EBV Nerve Damage

I have posted last may with your forum--Without going again into all the testing and Docs I have seen. I have one question can a POSSIBLE bout with EBV leave you with permanant nerve damage?? and lead to the Trash can Dx of C.F.S. when the Medical Field can/wont find anything else??

Yes, it can, or it could get worse if left untreated.  Often chronic infections cycle, and some patients experience cycles of reduced symptoms along with cycles of increased symptoms.  The increased severity of symptoms seemed to track with other problems, such as stress, trauma, etc. that can suppress the immune system.

It is my opinion that it is more likely to be other co-infections that do the damage.  A very large segment of the population has EBV with no apparent symptoms.  However, with the appropriate viral and bacterial co-infections this situation could cause CFS.
