    I went years ago after my brother was diagnosed. He had told me to go see the doctor as I suffered with a loyalty of his symptons. My doctor didn't want to test me but did. She was surprised I had a high count yet never had mono. Still suffer with it. 50 years later

    I have the EBV from hell and it’s caused my very young child to experience autoimmunity. I’m currently wondering how to go about getting her diagnosed as I suspect an enlarged spleen. I also know she’s been diagnosed with hashimotos at the age of 4 along with a Crohn’s diagnosis. I actually believe that was a mast cell activation and an H.pylori that we managed to get under control after horrific situations with biologics. Shes 8 now complaining of left sided sharp pains that refer into her shoulder. Ugh this medical system is hell to deal with!!!!

    Def address her adrenals standard process has good supplements. I take the af beta food daily to support my liver/gallbladder!! Also, Thorne has an adrenal supplement…but yes momma it’s rly hard to navigate this system. Have u had her checked for vit deficiencies? Bc of her gi probs. Maybe u cld test for MTHFR? It caused me hell for yrs. Methylated b vitamins help, in addition to vitamin d supplements. It’s rly frustrating when you know there’s other ways but don’t have the resources. Plus traditional medicine drs are deaf to your complaints!! I am not a medical professional def not for pediatric but this has helped me. In addition to l-lysine, nac, vit c, and a good formula. Many times our bodies can’t absorb the nutrients/vit in our foods due to the gi prob. I’m sure you have her on a good probiotic as well. Again, I’d def find a holistic practitioner to help you with a supplement regime. I drink Kate Farms formula and it’s made a huge difference. Thankfully one of my insurance covers it but it’s still not real food. Check for support groups online as it’s harder to go it alone. N tbh, it sounds like she wld benefit from genetic counseling, she’s very young to have so many co-morbid conditions. Too often modern medicine doesn’t find the “umbrella” diagnosis for what’s rly wrong. In my case it was like EDS’s called hyper-mobility spectrum disorder. It took me 40yrs and that’s WAY too long to struggle to get answers. 🙏 I’m sry ur bby is sick.

    Yes, had very very serious case of mono at age 13, in hospital in isolation for a week, lost year of school but recovered eventually, then chronic appendicitis at 17 which is also related to EBV then at 31 caught a viral infection that never left. Now 41 years later still suffering with ME/CFS though if I keep inside my 'envelope' of activity - physical and mental - I can stay at a livable plateau though my activities stop around noon. Mostly homebound.

Throws my whole system off, it’s like my immune system was never the same after.

    At 14 I was diagnosed with Epstein bar spent a year in and out of the hospital. I had so many different symptoms that they were tested me for everything it was 1986 there was no test for Epstein bar at that time just a mono test and because they did all the test they finally agreed that it was Epstein-Barr. My father has MS and my general doctor will not send me to a neurosurgeon even though I’m exhibiting signs of loss of balance, tingling sensations in my feet, and my legs and feet both swell and chronic for teak and heat sensitivity. I’m mostly concerned because I did have brain lesions on my brain at 14.
