I had stage 5 EBV at 17 (1969) (called mono back then) and hospitalized for months in a neurological hospital where I was in a ward for the brain damaged or dieing. Could not walk, talk or eat. Convulsed constantly and vomited all the time. They tapped my medula and then could not get rid of the head-ache for 3-months. Over time I regained my strength, could eat small bites and walked again, but had to regain memory and speech. 1-1/2 years of craziness.

Skip ahead to when I was 55 years and I came down with it again. This time had a huge geographic tongue, swollen glands and slept endlessly...it finally went away after I went green for a month and worked out for 2 hours a day to sweat it out of me, then I would colapse.

About 2-years ago, I am now 71, I got the Pfizer/Moderna vaccine. I was perfectly healthy, happy and working and worked out regularily. The first was ok, I just slept a lot, then I had to go 3-weeks later for the #2 shot. I was fine sitting for the 15 minutes but when I left the facility I was staggering like I was drunk. I laid in my car for an hour and it passed enough allowing me to drive home. I went to sleep and slept for 3-days, only to get up to use the bathroom.

My body was so weak and lifting my legs to walk was impossible. I fell on the way to the bathroom on to the tile floor and cracked my head open. Laid in so much blood I could not stand, had 7 stitches and a black and blue face. 3-months later I lost me balance and fell to the floor and broke my back. It was my Summer from Hell.

Going forward I asked the doctor to check for EBV since I was still so weak. Bingo! 7-1-21 my EBV EA lgG 138, 1-year later 79.6; EBV VCA lgG 7-1-21 170 and 1 -year later 136; EBV Nuclear Antigen IGG on 7-1-21 50.9 and 1-year later 51.6.

I still find my legs go limp and my arms go weak, I have no stamina and need to lay down all the time. 2-hours or so after I wake up I am so weak I have to lay back down and go to sleep. My physical therapist works with me weekly and electrical stimulation is a joy to have.

My reason for writing is to let you know you are not alone. the Neurologist said many who have had the Covid shot have gone through the reharvesting of the EVB virus and have been weakened like me. They just tell me to keep doing what I am doing and rest. Good Luck to you and know you are not alone.
