Does EBV cause Neurological Symptoms?

Thank you so much for the reply! Had an MRI done yesterday and everything looked good. I am a mystery to the doctors. I am really wondering if it is the EBV that has caused me so many problems for the last 14 years. Prayers for you as well and thank you again for the protocol.

Hi, EBV can cause neurological symptoms, please see a link below:

However, one-sided weakness, like you mentioned numbness more on the right side, could be due obstruction to blood flow, like pulmonary embolism, Transient Ischemic Attack, or due to herniated disks that are pressing on arteries. Could also be renal artery stenosis, if blood pressure is going up during those episodes. If numbness and weakness due to obstruction to blood flow, then blood pressure can be going up to 170/100 levels and above during the episode. It may be good to get Kardia Mobile device and check your EGK yourself on the go when those episodes are happening.
I had EBV in Feb of 2025, as a single episode with similar symptoms. It was post stem cell transplant. EBV titer was 10000 and later went down to zero, but the symptoms persisted for different reasons - post-transplant fatigue, autoimmune condition, iron deficiency anemia, extremely low Vit D, low Vit B12, malabsorption of vitamins and nutrients due to autoimmune condition, tissue hypoxia (low oxygen in the blood) due to anemia.
Low thyroid hormones could cause some of your symptoms, but not all of them. To start Synthroid, hormone replacement, may still be a good idea.
More likely, multiple causes are involved.
It could be helpful to check your vitamin levels, and to get blood tests for multiple causes, including autoimmune conditions. Pernicious anemia (resistance to Vit B12) and iron deficiency anemia (blood counts can be normal, but low Iron, or low Transferrin and Ferritin) can cause many of your symptoms due to tissue hypoxia - low oxygen in the blood, even if the lung tests are good and your perfusion is 100%.
Another possibility is Lyme disease or another infection due to tick/mosquito bite. It could happen, even if you did not have typical Lyme rash presentation.
May be helpful to see a Rheumatologist for all autoimmune and Lyme.
More Blood tests could give the answers.
Hope, this helps.
