Can Lyme/Bart bring back old mono symptoms?

Most definitely it can. Lyme reduces the immune function, so any virus that is laying dormant will have the opportunity to reactivate. Many of us deal with reactivated EBV (the virus that causes Mono, which is also a herpes virus).

I have been using lysine to help keep my EBV under control, particularly during times of high stress.

Really lysine? Huh how much and how often?

Does anyone also notice with bad weather symptoms get worse? We had a snow storm come through here fri night til mid day yesterday and I had the whole head and neck and eye headache from hell all day long g! It was 23 low of 8 last night 25 today low of 6. I feel better today besides being exhausted but the nap helped me. Also it's that time of the month I think I get the headaches around that time too.. all related??

I used Olive Leaf Extract for EBV. But it made me feel dizzy. You may try it and see if it suits you or not. It is very powerful against EBV.

It can be reactivated particularly in individuals who have fibromyalgia, forms of depression, chronic fatigue, pain, stress, Hashimoto’s and all sorts of immune dysfunctions.

Absolutely cb1234. I've read accounts of flairs occurring 3-4x a year. It's advised to probably begin to take something for the long haul to keep it at bay. Traveler does l-lysine. I would recommend balancing that with arginine otherwise you could have more problems per my doctor who lived through that and learned.

I'm taking lomatium for EBV and it's going to be for the long haul.

You can start by taking coconut oil. That's another good and preferred treatment. I took it, but I'm now allergic. Lauracidin is a good form. Start slow and work your way up. It's on Amazon.

You can then add something in for the Lyme. Not sure if you are doing herbal or abx. Are you working with a doctor?

Definitely.

To echo Traveler, it's not borrelia or bartonella that "brings back" Mono, it's the lowering of the immune system or the immune system being so busy fighting borrelia and co that other things become opportunistic.

Matter of fact all kind of microbes or viruses take this opportunity to come out of dormancy. It's why lyme has such a long, long list of symptoms. It's not necessarily just borrelia causing symptoms it's the immune response (or lack thereof) of all kinds of pathogens that you may have been carrying around for years, but when your immune health is not optimal it can all pop back up (at once).

It's why people feel like death in the early stages of lyme, it can be a chaotic frenzy of numerous pathogens.

great how do I know the difference
got bit by tick prob carried lyme since 9 yrs old
got mono 16 yrs old (prob connected)
moved into moldy environment (I believe) 30 yr old
got surgery 31 yr old
everything fell apart after I moved but got really bad after the surgery.....

mono prob coming back I'm confused as to what symptoms now are from what and how to treat what....
mono, mold or lymes....omg this is so bad

so mono can come back?

I thought I had this straightened out in my mind, because I have had shingles supposedly at the onset of my Lyme infection, and then many years later got mono from a drink my daughter shared with me.

And recently I've had ebv symptoms, and learned from my daughter she tested positive for ebv at some point. (she has Lyme as well).

But, she had the chicken pox vaccine, and while I didn't think I did, I do have that scar on my arm from the shot, so....

Anyway, I just found this article that I thought informative, though it may be not what would help you, I'm going to book mark it.
