I have fibromyalgia and dormant EBV. After covid in fall of 2021, I experienced a wave of almost unbearable symptoms about three weeks after I recovered from Covid. I was beyond exhausted, my cold sore virus woke up and I had very bad cold sores (I hadn't had even one in years), my skin hurt, my body hurt, it felt like even my bones hurt. Even though I was not hospitalized with Covid, I considered going to the hospital at this point. Everything started smelling like garlic and onions. This has since improved but I still can't smell parts of the mint smells. I told my husband that I felt like I was being spiritually attacked. Like my whole body was being attacked. I felt then that every dormant virus in my body was awake and my fibromyalgia was flaring up like I had never had before. My head hurt horribly. I am sure my eastern barr woke up too. Between the fibromyalgia, eastern barr and long covid....I slept and slept and slept. My kidney function showed a 16 point drop in my next annual blood work in April of 2022. By altering my diet and losing close to 60 pounds I have reversed this damage. I was obese and pre-diabetic and had high cholesterol at the time I contracted covid. This is not the case anymore. But this video just confirmed my suspicions.

[@Kra-ri6fd]

Epstein barr, sorry auto correct is a pain.

[@AJ_SouthernGal]

I haven't had Epstein-Barr (to my knowledge) but when I got Covid the 1st time in Jan 2021 all this happened to me, too. It seemed to travel through my body & hit every system one-by-one, everything I have had an issue with in the past seemed to reactivate. I had a strong case of mumps when I was 13 (even with being vaxxed for mumps) & it seemed to "wake up" again for a full 6 weeks, the regular time frame for mumps. I felt spiritually attacked, too, I had bad dreams for weeks until Covid ran its course. I had long-Covid, as well, and it finally went away after I got a long break from work & was able to sleep for a few weeks. Hope you're doing better now, going thru all that isn't fun!

[@leslietascoff9784]

A lot of people with Ehlers-Danlos were originally misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Chronic or reactivated EBV seems to be more common in the Ehlers-Danlos community. Take a look at the 2017 Hypermobile EDS Diagnostic Checklist.

[@Kra-ri6fd]

@@leslietascoff9784 thank you. I will look into that. I do not have full confidence that the medical field has fibromyalgia figured out much at all. My doc told me it isn't caused by inflammation also but I tell you, from experiencing the pain, that feels like inflammation related to me. Aleve seemed to help minimize the pain (likely contributed to kidney issues also). But I also noticed that anytime I was over weight I was in more pain. After losing all that weight my pain level went down 95 percent and my energy skyrocketed. So what I have been told about fibromyalgia from doctors just doesn't add up to me. Something is off.

[@Kra-ri6fd]

@@AJ_SouthernGal Thank you 😊 I am doing much much better now. I can smell mint again also! I hope you are recovering well from Covid also. BTW, I don't know when I had Epstein Barr. I was chronically fatigued while in the military and being a new mom...twice. I suspect it happened somewhere in that time frame and I just passed the overwhelming fatigue off as being the usual overwhelming fatigue from that life style. The military is good at making you feel like you are a whimp if you need sleep so we push through it to very unhealthy levels. My doc told me after labs once that I had the antibodies for Epstein Barr. That was a shock to me.

did you ignore 90% of this video? The vaccine is causing worse damage to people because it creates antibodies mimicking the spike protein... I understand that a cure for EBV would be ideal, but Im not going to be rushing in for an EBV vaccine for quite some time myself. EBV and LC are being cured through things like anti-viral + dry fasting therapy.

"A systematic literature search was conducted using multiple electronic databases (MEDLINE and The Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL, and medRxiv) until January 2022."

Thank you for an important talk. At last - some helpful information on EBV. It is a really nasty virus I had EBV in 1989, very severe (my Dad, a GP, said he had never seen such bad liver function tests). But I recovered really quickly and got normal liver function tests in a month. However 11 years later I developed chronic fatigue and have had recurrences - extreme stress reactivated each time (eg death of parent, work, caring for a parent with Parkinsons). Also damaged my thyoid gland and then caused choroiditis in my right eye. nasty virus. Am doing really well now because I did a hair mineral analysis test and found that magnesium and potassium levels really low. Feel so much better on sorting that out. I also take NACA and glutathionine among other nutrients. Also helps to take nutrients to support mitochondrial health and gut health As I knew I had issues with that virus, I avoided the Covid jab - knew that I did not want a virus with adjuvents which would play around with my immune system managed to have Covid - delta and omicrom with just a hint of a symptom which wiped out with 3g vit C - and repeat if the symptom returns. As a result - had Covid but no illness - just a mild sore spot in the centre of my lung which cleared and then a sore throat, which also cleared. Only knew I had had Covid by tiaking blood test for anti bodies which was positive. I have been lucky in that I saw Doctors trained in Integrated Medicine ( Lucky to see Prof Lewith) - they understand EBV and chronic fatigue and use nutritional support. No point in seeing GP in the UK - they were happy to see me bedridden and just confirm that it was ME - one would have prescribed anti depressants - even though I was not depressed!!! Pissed off at my body being unable to sustain any physical activity - but not depressed. From my experience the big thing to take away - we are all different - EBV has been said elsewhere to block the uptake of certain nutrients (I think zinc, vit A and D) From personal experience I have known that zinc was an issue over the last 20 years - I have to take zinc or I get white spots on my nails). I really recommend a hair analyisis test - better than blood test as it shows how the body is handling the nutrients, not what is floating around in the blood stream. In addition - if you are low in magnesium - read levy's book on magnesium there are loads of different types of magensium - and the bioavailbility vareis - find what works best for you - and inlcude magnesium threonate as that corsses the blood brain barrier. And keep searching - as someone said to me - you won't get better until you have learned everyting you need to know. ALl the best on your healing journey - it has taken me 20 years - but I am doing the best and feel the energy levels are more reliable than ever before.,

Hello M J, your story sounds so familiar to me. Have EBV for many yrs. Don't know when I contracted it. My docs never tested for it until 2016 (!??), then my lightbulb went on and my thinking cap and so I'm much much more educated, thanks to Docs like Dr. Been and so many online physicians who truly care about ill people. I also got CV in Aug and now my energy is much more diminished with PEM plus other neuro symptoms. Yes, the stress incidents do definitely seem to trigger my fatigue and then I'm down for days. Am 71 yo now but in younger times I'd just have long 3 hour naps at end of work week. You reminded me on the zinc. Same here. My nails got almost completely white after the birth of my son. I'll check into the mag issue. Thanks for your post. Stay strong in the fight!

[@lauragott2122]

Yes, and I like you got quite tired of seeing the practitioners eyes glaze over and then prescribe an anti- depressant. I never took bcuz I was not depressed only frustrated with my body not cooperating with me to do necessary life chores. This illness forces you to cultivate patience! And also to be kind and understanding of yourself. To not be so proud as to continue to push thru. I'm still working on that one, hence my sleep deprived status.

If you go back to my chart when I was non-ambulatory, bladder and bowel dysfunction of a severe nature it was called "anxiety:. I have shown doctors this article 5-7 weeks ago and was told "everyone has EBV". Mine was from the Moderna vaccine, and in fact when I got covid and when on Paxlovid I felt it was the best I have had felt in months and shared it was diagnostic, and also still neglected even with BP 257/132 to 80/47 and abnormal CSF from LP, hypoxia with carbon monoxide with central sleep apnea - and then 6 months later totally different finding.

I couldn't remember(brain fog) where I learned about EBV reactivation by stress which is why I added a long post to your review of the Yale study preprint. My apologies; and thank you so much for this body of papers. I would like to add a clinical trial paper "Results of Open-Label Non-randomized comparative clinical trial: 'Bromhexine and Spironolactone for Coronavirus Infection Requiring Hospitalization(BISCUIT) a Russian study Kardiologiia (2020); 60(11): 4-15. Caught my eye not only because of spironolactone but I remember finding an Australian cough syrup with bromhexine in it during my first researches on the cellular entry attachment mechanism which included 2 steps, binding to ACE2 receptor and then a serine protease(like endogenous TMPRSS2) or furin protease facilitated second attachment to the outer cell membrane. I never understood why no one seemed to consider preventing COVID19 infections with repurposed drugs. In the Russian hospital study, even delayed treatment with Brom/Spirono was effective in lowering temperatures, decreasing viral load and shortening hospital stays. From 2016 comes a paper "Specific inhibition of HIV infection by the action of spironolactone in T cells". Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing drug used as a diuretic, it's also an aldosterone antagonist in the mineralcorticoid family and a mild androgen antagonist. In this report it "blocks viral Tat-dependent transcription, thereby inhibiting both HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection of permissive T cells." In Cardiovascular Research(2018)114, 65-76, Elinoff et al demonstrated an anti-inflammatory role for spironolactone delineating its ability to suppress both NFKB and AP-1 signalling, NFKB being a massively studied inflammatory player. Of note: "Spironolactone blocks Epstein Barr Virus production by inhibiting EBV SM protein function" Verma et al 2016 and in May, 2021 "When Off target effects are on target: the role of spironolactone in patients with COVID-19" a preprint from Wilcox at Georgetown who concludes that "physicians might consider using spironolactone initially twice daily in doses of 12.5 to 25mg for patients at high risk for SARS-COV-2 infection" to prevent infection; and "in higher doses of 100-200 mg daily in those infected with the virus." Having grown cell lines for drug discovery, I understand why inexpensive, "safe and effective" treatments are ignored, it's greed...and that makes me incredibly sad.

Almonds contain arginine which may cause cold sores due to same pathway competition for lysine. (Lysine helps prevent cold sores)

Good evening sir I have exposure,,, get lymphocytosis as also leicoocytosis, ebv igg positive, igm negative, tuberculosis goldferon positive, having symptoms i.e Foggy urine traces protein , oral candiadis, weight loss, having liver granuloma Please advice treatment

I had a reactivation long before Covid, about 6 years prior. Now I have had a bad case of Covid and was wondering if Paxlovid helps on both? Or is there studies on that??

I started having an inflamed toe, turning purple from damage. Got antibiotics twice, didn't work. Other toes started to swell and also my forefoot. From flaming hot to icey cold, not being able to stand on the foot anymore and the other foot started having symptoms too. Low grade fever and swollen glands. Went to a rheumy and they took blood. Turned out I had active EBV infection. And the foot is explained as arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis. Did the ebv cause the arthritis (reactive) or the other way around, did the ebv somehow trigger a form of rheuma? Nobody seems to know. Taking prednisone, but still it flares and flares. Been 2,5 months now. Tuesday my blood will be checked for the ebv igm, to see if it lowers. The fever is gone, never had other symptoms besides that, feeding tired and having swillen glands. It's the inflammation in my feet that's killing me man!

These symptoms could be the damage from the spike protein that was injected into you. May I suggest you take a look at the FLCCC protocol online, to find ways to boost natural immunity. It includes, vit c, vit d, zinc, quercetin, magnesium, nattokinase, and N-acetylcysteine. And intermittent fasting. I wish you well.

@@sarahwalkerbeach6985 I had 2 doses back in 2021. Never any issue. I always take my supplements and eat healthy (not too many carbs and refined sugars and lots of anti inflammatory foods) Don't think there's much to do about a damaged immune system due to the vaccine (2 doses back in 2021) and 2 rounds of covid.

[@sarahwalkerbeach6985]

@@rememberallah5201 Your post says "nobody knows". But we do know that EBV can be triggered by a lowered immune system. The spike that was injected into you can compromise your immune system. The FLCCC has a protocol for detoxing from the spike protein. May God give you strength.

Don't give up. You sound like you have micro clotting from CV. Check out Dr. Resia Pretorius and Dr. Jordan Vaughn. Dr. Resia proved the microclots were in CV patients blood and Dr. Vaughn can treat. Also much good info on Gez Medlinger's You Tube channel. Best wishes for your recovery.

Has it gone dormant? I suspect not. EBV is secondary to the thing compromising your immune system.

This is very interesting. I got the JJ vaccine 2021 and basically immediately got horrible fatigue that never truly went away. 6 months post vaccine, I caught COVID which retriggered the fatigue that had slightly improved. Never got any boosters. Fatigue is still debilitating, but have since been diagnosed with MS. Diagnosis process started w optic neuritis end of 2022. Diagnosed Jan of 2023 at 23 y/o. I don't think COVID or the vaccine gave me MS because I had symptoms back in 2016 (numbness in limb that lasted half a year) and had what I retrospectively realize was a milder optic neuritis in 2020. But the vaccine/COVID 100% triggered the current fatigue that I am struggling with. Likely triggered my current MS relapse. Not surprising as EBD is thought to contribute to MS. When I try to find any research about MS and COVID, all I can find is "people with MS can safely get the vaccine". I'm not convinced. Would love a video on the subject if you had any insight

That’s a terrible shame in one so young. Low Dose Naltrexone has been very effective for many with MS in stopping the progress especially in relapsing remitting MS. Look into it there’s plenty of information online to review and it is very cheap.

[@MrMikk532]

@@nonpareilstoryteller5920 I honestly feel very lucky. Could have gone on a lot longer w/o diagnosis. The vague fatigue left me undiagnosed until the more obvious optic neuritis which led to diagnosis. I'm blessed that it was identified instead of going undiagnosed for decades like for some. Otherwise minimal disability. I took a look and I'll keep it in mind. It's not a medication that has crossed my path in my research thus far. I'm on ocrevus rn which has high efficacy. I'm glad that there are now so many effective options for MS when 30 years ago there were literally zero.

I have a friend with multiple sclerosis which is caused by EBV. She got vaccinated against C19 and that shot made her almost immobile, she lives in bed from that moment :(
