No I haven't but I can't get to the bottom of what is happening to my legs, feet, burning and that all started after Shingrix Shot, which also can be EBV. I have appointments with a orthopedic dr., a neurologist again, a allergist, and also had vascular testing done, so if nothing pans out I'll be asking for the EBV test.

When I had ebv there was no test. Anything is possible with autoimmune diseases.

The EBV blood tests are complex and the right panel has to be ordered by a Dr well versed in understanding the results. A full EBV panel can differentiate between Acute EBV (current mono infection), past infectious and chronic or reactivated EBV. The panel must include early antigen antibodies to pick up chronic infection. Some panels do not include that. There’s a lot of misinterpreted EBV results, so your dr must know how to interpret correctly. (+ IGG =past infection + IGM= acute infection + EA =chronic infection). Hope that helps you.
