I thought I’d post about this, maybe get lucky enough to get some help. and maybe be pointed towards the right direction. because I am currently so confused...
How important are Antivirals in a Chronic EBV infection and how likely is a regular GP to prescribe them? Could I get more info on this EBV, my dr wouldn’t even test for EBV antibodies, just monocrit which came back negative. I don’t think any Dr would want the drag of having to follow up with a patient for this stuff? When most of them don’t even believe in it, how are people even getting tested for all these viruses?
I have CFS, all the symptoms, etc. I saw a youtube video saying that if one is to catch the CFS early, the chances of recovery are greater, and so I was told by somebody else, so I’m really trying here, trying to get to the bottom of this as soon I can. Currently just need to figure this aspect out.
but my dr wouldn’t try to help, and he didn’t test me for EBV antibodies, he just didn’t wanna have anything to do with it. How do I possibly test for all these viruses if doctors keep saying “I don’t believe there’s a good enough cause”, because they don’t believe in CFS in the first place? It seems impossible to do this.. (my question is: would he have prescribed Anti-virals in that case? Let’s say they came back positive would he have prescribed the Anti-virals or would have said that it will clear on its own, would he have prescribed the anti-vitals then? How important are they to take? I am reading that treating the Virus with antivirals can bring lots of relief, but also Drs don’t prescribe them. I just want to get better before it’s too late- anybody can help out?
I am currently unsure as to what caused the CFS. but I do have symptoms of chronic EBV (sore throat, fatigue, flu-like symptoms), but that could also just be the CFS? although it would have to have been be re-activated, is it even possible to catch EBV from ways other than kissing? I’ve had a really bad sore throat a while before, so that could’ve been the EBV, and then it reactivated with stress, and evolved.. So what do I do and how do I convince a Dr to test for EBV antibodies? I need to resolve the infection first..
How do I get a Dr to test me for all the Viruses, let’s say it’s HV-6: as underlined in this article: would it have to be a CFS specialist of some kind? https://sites.google.com/site/cfstestingandtreatmentroadmap/
