What can we do to get ebv under control, blood test from Labcorp back. Cd57 35, this is not as low as it's been but it was up to 62. Ebv number was 69 said should be less than 10. Lyme testing from igenex not back yet , this is the 5 th round of testing. My question is dies Lyme re activate the ebv or the opposite, and what can I do. Last round of antibiotics , minocycline, stopped before complete, it was turning my gums black. No new treatment til all test back. Thanks, in advance.

Hi Suffering…

My (and my LLMD's and other expert's) theory is that some ticks actually carry viruses as well as the microbial infections. So, a bite can reintroduce EBV. But when your immune system gets overwhelmed from the initial infection, EBV can also reactivate. So, in a sense, a new infection or infections as nasty as lyme & co CAN reactivate EBV simply by overwhelming your immune system.

One of the first things my LLMD did was to test me for high viral loads (I had reactivated EBV, CMV, HHV 6 and 8, all common w/ lymees) and more. So before I would be able to handle lyme & co tx, we got my viral load down.

She started me on high doses of Acyclovir for a couple months, which did nothing. She switched me to Valcyclovir, which helped. I was on that for a year, and tried to go off it back in January, which was disastrous. Viral load shot right back up. So I tried a natural replacement, Beyond Balance IMN V II. I accidentally overdosed, and was very VERY ill for about a month. I'm now back on the Valcyclovir and will try the Beyond Balance again soon. It is very powerful.

Thank u for the information, I will ask my doctor at my follow up. She has never give me anything for the viral load , I also have the hhv6 along with the ebv. Now my husband has ebv numbers off the chart, waiting for his Lyme testing to get back from igenex for the first time. Is it possible that I gave him the Lyme disease, and ebv , etc. he was my saving grace, keeping us moving through our lives now he is so tired, barely making it through his work day. I will check out the beyond balance. Thanks for the website, it has got me through some trying times, even though I just recently joined.

I have been using L-lysine to successfully keeps EBV under control. Is this what you were asking about, what to do? Many doctors will prescribe antivirals for high EBV titers.

While it would be difficult to rule out that you may have passed this to him (I'm in the same boat), remember there are many, many ways and times in which he could have picked these things up on his own.

I had read about lysine, thank u, I need to get both of us better. Have resolved that this is chronic, but haven't figured out how to keep everything under my control. It is still controlling me.
