horrible

let me tell u people ive had it for a year now. the symptoms you read about is only a quarter of it. my symptoms include white tonge, painful swollen lymph nodes , skin problems , testical pain , burning in buttocs, leg pain , lower back pain, hot flashes, mouth ulcers, dhiarrehia, red skin areas , all kinds of numbness and tingling in the body including the genital area. also eye

Ebv resembles all kinds of cancers and stds. i was brushed off and ignored by docs because they did no the seriousness of this virous and how long it actually affects you. i found it takes up to 2 years to go away after the age of 25 im 29 years old. I was treated very poorley at ers and doctors offices. There first assumption is aids , cancer or an std. when the docs tell you it goes away in 2 months its bull thats only  the beggining. maintain a good diet and multi vitamins everyday.

Does anyone know what happened to these guys, HappyGuy12, awnaw, ginak, jason?
I have many of the same symptoms after being diagnosed with acute infectious mono around 2.5 months ago.
Cant shake the feeling that its something else - although have tested negative for HIV several times upto 13 weeks post a potential low risk exposure, using both DUO tests and antibody tests.
I want to avoid getting trapped in a cycle like happyguy - "i took like 52 hiv test thats how messed up in the head i was".
Can these symptoms like chronic dry mouth, white tongue, persistent loose stools, peripheral neuropathy and now flaky skin problems ( sebhorreic dermatitis?) be EBV?

try green tea ,st johns wort ,and coconut oil these are well known antiviral ,atibacterial,and antifungal. also licorice root and ginger root will help with stomach issues.kefir milk is made from kefir grains non dairy but will wipe out candida in the stomach and intestines may also help with thrush.this may help many of the people on this page.they have helped me with many of my symptoms allowing me to sleep at night and feel better than death.they actually slow down viral infections.

i got diagnosed with ebv for the first time about 6 weeks ago, showed igM antibodies (suggesting acute infection) and later iGg antibodies. Had all the classic symptoms to start - lymphadenopathy, white exudate on tonsils, sore throat, swollen eyelids, fever, night sweats, headaches - but now, after these have all disappeared, i have been left  with some strange symptoms:
1. White tongue, dry mouth - particularly dry when i wake up in the morning. the white covering cannot be brushed off with a tongue cleaner. otherwise no pain or sores in my mouth, so i dont think its thrush/candida, but i could be wrong?
2. Gastro problems - i eat well, but every morning have loose stools where it all seems to come out in one go (is this chronic diarrhea?). Then my stomach has gas /wind for the rest of the day. this is not normal for me.

These 2 troubling symptoms have been going on for over 3 weeks, has anyone else had them with EBV? could it be a complication of EBV?
