Has your doctor offered any suggestions for different treatments?

Hi @mariajoyce . I'm sorry you are dealing with EBV. I have dealt with it myself and know it can be frustrating. Some specific supplements for EBV I have tried or heard of others having success with include L-lysine, monolaurin, licorice root (be cautious if elevated blood pressure or low potassium). Some have had success with prescription meds such as Valtrex (valacyclovir) and LDN (low-dose naltrexone). You mentioned having an autoimmune disease as well. Often those can go along with EBV. Actually there are many other maladies that can go along with it. I have issues with my adrenals. My antibodies are not showing an active EBV infection currently but I am still dealing with debilitating fatigue although improving since working with a functional medicine doctor and supporting my adrenals and nutritional deficiencies. You can check out ebvhelp.com. Kasia Kines, PhD provides a wealth of information on EBV. And of course you can browse through other comments on this page. There really is a lot of info out there. Don't give up! You are your best advocate. 🙂
