What to do for EBV Reactivation?

I also had EBV reactivation. I got a ton of blood work done in 2022 to try and figure out what the hell was wrong with me. I have LC as well and have had it for almost 4 years. I do not ever recall having mono as a kid or ever, but if EBV was reactivated, I was exposed to that virus at some point in my life. I do not think there is any medication for EBV. I just had another round of blood work done. Most of it was good with the exception on my Vitamin b12 which was extremely high, calcium was high and some of regular panel that measures neutrophils, WBC and RBC were different than last year. Strangely, when I had blood work the last two times, my folate was off the charts. B12 and Folate were in tandem, so that has changed. I still wake up with malaise, fatigue, tinnitus...I have joint pain and brain fog...but the fatigue and malaise is the worst. There were no markers for arthritis, although 2 years ago there were. This is a crazy virus. I am tired of it. It is isolating, but having said that, I am grateful as it can and has been worse. I am so hopeful that it will go away. Hang in there and thank you for sharing on here. This has been a place that has helped me over the last several years to not feel as alone.

That’s rights it helps to read about the other stories of you all who are suffering under this really crazy virus which works and changes constantly in the body and reduces live and isolates .
In my case I also did a lot of blood analyses and it seems the herpes zoster virus was activated by Covid .
Strangely the shingles wa directly located over the belly - where my main post Covid problems lays: inactive peristaltic of the column - massive consolations- and a lot of pains with comes with it…
Also brain fog and light malaise.
The HDL and LDL ( coleresterole marker ) are very high- although I are since years on a diet with reduced colesterole etc. and for digestive reasons.
We definitely need more research in the medical world for post COVID and doctors who can admid that they don’t know what to do and are interested to help COVID patients by passing and collecting information and so show the suffering and amount of people who are out there in the world - because it’s a global problem!-to the poliiticians and the healthy public !!!

@diverdown1 Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. I am sorry to hear you have had EBV reactivation, and it stinks that their isn't a treatment for it (but that helps me know to just take care of myself and not waste time pushing for EBV testing). My plan right now while EBV symptoms are flared up are to rest more, hydrate extra, and take things that help liver and detox like dandelion and chicory.
