I'm 65 and had mono as a freshman in high school. I have never really felt great and would always worry if I could make it thru trips and activities. Never shared these feelings with anyone and constantly pushed myself. The last 20 years I have not felt well. My gallbladder and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever came along and I do not remember feeling really good after these. I asked my doc now that my gall bladder was out when would I feel better and was told I am better because the gallbladder is gone. 20 years later after finding out I am highly intolerant to gluten my stomach problems are healing. I still have more periods of feeling bad than good and lately my joints hurt like crazy. I pray for healing. Last year I thought I was dying and changed to a integrative medical office and have come a long way.

Hi just read your post I’m in the same age group. Have had mono as a teenager and just diagnosed with EBV .
I had my gallbladder out two years ago also being told it was my problem felt better for a few months then went down hill again.
Anyway just saw an infectious disease doctor
In NYC that is supposed to treat EBV and he told me the same thing they can do nothing for EBV. He told me I should stop antivirals that my regular Md gave me and treat the symptoms as they come.
Paid out of pocket to hear not much of anything new. He did take a lot of blood tests so waiting to see.
I work out everyday for my joints gently not like I used to because of fatigue.
Research is being done but not quickly enough.
I will look into an integrative medical group. Your information helped me thank you.
