It’ll be hard convincing my doctor to give me antivirals for long term therapy if he’s convinced EBV isn’t what’s bothering me. In fact he’s convinced this is all in my head (even though I’ve never been an anxious or manic person). I only started feeling this way because my symptoms are real!

Maybe you could hand him the attached and have him run a similar trial on you.
Should I just tell him that I’ve been getting nonstop cold sores ?

Well that sounds more an HSV acting up. Many of us have more than one herpes family virus chronically ruining our health. You might also ask to get tested for CMV and HHV6. And if you find several, look into immune function.

The amino acid, lysine, may help HSV outbreaks. Acyclovir, too.
