Epstein barr

Posted by lorin200 @lorin200, Feb 24, 2023

Does anyone have any information on the effects of the Covid vaccine in people who have had Epstein Barr in the past?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

There is a antibodies test now. Don't know if it's worth getting the test or not but how were you diagnosed with EVB?

Anthony William covers Epstein Barr a lot in all of his books. The latest one, Brain Saver, encompasses all of his prior works and helps people recover from all sorts of diseases, naturally, not just Epstein Barr. Apparently Epstein Barr is a precursor to MS.

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

They have EBV tests showing results of different antibodies in an EBV infection. The different antibodies can tell what stage of infection you are.

Going down this road of undiagnosed illnesses everything keeps pointing back to EBV. I met with a Neurologist to specializes in MS. He said it’s the thing that long-haul Covid researchers are studying, MS also has flareups from EBV and fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue are probably connected to. I had a test for EBV and I am active and have antibodies that are pretty high and IGG and IGM and I still don’t totally know what those acronyms mean but it has something to do with my antibodies.

I’ve been diagnosed with Lyme disease I’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and and and. I’m realizing now I can have Lyme disease and I can have Epstein-Barr and chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are just the reactions to my body getting hit by viruses and bacteria and then Epstein-Barr comes out of its hiding place to say hey let’s party. My legs hurt and ache and burn and all the things and my body feels like it’s at the first day of what a normal person would feel of their worst flu. When your brain can’t function and you just wanna sleep all day long and your body aches. That is essentially what Epstein-Barr has done to me and then all the friends that come out of their hiding places to party with it

Hi, I'm a Covid Long Hauler since 07/2020. My main symptom is extreme fatigue and I have zero energy. I was tested for EBV back on 08/2021 and the results are as follows:
EBV VCA IgM: < 6 - Negative
EBV VCA IgG: < 8 - Negative
EBNA IgG: >600 - Positive
A positive EBNA means I had EBV in the past so VCA IgG should be positive but it's negative. Anyone ever seen anything like that?

I feel in my case the EBV virus was dormant and became active when I got the two initial Covid vaccines. I have RA so I was immune compromised when I got the shots. It started with a dry ticklish cough that wouldn’t go away and after a CT scan they discovered enlarged lymph nodes all over my body. After numerous lymph node biopsies, bone marrow biopsies, CT scans and PET scans, a team of doctors diagnosed it as Non Hodgkins EBV+ B Cell Lymphoma consistent with Marginal Zone Lymphoma. It affected my liver where I had to be hospitalized two times due to jaundice. After four treatments of Rituxan it destroyed the EBV and I’m now in complete remission. It was a long road to get a diagnosis as EBV related lymphoma is rare. I don’t recall having mono in the past but my EBV tests were off the chart.

I had epstein-Barr and mono feels like 100 years ago. Both were awful. I was very young sounds amount like you my Epstein-Barr was then called chronic fatigue syndrome. It was active for 10 years and I never had a real diagnosis I went from mono and was in the hospital with it at 17 to Epstein-Barr to Raynauds to PMR to GCA. I’m 81 and still on prednisone for GCA. There were others in between it has been a difficult life for me. The only disease that was diagnosed promptly was GCA. It could have always been worse.😊

In Anthony William's book I mentioned, he provides a way to rid your body of the virus but its not simple. Its a 3 month process/cleanse. If you live alone and don't have to cook for family and can do the cleanse it would be a lot easier. It sounds like you would benefit greatly from it since EPV has caused you so many problems. I am considering doing it. It will take some planning as you have to get certain supplements, then plan you menu to exclude foods that the virus loves, and eat only ones it doesn't.

I will buy his book. Anthony Williams sounds like a smart person. Can’t do it now but maybe sometime in the very near future.
