Is chronic reactivated EBV different from chronic active EBV?

I keep reading about anti-viral meds yet I've never seen an MD who would prescribe one except for any of the Acyclovir family (Valacyclovir, Valtrex, etc). Acyclovir helps with shingles and the Herpes Simplex 1 &. 2, but does nothing for CAEBV. I was purposely given the virus which was reactivated 9/2019. I started to get sick 4-6 weeks later and was sick initially for at least 6 months. I had a reprieve from it for maybe 3 months before it flared again. Each cycle of the virus lasts longer and the breaks from it get shorter. I now have it on a constant basis with no breaks. I can hardly do much of anything except continue to research this on the internet. I'm talking with an MD soon about SOT therapy which is supposed to stop the virus from replicating. It's very expensive ($3,250) but will be worth it if it works. I know that it's a DNA double strand virus that attacks the B,T, and NK cells of the body. Otherwise, I can feel the energy just draining from my body and I know where I will end up = dead. TCM talks of the Chi (energy) leaving the body as someone dies. That feels like where I am now. I'm so sad and just not ready yet. I still have a few reasons to be here. If anyone knows of SOT or anti-virals, please share soon. Thanks and blessing to all of us who suffer this dread virus.

I just re/read your post. You are at a stage where I think you can do something about it. You will not die, I am thinking about you.
If your doctor thinks this is compatible with your treatment I strongly advise giving monolaurin a shot. (Start super slow) lauricidin is my fav brand. I trust lauricidin very much.
It might take time and you should take your time. Go super slow and build your dose up. Lemon balm and elderberry are very good tinctures if your doctor thinks you can add that.
Please looks into ways to support your immune system and help with inflammation and moving caca around. Do not just take your meds or supplements, you must attack it from all angles. I found it creates food interactions and until you regain tolerance you might find ways to eat that help you. There is a lot put there to give you ideas about food and supportive diets (but sometimes it’s very personal (took me years to be able to eat a few nuts, and it took me years to relate food and EBV)
Food is tricky with chronic illness because it requires money and energy and we have none.,
Vit D might help.
You can improve. I am rooting for you.

Monolaurin/lauricidin
Please see my post for alternative options which you may incorporate. Talk to your doctor before adding anything, check your are not allergic to any ingredient and always start at very low doses.
Vit D might also help.
