Thank you, what a wealth of information. Even my Integrative Health team has never mentioned any of this to me. If nothing else you have given me hope for a better existence.
No I haven't but I can't get to the bottom of what is happening to my legs, feet, burning and that all started after Shingrix Shot, which also can be EBV. I have appointments with a orthopedic dr., a neurologist again, a allergist, and also had vascular testing done, so if nothing pans out I'll be asking for the EBV test.
The EBV blood tests are complex and the right panel has to be ordered by a Dr well versed in understanding the results. A full EBV panel can differentiate between Acute EBV (current mono infection), past infectious and chronic or reactivated EBV. The panel must include early antigen antibodies to pick up chronic infection. Some panels do not include that. There’s a lot of misinterpreted EBV results, so your dr must know how to interpret correctly. (+ IGG =past infection + IGM= acute infection + EA =chronic infection). Hope that helps you.
I am a little confused as a few months ago I had blood tests done and asked to include Epstein Barr Virus.
The nurse practitioner read the results and stated that I had at one time had Epstein Barr and a pretty severe
case also.
Recently, I had blood tests performed by my family doctor and asked for the Epstein Barr virus and the HPV virus along with Type 2 Diabetes and Long Haul Covid. The blood tests were sent to Lapcorp..
All test results came back negative with no DNA antibodies to anything.
I'm just confused how at one time I can test positive for Epstein Barr antibodies and then test negative for the same virus. Just wondering??? I guess I just needed to blame my health issues on the Epstein Barr Virus being reactivated. Now I guess I'm just a "weeny whiner"

2 ReactionsYou’re not. You know your body. Maybe ask to be tested again? If you’re up for that.
