This Summer I was diagnosed with a Reactivated Acute EBV infection. The last one being 10 yrs ago...I have noticed this time around the symptoms are much worse; excessive lymphitis, sleep disturbance, muscle weakness/soreness, leg spasms, headaches, Thrush(tongue) that won't go away after treatment, Eye infections and Ear infections, No appetite and nausea/excessive sleepiness after force feeding myself, and worst of all-depression.
This has affected every aspect of my life, including work, relationships-my marriage, etc. I relate to people that have a hard time getting out of bed and getting simple things done everyday like housecleaning. I'm concerned, since some of these symptoms and others(digestion) have been present for years before this recent infection. I am currently pumping up my immune system with herbs and supplements and taking drugs that treat the symptoms such as Cymbalta and Provigil. I was given a prognosis of up to a year to recover. How do I get a diagnosis of CFS?

Sorry this is long, bear with me.

Monday evening I started getting a stuffy and runny nose. Tuesday it got a little worse. Wednesday I was really weak so I was taking sudafed and slept most of the day. Thursday it was a little better but I began coughing. By thursday night the cough was getting really bad that I woke myself up numerous times. Even though I was taking Tylenol and cough drops. Thursday night I took some Tylenol cold and flu night time pills and still woke up coughing. It is a horrible sounding cough. Friday morning I was going to do a "walk in" at the doctors but I woke up too late. The cough seems to be getting alot worse, and there's yellowish phlegm. The doctor doesn't have an answering service and won't be open until Tuesday. I have tried all kinds of OTC meds and they aren't working. I don't know what to do. I don't think it's serious enough for a trip to the hospital but I really don't know what to do.

I was just informed the other day that I have shingles on my back. They hurt something terrible and the itch is very bad. I am taking antibiotics. The blisters are starting to dry up and the pain and itch are getting worse. If anyone that has or does have shingles could give me some tips on how to calm the itch down I would appreciate it very much. I know that there probably isn't anything besides my pain pills for the pain. How long do the shingles usually last? After the blisters are gone do you still have the bad pain?

I have asked my doctor all these questions, but I was just wondering if someone on here could share their stories with me. I guess you could say I am looking for a first hand experience.

Thank you to all who take the time to answer all my questions.

Granted, it is not my home and I informed him I understand it is not where I live, but we do share a lot of food together and we drink and eat from the same counter and I think it is just totally disqusting to have this fly trap hanging over the counter above the utensils, toaster and dish of cookies. I was given permission to move it and he said he did not care. Keep in mind, I am a registered nurse and a little germ phobic.
This afternoon when I went to his house, his 28 year old son put the sticky trap back over the top of the counter. He moved in with his dad about a month ago with his pregnant girlfriend.
His dad says "I didnt tell him to put it there" to which I responded I would never eat anything in the house again if they insist on putting maget, diseased, infested fly traps over the counter. A huge argument followed and I left angry and upset that this 28 yr old mooch is allowed to run this house like that. I think he did it because he wanted me to get mad. Do you?
