Treatment for chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
Infectious Diseases | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (615)Comment receiving replies
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.

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.

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!
