Small Fiber Neuropathy and Epstein-Barr Virus

Posted by giulia76 @giulia76, Aug 30, 2022

I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy in 2020 through skin biopsy after 8 years of a whirlwind of symptoms. I won’t bore you with that list or the tests I have done to determine, for now unsuccessfully, what is causing my small fiber neuropathy (I will be happy to, if someone wants to compare symptoms and tests performed, although I am well aware, everyone’s experience is different). I had mono when I was 19 and I also have herpes viruses that are active although I haven’t been tested. I am having a hard time getting both my neurologist and my PCP to listen to me and investigate further. Does anyone else have small fiber neuropathy because of mono or other herpes viruses? If so, how did you go about getting diagnosed? I am not saying this is the cause but I would like to determine if it is or if it is not. Thank you.

The Covid vaccine injuries resemble long Covid in terms of their underlying pathology. I belong to the Neuro V Long-Haulers Facebook group. On that site, a famous Danish physician with expertise with both chronic fatigue syndrome and vaccine injuries recommended a drug for a patient with a history of EBV who was suffering from neurological symptoms after the Covid vaccine. I think the drug was an antiviral against the reactivated EBV due to immune dysfunction caused by the vaccine. Similarly, immune dysfunction has been linked to long Covid, so you could also have reactivated EBV.

I had small fiber neuropathy after covid infection, not after the vaccine. The vaccine gave me anaphylaxis to food, physical weakness
