thought i would share my story :
i was run over 11 years ago by a car 10 months later i developed PTSD … i thought.
i went to a natural dr who said you have epstein barr . i didnt know then what it was but i felt crazy and mentally weird. i could not leave the house so stuck with PTSD diagnosis .
i was 41 when this happened and now at 52 going through the same thing but this time with CFS
i never got over really the panic and anxiety issues.
So if you have any of the above symptoms get yourself a test as its in 95 % of people .also very importantly hormone fluctuations can cause Epstein Barr to reactivate .
This is a huge parallel, and so true lori.
Theres so much unknown, and undiscovered. .viruses do these things when we are compromised, and with estrogen loss and lowered immunity, it rears its head.
The medical community doesn’t handle it too well though because of the unknowns..only guesimating
I was tested another 3 weeks ago for the environment and also the cytamegalo. (Cmv) all cousin’s as well as the zoster herpes 1 &2.
And sure enough I’ve got ebstein bar (most of us do)
And cytamegalo too. Sounds crazy right?
Nope it isnt. We don’t usually notice symptoms because our immune systems manage it quite well..
But with things like menopause/peri/ weakened immunity. .it comes back.
Ir explained my crashing fatigue.
Im gtrying better slowly tnough.
Thanks for sharing this super insightful piece of info
Xoxo
Typo
Not environment but
Ebstein barr
thank you maui … yes when put hormones drop all these things rear their ugly head. i knew in my case it wasnt just hormones as nobody seemed to have the fatigue i had . so thanks to sassy bringing up epstein barr and cfs … i realized what was going in and got tested .
