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?
