Hello - I'm a newbie and have a couple of questions. In July of last year, my ALT levels (for liver) were sky high and my doctor assumed it was either alcohol related / fatty liver disease. I wasn't a big drinker, but cut that out and I immediately started eating better (following the Mediterranean diet) but it didn't seem to make any difference. I was sent to a liver doc who did the fibroscan and he thought I needed further testing, so sent me for a biopsy, which came back with better than expected results. HOWEVER - it appears that in August of last year, I was diagnosed with EBV (according to bloodwork), which I didn't know about. Liver doc figures it's related to what's going on with my liver (swollen) and that I need to keep on with the healthy eating, etc. and doesn't need to see me again for 6 months (yay). My question is - I have NO recollection of ever having had mono or anything like that as a kid or as an adult, so I was very surprised when the tests came back positive. I find the research I've done to be very confusing and so I guess I'm wondering if I'm one of those lucky people who will have to be monitored for life for EBV? I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 10 years ago, and now I'm wondering if it's not that and actually a side effect of EBV? Sorry this is so long - thanks for taking the time to read it 🙂
