Had new infection of EBV. Now have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Started aquatic therapy to get some strength back. Learning to live with this. It's all new to me. Good luck to all of you with a chronic illness.

I am 61 and have had Chronic Epstein Barr Virus for 7 years. I do go through long periods of time where I feel fine so try to keep positive. How long have you had your symptoms and since people experience many different symptoms... What are your main ones causing you to not be able to work?

Just diagnosed with reactivated EBV, quite frankly, I’m terrified. I’ve missed a lot of work since April, finally diagnosed June 1st but it seems to be irritating my boss even though I have Oregon Medical Leave Act (no money, just protection for my job which pays nothing when I’m home sick) and full support from my PCP. I’m 59, single and disability would pay $798 a month. I cannot envision a future that works. I’m thankful to find this forum, all advice welcomed!
