neurological symptoms? what are some of yours??

[galaxywomun1]

Hi!  I have been diagnosed with chronic epstein barr and have numerous neurological symptoms as well.  fatigue, pain, tingling in hands and feet, depression, confusion, tingling in hands and feet, muscle pain, dizziness, etc.  
what are some of your symptoms?  sometimes it helps knowing you are not the only one...

i recently had an mri showing one tiny lesion on my spine.  i have to wait six months for another mri to rule out possible ms.  i hear epstein barr is a precursor (along with other risks) to ms.  any info on that as well??

Hello,

I have a ton of neurological symptoms and I too have EBV. My neurologist is now saying that it is CFS. Some of my symptoms include dizziness, migraines, tingling, numbness, and ringining in the ear. From what I understand, this is not uncommon with Chronic Epstein Barr Syndrome.

Ya, it's sounds to me more like CFS..It can happen to a lot of people after getting mono (happened to me), and goes away with time..Sometimes it can take a year or so to get back to your normal self.
As far as MS, there are tests for that, and I hope your Doc would have given you reassurance about that or at least ruled that out for you.

i have had the pain and fatigue etc. for 6+ months....i have had other symptoms for years.  for example, i was trying to figure out my dizzy spells years ago and then i got pregnant and they went away (which i hear is also indicative of ms.)

with the chronic mono--my mono test came back postitive and by the lab they could see i had it for 5 months.  so as of right now, i am not sure if i am still in the active mono stage...  she did say i prob had cfs (chronic fatigue syndrome).
