Does EBV cause Neurological Symptoms?

Hi, minnerhead1 @minnerhead1

Although I don't have all the symptoms you describe, I do have many of them (+ others), and I have been suffering terribly because of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. (I also have hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, migraines, tinnitus, and a bad depression as a consequence of all the above. I can cope with everything. Everything except CFS, that is. ) I am surprised the doctor does not know that one of the many symptoms of CFS is swollen lymph nodes, but really I should not be surprised as most doctors know little or nothing about CFS.

I myself got sick with CFS many years ago, because just like you I was going through a huge amount of stress. After many wrong diagnoses (MS and others) they found out I had a very high Epstein Barr virus. So, yes. You can absolutely get many of the symptoms you describe in your post if you have CFS. I only hope that since you are still young you can get rid of this disease. But in order to do so, you have to try eliminating as much stress as only possible because stress is the no. 1 enemy when it comes to Chronic Fatigue.

Wishing you all the best.

Thank you so much Christina for your reply. I didn’t think of CFS. I’ll look into that. Did you have an EMG done? MRI? Prayers for your recovery.
