@cjts1967 Welcome! So sorry you are dealing with such a debilitating illness. I'd be happy to answer some of your questions, although I am not a doctor. You do not have to have had mono to have EBV in your body. Well over 90% of people have been exposed to the virus by the time they are adults. Most may have just had minor symptoms. Mono (more severe form) is usually seen in teens and young adults. I'm curious as to what was actually "positive." There are different antibodies to EBV. IgM detects current infection/reactivation. IgG detects past infection although if extremely elevated along with an elevated early antigen, it can reflect a current infection. Since most adults have been exposed to the virus, most have elevated IgG antibodies. When I relapse, my IgM is positive along with all the other antibodies being out the roof. I also have a fatty liver found accidentally on a CT scan. EBV can affect the liver. I'm assuming that's why in my case. I'm not a drinker, or overweight, and I have eaten a fairly good diet as an adult. My liver enzymes have always been normal, unlike your case. So it is a good idea to continue to monitor your liver function. As far as fibro being linked to EBV -- that most definitely can be the case! Fibromyalgia is actually a collection of symptoms. It is only a diagnosis in the fact that there is an ICD10 code for it for billing purposes. The root cause can be different in everyone, but most always includes some kind of stress (infection, emotional, physical, surgery, environmental toxins, relationship stress, job stress). That can affect the immune system, sleep patterns, adrenal glands, and the list goes on. Most conventional doctors do not dig deep enough to find the root cause and treat it.
