Interesting. Anyone else show an Epstein Barr virus?
My blood tests were always perfect, but when the crippling flare-up came out of nowhere, I had elevated elvated CRP (not seds) and evidence of an Epstein Barr virus. They told me I had mono in my life. Pretty sure it was last November, 3 months before the PMR shoed up.
Can anyone else relate?

It's very common. I think 90% plus of the population have had some EBV and many without any symptoms.

Yes!
I believe Epstein Barr, had a huge influence on getting PMR, also long Covid before that.
