Hi!

Thank you so much for your post. I so understand and empathize with all you’re going through.

When I initially experienced fatigue in 2011, I was tested and diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

I have since learned …
1) “ Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. It is an autoimmune disorder involving chronic inflammation of the thyroid. This condition tends to run in families.”

2) “Having another autoimmune disease — such as rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes or lupus — increases your risk of developing Hashimoto's disease.”
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hashimotos-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20351855
3) “high anti-EBNA-1 antibody levels may reflect a deficient control of the EBV infection, increasing the tendency toward autoimmunity.”
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2019.01368/full
4) “Rheumatologists diagnose, treat and manage a broad range of conditions, including … Autoimmune diseases that happen when your immune system attacks healthy tissue.”
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/22335-rheumatologist
I have also discovered “Drbeen Medical Lectures” EBV YouTube’s … which I’m finding very insightful + helpful. Dr Been makes learning about EBV easy + enjoyable.

Thank you for the helpful info. I am unsure which doctor's to even go to these days with my post covid issues. Almost all of them seem like a deer in headlights when you tell them your issues, and even show them your >600 EBV values post covid. I was competitive tennis player 2 hour a night prior to covid in 2021, and now have more muscle pains than ever before, and even lymph issue when trying to even exercise a little more on the tennis court. It is disheartening to know no doctor's seem to know what is going on with all this funding that has been given out. I have read that high EBV post covid and cause ME/Chronic Fatigue, as well as Hodgkins Lymphoma. Kind of worried about this, and wondering can anyone suggest the correct doctor's to see to rule out this stuff? I told my PCP my lymphs in neck hurt, muscle pain, etc. and basically gave me prednisone. I just want to find the correct type of doctor that will do the correct tests if anyone has suggestions? I see mention of rheumatologists, etc. but I have been there and they said I have mixed connective tissue disorder post covid, but that does not explain lymph issues now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hope everyone keeps positive when there seems to not be much help out there. Long haulers are now our own self-care covid clinics 🙁
