ebv is horrible

[happyguy12]

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.

High viral titers (and bacterial) are often seen in chronically ill patients. You may want to consider copying and pasting your question for Prof. Garth Nicolson, an expert on these infections and the role they play in CFS, fibromyalgia and autoimmune diseases. Prof. Nicolson is answering questions in the autoimmune diseases (expert) forum here in MedHelp.

Wow... I can't believe I have finally found others like me. It started about a month ago with tingling hands and feet. Then the tingling spread up the calves and forearms. Now there is aching, stinging and numbness all over my body. About 2 weeks ago my lymph nodes in my neck started swelling and aching. I just went to my neurologist today for the results from an EMG test and massive amounts of blood tests. My EMG showed that I had inflammation in my peripheral nerves. My blood test were negative for heavy metals, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, Lyme and Lupus, but POSITIVE FOR EBV. Has anyone else had a similar story?

EBV, Like many of you have stated doctors  tend to overlook the illiness. Unfortunately,we are living in the age of massive diseases and frankly they do not seem to give a darn about those who have them.They connect EBV with fiboro in women,mono in everyone.I am tired all the time and I have gain weight.The medications that I am on for high blood pressure,high blood sugar,herated disk in my neck and back,carpal tunnel syndrome hands,numbness in my feet,depression dealing with shut off energy notices due to no money waiting for SSA   to approve for my physical ailaments I must play the back and forth dance with them this has been going on for a great while on and off 10 years 3 years and a lawyer.I am tired of asking for help and the church has turn me down for assistance because I do not have a steady income I just want them to pay for this months starting new program $545.00 and 358 a month until pay off and my son and his family is moving back home next week and they are due to shut the power off today and I have been praying to God for help. My Cats have fleas and I must remove them out the house before my grand baby move here with me. I am very tired.Everyone look at me and feels I am healthy and I do not win and complain about my illiness.Some folk think we are lying about our illiness.We are avoiding to work.But we are not i could have contracted it in 2005 I had to have 9 blood transfusions I was the "woman with the issue of blood of 2005 I bled so much could stop any more.the female doc I had was from a different country and felt that I didnt need help with my husband who was a multi stroke pt,parkensens disease,diabetes,high blood pressure and here I was bleeding to death.they could only issue me help if the doctor wrote that I needed help .She refused. I change doctors.One of the doctors from her country(India,Pakastine eastern ) explain  to me why the female doctor refuse the male doctors did not refuse it was that female They do not hire out side people to take care of their love ones they take care of them themselves. American gov in 2005 wanted that for us but it has been very difficult my husband died Aug 2006. My son has blame me for his death some what I could not care for a total care patient I had my own health challenges to deal with. If you do not take care of your self no one else will.
