: I am a 34 mother of a 1 1/2 year old son and tested positive for EBV in September of 1999 exactly a year ago. I had no follow up visits. I was told that the virus would take its course and I would be feeling better. It has been a year and I started feeling better spring of this year. The only thing i did was take a good multi vitamin along with high potency iron and B-12 1000mg. in the morning with breakfast and it did help alot. I still have days where I am tired and achey but not as bad as it was a year ago. I hope this helps.
Hi,

: Can anyone tell me about the relationship between testing positive for the Epstein-Bar virus and Chronic Fatigue?

: I just found out today from my doctor's nurse that I tested positive for Epstein-Bar (but I do not have my follow up appointment with the doctor for another two weeks). While I am sometimes tired and lethargic, it really isn't that severe (I don't think anyway). I was quite frankly very surprised by the test results.

: By the way, I'm a 38 year old otherwise very health and physically fit male.

: Thanks
