It’s funny you say that because yes, I have been tested for EBV twice. My boyfriend tested positive a few months back so I asked to be tested and it was negative. Shows that I’ve had it but no new infection. My histamine is still off the charts and it always feel like I’m fighting off a really bad cold. When I’m not feeling well I take enough antihistamines that should knock out a small village but I still cannot sleep. Terrible!!

Mine showed that I had it but nothing new also. I take antihistamines but reluctant to sometimes because I start to get bad leg cramps at night and wake up with headache. I can sense it is something in the environment that is triggering the bad flares and stressful situations make it worse. My pain management doctor thinks the stress from my neck surgery triggered an autoimmune response that was dormant before. I wonder if it was to do with any type of cells that were in the donor cadaver bone for my neck surgery. I'm just trying to get answers. Three years and no real answers just tests.

When you have high histamines and trouble with being very sensitive to things, this can be a symptoms of autoimmune activity because your body is attacking, over reacting to things that aren't deadly. My environmental allergies got worse as I got older and I ended up getting a weekly immunotherapy shots. It puts a small dose of what you're allergic to in your body so your body can not react to it as bad, basically. It does help but I'm still taking antihistamines and sprays. Craziness
