Hi, just a question, are you sure you don't have any symptoms? I'm asking because you said you were desperate and fed up, and have been tested & diagnosed with FMS, Hypothyroid, etc. All these things can mimic symp's of EBV or even overlap with it. I have the same diagnoses' as you do, FMS, hypoth., migraines, and a few other things, I had EBV with Mono many years ago, and my symptoms then were very much like my symptoms now. I don't understand blood tests, but I thought I'd tell you my own personal experience with EBV. Also, just a thought, sometimes we experience "symptoms" and not even realize its from an illness, for example, short term memory problems, a lot of people don't know that their's could be illness related, as I didn't at first.
EBV can be positive during active illness & yrs later show pos.
meaning it's something you had by mono or slight from oral
transmission 'hence kissing disease'. Can also get it as a
positive if you've ever had a cold sore. EBV is in herpes 1
category. Your elevated numbers are really too hard to explain
by typing. Basically, it is just showing up as once you had
it & virus is still dormant but will be showing up because of
some type of 'insufficient cellular immune deficiency'. By
cellular I mean something like body cells aren't right. In your
case, probably inflamm. of migraines or your thyroid condition.
Allergies will also do this. It's like saying you carry herpes
virus only the kind that will go active & repeat a cold sore
normally in the same spot 10 yrs. ago. If they find a specific
autoimmune disorder they're considering like lupus/sjorgen's/etc
then EBV can be used to identify a B or T cell structure or
attachtment to help dx. Thyroid is most likely the reason here.
