Need Help!

My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with mono (EBV) last May and at the time had severe symptoms, including terrible rash and extremely swollen spleen.  She literally had no energy and slept as much as possible.  This lasted for around 3-4 months and then symptoms improved.  Then in November, she had a reactivation with many of the same symptoms, but no rash.  After a couple of months, symptoms improved again.  Now, she is having the same symptoms, plus occasional sore throat, head ache, joint pain.  The doctor just ran numerous tests again and ruled out numerous things, including thyroid issues, rheumatology issues, etc.; however her tests results on the EBV came back as the following:
EBV AB VCA, IGM 39.3
EBV Early Antigen Ab, IgG 11.1
EBV Ab VCA, IgG 211.0
EBV Nuclear Antigen Ab, IgG 361
I received these tests results through email on an app called MyChart, so I have not heard back from the doctor.  Can someone please interpret these and let me know if it looks like a reactivation, AGAIN!  I am thinking it does.  If it is, can anyone give insight on why this keeps happening.  Other than this mono, my daughter is an extremely healthy, and energetic now 17 year old.  The doctor did mention if she does have another reactivation he is going to send her to an infectious disease doctor to see what can be done.  Has anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks for any information!!

Hi,
Hope you're doing better.  I suffered for 6 years with mono which include spleen pain, head aches, sore throat, CFS, even my kidneys and heart problems and more.  On Jan 1, 2016 I decided to do something new and it worked!  It took a couple of weeks for my kidney function  moved from 50% to 85% and my mono symptoms were gone.
I completely change my diet...I starting eating and juicing raw fruits and vegetables.  THE KEY INGREDIENTS FOR THESE JUICES ARE ORGANIC LEMONS, TURMERIC and GINGER!  CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR FIRST TO SEE IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO THESE FRUIT AND ROOTS.
I got one of those bullet juicers and used a combination of ORGANIC:
    1) KALE, SPINACH, BANANA, GRAPES, KIWI AND OBVIOUSLY LEMON, TURMERIC AND GINGER.
     2) WATER MELLON, GRAPES, KIWI, LEMON, TURMERIC and GINGER.
I buy this organic foods at Whole foods and blend them and drink them three time a day...after a week my sore throat for SIX years was gone and also my SPLEEN PAIN.  ALL THE OTHER SYMPTOMS WERE GONE AS WELL.
LEMON is the Number One Alkaline food and TURMERIC and GINGER have many healing properties..,research them.  YOU HAVE TO CUT OUT THE PROCESSED GARBAGE (SO CALLED FOOD) AT THE SUPERMARKET...AND IF YOU WANT TO CONSUME ANIMAL PRODUCTS I WOULD ONLY DO WILD FISH...THE CHICKEN AND BEEF ARE NOT GOING TO AID YOUR BODY RECOVERY...IT WILL HINDER IT.
I HAVE BEEN THROUGH HELL WITH THIS VIRUS MONO (EPSTEIN BARR)...THERE WAS A TIME I FELT I COULD NOT GO ON.  I HAD TO SEARCH FOR ANSWERS MY SELF BECAUSE THE DOCTORS DID NOT HAVE ANY.  THEN AFTER RESEARCH I LEARN THE BODY TRIES TO HEAL ITSELF FROM VIRUSES, BACTERIA and OTHER ILLNESS...YOU HAVE TO FIND NATURAL FOODS (FRUITS, VEGETABLES, ROOTS) THAT WILL AID THE BODY IN THIS TASK.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU START AND PROGRESS.  YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND A WHOLE LOT TO GAIN.

I am so sorry to hear about your daughters lab results! I have been living with chronic ebv for over 3 years now, and each time it has been reactivated my doctors says it may be as a result of low vitamin D. Each time my ebv is reactivated, the doctor prescribes some vitamin D and I feel better, only to have a reactivation again a few months later. It is a terrible cycle, but chances are I will have this kind of illness my entire life.  

I would suggest putting your daughter on a Vitamin D supplement and see what happens. She wont be cured, but it should make her life a little easier.
