The BackstoryĪ few years ago, I was diagnosed with reactivated (active?) Epstein-Barr. So grab a cuppa tea and cozy up-you’re about to learn why you’ve been so tired with no explanation. This post is much longer than most of my blog posts, but I wanted to give you the full story. With that, I’m going to share my story in the hopes that it can help you-in case you also experience low thyroid levels, an autoimmune condition, lethargy, exhaustion, or days when you just plain don’t feel great.
I’m currently working with a medical doctor who specializes in integrative and functional medicine, and we are still working on treatments and understanding the virus. They all tell me the same thing: there just isn’t a lot of information or standardized tests yet to understand the virus.
I’ve worked with two talented naturopaths and discussed this with multiple functional medicine experts. I took some time to reflect on why this post is so damn hard to write, and here’s what came to me: there is still a lot of confusion in both the modern and alternative medicine worlds about the testing, chronic effects and treatments for EBV. When I sat down to finish this series, I just stared at the screen for an hour. Is It Epstein-Barr Virus Reactivation? If you had a terrible case of mononucleosis (mono) when you were a child or teen (like I did), or if you often feel low in energy with no explanation, then this post is especially for you.īefore I get into the details of the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation, discovery, testing and treatments, I want to mention that I’ve had this post in draft for months.
