Epstein Barr Virus

Hi Everyone,

I was diagnosed with Epstein Barr Virus years ago before I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I heard this can cause fibromyalgia? Has anyone else been diagnosed with this?

Thanks!

I had it when I was in high school

The doctor that diagnosed me with Epstein Barr Virus told me that most people have it?

I read most people come down with it in their lifetimes. I know it began for me years ago because I've had cold sores for years. I recall my mother having cold sores too. I guess it can lie dormant for years and show up again for a time.

Here's a link to an article on fibromyalgia and epstein barr virus:

That's interesting, Suffering. Thanks for sharing that. I hope you're feeling better.
