@tmccarthy2019 Here is just a bit of what I can recommend. Unfortunately you need to read through this web site and gleen what you can from previous comments. It's time consuming but worth the time. No one person can give answers. So to answer one quick last question above... I think Chronic Epstein Barr Virus, and Chronically Active Epstein Barr Virus are the same. Next it was important that you mentioned that you had mono before. Because first time mono does not mean that you have to worry about it becoming a chronically active virus. Next, continually keep in mind that this is a virus. When ever you get confused... Look for treatments that are specifically for a virus. Next, don't worry about being infectious. Usually you are only infectious the first time you have mono. Chronic EB Virus is not infectious! Next, find a good Naturopath. No other type of doctor knows anything about CAEBV. Do not go to infectious disease docs. They will not help you. What I have found to help the swollen lymph glands and fatigue are daily:
500mg L-LYSINE or more for the virus
Good quality Vitamin B-12 and B-6 for energy
Vitamin C
Alpha Lipoic Acid for cell renewal
Some people have found luck with Monolauren
A prescription med of Acyclovir has helped many.
I do hope this information assists you. Best to you.

Thank you so much. I’ve started the lysine and monolaurin. I see immunology soon but I have a feeling it will be a waste of time. Hopefully she’ll at least give me the antivirals, my primary will not. Thanks again
