Hi PaulMD would you be willing to give this same info to member cynthiagreen,,,,she thinks she has Fibromyalgia because she is sick all the time,,but has had EBV and pneumonia and other viruses back to back.  It was explained that her immunity is probably lowered and thats why she is sick. Thank you so much

Hi there.

Any tax on the immune system can indeed cause some flare ups or increased activity of chronic viral infections such as EBV.  The occurrence of staph infection may have well caused some exhaustion in your immune status.  It is best that you have your titers checked and inform your doctor about your symptoms.

Regards.
