Treatment for chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)

I have acute chronic EBV and during testing it was found that I have high IGG levels of Cytomegalovirus but IGM levels were normal. Have not been back to the doctor yet. Is this normal to go along with EBV? All I know is it is another herpes virus. So tired, depressed and confused.

Hi, @chickie001 - I've moved your message to the discussion called "Treatment for Chronic Epstein Barr," in which you've participated previously, so you can be amongst the members talking about EBV and let them know about your current situation and question.

I'm hoping members like @mrmie @lioness @sharyld @gjul16 @anshann44 @jbri will return with some thoughts regarding the high IGG levels of cytomegalovirus but normal IGM levels found in your testing.

So, at this juncture, @chickie001, have you seen your lab results online but not yet had your doctor's interpretation of the results? What is depressing you the most at this point?

Hi @chickie001 From what I have learned, it is not uncommon to have other infections along with EBV. When the immune system is down (for whatever reason), sleeping giants can awaken. I've chatted with you before and gave some resources, so I won't go into that. I know it can be overwhelming trying to learn about this stuff while feeling so terrible. Please hang in there!
