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.

Hello Happy,

I have not had any reddening of the skin. Most of my symptoms are all neurological, which to me is even more scarier! I really feel hopeless at this point!

dry mouth

I read somewhere that a dry mouth is common in people who have chronic viral infections.

I hope everyone here will check out the Health Pages (located to the right of your screen under "discussions"). There is a lot of information on EBV. Also, in MedHelp's fibro/CFS forum, we have a ton of information there as well... including links to the fibro/CFS experts (video presentations), treatments and the latest research on these conditions.

July 4th 2006 is now 3 years since my headaches began which I think are part of this nightmare and about 2 years with real pain/symptoms.  Never could have imagined I could be this way for so long.

I've been taking biaxin for couple of weeks, prior that my pain level had increased further, which is what helped me to start taking the abx. No improvement yet, but I am hoping.  Thanks for the well wishes and same to you/all.
