I asked to be checked for Epstein Barr when I became too tired to eat and chew (at 240 lbs. that was a first). Sure enough I had reactivated Epstein Barr. Please friend me if you have info about this disorder. I am hoping to come to Mayo MN in October to assess my chronic pancreatitis, possible nonalcoholic cirrhosis, Memory issues and TIA's and possible MVD (usually a difficult to diagnose women's heart issue). I also deal with Type II Diabetes, GERD, IBS, a neck fusion in C4-7in my spine and 2 knees that need replacing. Oh and ruptured disc in back, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder and PTSD. I am open to support and to hear other's issues.

Hi @aesmayo01. That's great that your doctor was willing to check for EBV. Even thoucgh I have active antibodies my former doc pretty much dismissed it and told me to exercise and then put depression in my chart. I used to run half marathons and lift weights so. Believe me, I would exercise if I could!!! Anyway, I would recommend checking out the Mono Project from the University of Minnesota. Also heck out some loses facebook groups for EBV. There are a few of them out there. I wish you all the best. Remember you are your own best advocate!

Ty you very much for the information! I’m so sorry you’re unable to exercise. When I’m feeling good, it’s a lifesaver. I feel better. I’m not sure if you’ve tried it, but I have a massage therapist who does lymph massage using the cupping technique. It truly helps with ridding your body of toxins. I try to go at least twice a month. It’s made a difference and has really helped with inflammation and swelling. I also do detox baths at home with ginger and epsom salt. I hope this helps.

@aesmayo01 I hope you’ll be able to get some answers and helps.

Thank you! I was just thinking that I need a massage.

@mrmie best thing for you.
