@jgee18 Hi Jenny. It's hard to say if the Valtrex (valacyclovir) is helping since I am doing other things as well. I'm at least hoping that it keeps me from going backwards. It may be more helpful for you since it sounds like you are in an acute phase in which it may be replicating with having those swollen lymph nodes. It may be worth discussing with your MD. Google valtrex and EBV to get some articles to share with your doc if needed. Wishing you speedy improvements!
