I became ill around age 16, circa 1986. I was falling asleep in class for many consecutive days. One day I came we home from school, laid down and woke up the next day. I remember having the worst sore throat of my life. My mother took me to our pediatrician. By the time we arrived home, the phone rang as we we walked into the back door. It my my doctor. He asked for my Mom, indicating I has tested positive to Mononucleosis. I had a knot on my right neck (lymph node) that became so inflamed it stayed that way for months. I distinctly remember having a thick white substance on both sides in back of my throat eerily reminiscent of ricotta cheese (sorry gross) . It was so thick and packed back there. I recall taking a straw to pick it out. I also had white specks under my tongue. I just felt “diseased”. Like so sick. I remember my stepfather praying over me. I remember thinking, am I going to die? (A teenager trying to put this all together) I don’t recall any treatment, meds other than Mom checking on me, making me soup (no appetite) but I remember my old South Georgia native doctor’s Voice (southern US) telling me I couldn’t drive bc my spleen was enlarged. Worrying that if I wrecked my car, steering wheel trauma could cause my spleen to rupture. Those days we had no air bags. Randomly wore seatbelts. He told me “NO MORE DRINKING AFTAH Each other!” My doc said, “you teen age-agers drinking after one anotha at the Burga King, is likely how you got this!” Jokingly. That southern drawl of his sticks in my head. He was an excellent physician. He took wonderful care of my brother and me growing up. I will never forget him. To this day, I don’t drink after people. Rarely even after my kids. Lastly, I missed several days if not two weeks of school. I slept and slept. It was the sickest I can recall, I was pale and lost 7-10 lbs, that was a lot for an already a thin teen. I hope one cannot get mono again. And I pray that kids don’t get it. Neither have had it. Thank you for this informative video.
Thank you for your personal experience on mono. I'm 76 years old and my throat, only my throat, has been slightly hurting. My daughter insists I have mono that I probably have picked up from the pool or from her. I don't know. I am only slightly fatigue. Will do more research on this subject, but your response was a good start for me.
As a teenager I missed at least 8 weeks of school. It was a full holiday trimester I spent with mono. I was diagnosed at an emergency room and was told I likely got it from one of three of my restaurant jobs from sharing drinking cups. My throat swelled so much I could barely drink liquids. I slept for 8 weeks getting up every 24 hrs to bathe and go back to bed. I had a white gooey blanket in my throat and tongue. No med, just rest and fluids. Fever, headache and Every muscle of my body was screaming. Lost 20 pounds but was too tired to care. The thing is I never really recovered fully. I was going to school and night school, working 3 partime jobs before mono. After recovery I never regained my energy and stamina. I could only do day school and never did go back to work during high school. The Fatigue never really went away. Then was later diagnosed with celiac disease and fibro about early 30's. Having mono was a very pivotal time in my life. I was used to doing sport practices, working, schooling and babysitting, but after mono it all changed. no more sports or working. Just activity that was priority, like getting enough credits to graduate. There was no energy for socializing.
Thank you for sharing your story. It was very informative and helpful. I know that must have been hard. I went through a similar experience and just was never the same, also left with chronic fatigue. I hope the lord blesses you and you can regain all that energy! Also, for me and my energy; well what works for me is to eat a lot of protein and to drink this tea called “Energy Tea”. I first found it at Mckays but Mckays has closed down in my small town now. It’s green and in a cardboard box. Take one pack and put it in your tea, then wait 10 minutes and you should begin to feel a difference. ❤Hope this helps!!
Thank you for sharing this, I know it was an awful experience but this really helped me visualise a case study for an upcoming exam. I hope you're doing better now.
I’m pretty sure I’m affected by this chronically. Especially when I get sick from another virus I wonder if EBV reactivates. I’m always tired. I noticed over the years that electrolytes and magnesium make a huge difference in how I feel. My aldosterone is low and I wonder if it is related to a chronic infection affecting my adrenals. Aldosterone is the hormone that regulates electrolyte function
Never kissing anyone ever lol, the last 3 days have been terrible feels like razor blades are in my throat and the fever just doesn’t make it any better
Problem is that ppl get it by eating from other ppl's utensils, drinking from cups an glases that have not been washed properly. Ppl can spread this not just kissing. 😕
If 90-95% of the adult population test + for the EBV antibodies, isn't the 5-10% negative population more interesting in the case of Hodgkins lymphoma? As mentioned here, the tests show 50% of the Hodgkin patients are sero(+) for EBV Abs. Thereby the other 50% is from the rarer "5-10% sero(-) pool".
It doesn't necessarily means increased MONOCYTES. Mononucleosis because increased of cells with 1 nucleus and this is LYMPHOCYTES since this is viral infections. Monocytes in blood count are usually insignificant and not used to diagnose IM. Says by most of the references I've read.

I was previously tested on serology few years ago to be EBV equivocal. 2 days ago, i also had greenish yellowish phlegm. Mostly dry cough and my nose is runny. Headache too.

I got it at about age 7 from my babysitter. It was so bad, that I was sick the entire summer vacation from school, I finally felt a little better and my dad took me to a toy store to pick out a birthday gift and then I had a relapse. Not sure how much longer I was out. I slept like 23 hr and 45 minutes a day. Got up to eat a little soup and go to the restroom. Had a sickly life since... had all kinds of "diseases" Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Now being worked up for a possible lymphoma with an oncologist. Oh yes and now in kidney failure. I truly don't feel like I will be around very much longer. Also interestingly I read the Medical Medium book and it was like reading my life story of illness from this darned EBV! It has settled in my thyroid so that probably had a hand in my kidneys going south as it is a hyperthyroid so it's like being on too much coffee and high blood pressure. I am more exhausted than I was as a child now but am the sole caregiver to my hubby who has dementia and strokes. His family is very quickly trying to get him placed somewhere as I can't take care of him much longer. This is such an insidious disease!
Are you on Medical Medium protocols? I started 4 months ago and it helps me to feel better but still have some symptoms keeping on going and coming back. It is very difficult to live with. Now, I am going to add some complements that I just bought for reducing the viral charge and hopefully this annoying EBV will get back to silence... Good luck to you!
I have chronic EBV for 6 yrs . I'm 61 an its been horrible dealing with this every day. Has taking a toll on my body for sure. No cure ! Help why isn't this talked about more?? Doctors are clueless! ! So many people suffer from this chronic Epstein Barr
I had it for years eventually I count not walk or talk without turning into stone. Dystonia set in. I found a DO dr. The scale in 1 thru 9 I was 8. He gave me 6 ozone treatments plus put vitiamn cocktails back in me. I had no vitiams left it sucked me dry. They put me on keto diet and I have been well for 6 years
@@TheBashar16 Yeah it took 3 weeks to get better. After that I felt weak for about a month. I also lost ten pounds from all the coughing and spitting up.
So is there a possibility that we all had it once in our life without knowing if we ever acquired it? Can we get it again ? & the enlarged spleen and liver resolves on its own ?
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Melvin Erik Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@@belmartinez4404 yes i’m okay now! a million times better. i’m so sorry mono is awful. i fully recovered. i am an athlete and i will say it took me a little bit to get back up to where i was before, but i’m good now. you will be okay!
I am 31 years old and got diagnosed yesterday. I feel like I got hit by a train. The fatigue is like nothing I’ve experienced before. Moving around feels like a lot of effort and my limbs just feel achy and heavy. I assume this to be normal for acute mono? I’m usually fairly healthy and used to rarely get sick. I am struggling with this a bit.
Me also I got the same after relationship I feel like m 80 year old I got extreme fatigue which I hardly can work feel sleepy all the time white tongue and sore throat didn’t want to go away vision problems and lack of concentration I also got some rush in second day it is horrible m still getting fatigue only some medicine can reduce symptoms
My son got sick a couple weeks ago. Was mild and only missed a day of school. He developed a lump in the submandibular area of his throat and doctor thought it was from previous virus. After a couple of weeks the lump is still there and he started getting fevers and hives. Doctor did blood test and it came back positive but now we have to go get blood work for the lump. Is it possible the lump developed weeks before the rest of the symptoms with mono?
I’m 12 and I am also going through this. I had swollen lymph nodes for a pretty long time and doctors confirmed I had EBV, but I had no other symptoms except for my swollen lymph nodes. How is your son doing?
I just tested POSITIVE w/ MONO…..I thought I had throat cancer before the blood test came back, that is how bad my throat was/is burning and last for about 4-weeks. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
@@shfo875 no, the burning in my throat was my first symptom of mono and now it’s 4 months later and the mono has affected my sensory nerves in my throat and I still get voice fatigue, burning and off and on hoarseness. I have no throat cancer, I’ve been scoped so I wanted to make this clear.
I have CAEBV so I feel like this all the time. 4 lymph removed and 11 years later, they finally tested me for this. No dr could figure it out (except my oncologist) after 12 years.
@@VisceralCarbon lol I am good but still traumatized from having mono. That was the most painful experience of my life. The doctors literally gave me morphine
@@elliecox381 I've just got a mad sore throat and its hard to breath...I'm having to use predisolone tablets. (A steroid to help me breath)...I thought it was because I got astha and I smoked too much on holiday..but it's def a virus Do you think it's this? I got no other symptoms.
@@ant7699 I don’t remember having trouble breathing while I had mono, but I definitely would get whatever that is checked out. Sounds awful, I hope you figure out what it is and get well soon❤️
I’ve had mononucleosis twice. Once as a teen, again around age 38. I live with constant muscular /joint pain & swollen lymph nodes. Have developed issues with moderate to severe environmental allergies over time & now am on immunotherapy. Am always tired. Was never officially diagnosed with EBV but am highly suspicious that I carry it. I have several weeks out if the year where I’m more symptomatic & it usually takes weeks to recover. But I’m never fully recovered. I suffer with fatigue often. I always have elevated ANA levels. I start seeing a rheumatologist soon to explore a possible rheumatoid arthritis & have had a positive juxtaarticular osteoporosis. I think it’s all because if mononucleosis.
At age 21 while in college I became sick with a cold virus. I got over the cold but experienced lasting fatigue. So much so that I had to find ladies rooms on campus that had cots so I could lie down after a class or two. This went on for 3 months!
At first my throat started to hurt so in 3 days I went to the doctor. They tested me for strep and COVID-19 but they were negative. A couple days later and I am in the er. I got tested For strep again and mono. Mono was positive. Now I am here a week into the vires and I hate it.
@@ZayPlaysYT I don't know if it's mono, and it's still ongoing so it hasn't stopped XD I don't know who to ask for help as the meds I've been prescribed by the doctors don't help. I'm gonna get a mono test from blood, an endoscopy and an MRI in two weeks though :) Still worry it's cancer or even something else that is terminal or that will cause chronic pain 24/7. Let's hope it's going to heal some day!
@@Tobi-oi3uf well I hope you get better soon. If your throat hurts really bad, I recommend you try to find a soar throat spray to num the back of your throat. I used it and it helped a lot. It will at least help with that problem so whatever your are suffering through you won’t have pain with it.
I believe I caught mono at a party. I'm 76 years old. In April 2024, I started to feel tired, and had an imperceptible twitch in the corner of my lower right lip, only once in a while. My daughter started to get nearly the same symptoms, except for the twitching, but even worse since she is immune compromised. She confronted me and told me that she caught herpes IV from me. I didn't know what she was talking about. She then explained that I caught mono from one of the women at the party, probably from a woman who talks loud and could have accidentally spat in my drink. After hearing that, I told my friend that, according to my daughter, I had EBV. She then answered that Marie-Jo, the loud woman who sat next to me, had it and passed it on to her daughter and probably to me. All women in my party were vaccinated. I'm not. I believe that Covid vaccine and perhaps those who caught Covid have opened the door to that horrible dormant disease. I had a test and my doctor told me it was negative in spite of being constantly tired. The only moment I'm revived it's when I work in my garden. How weird.
@@saschaesken5524 I don't know what you mean by "40 years too late." However, I can tell you that during my time there were not all those diseases we have now. I recovered from mono after five months. I bought a book on EBV. The book wrote that on the average mono last 16 months. It could last anything from six months to 38 years! I believe my daughter and I never had it except in March 2024. EBV will cause a large panoply of various cancers in the future. This is troublesome. We are going to witness for the next ten years turbo cancers caused by various mRNA vaccines resuscitating EBV virus. I'm glad, I'm 76 now. I wouldn't want to be young again not the way things are going now.
Reactivation is NOT rare. Ask me how I know. If we don't come to grips with what Epstein Barr is capable of once you have an auto immune or some other condition making you less than tip top, we can't move forward with finding better treatments.
I dunno what the hecks wrong with me.. itchy throat for weeks now its sore like i swolled sandpaper.. red dots of soft palate, pain underneath my jaw on my neck right side, headaches, tiredness and feeling unwell on n off. Its still itchy even though sore.. its actually driving me crazy 🤪
Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. It causes these fluids to become thick and sticky. They then plug up tubes, ducts, and passageways.

I have epstein barr virus more than 3 months can I be treated ? I only have fever sore troat pharyngitis +tonsillitis can you help me 🙏 tell me what can i do ?
This might sound silly but was at a pool party and I drank from my next door neighbors water bottle ... I actually grabbed the wrong bottle... I only drink twice... that's her daily water bottle... she does have Epstein-Barr.... Can I have gotten it through the water bottle?
Very much doubt it. Epstein Barr is formed as an immune system reaction to solvents, like the on in lipstick, so you shouldn't worry. Just don't kiss anyone who's wearing lipstick.
I’ve been suffering from it since early 2019 and it’s been back since November 2020 but I’ve never felt healthy after it, like chronic fatigue, my spleen and liver are normal size again they say but my tonsils have been infected since November none stop and it’s the worst..
i have mono right now i was just diagnosed yesterday, i really feeling fine i mean i get a little tired here and there but it’s mainly just my tonsils, their so big i can barely breathe or swallow anything. I don’t know if i should go to the children’s hospital or what
@@lwsw1952 omg you might have a very high gag reflex now constantly, for example if you smell something you don’t like And most likely smoke will irritate it too! That’s really the worst for me 😩 the constant gagging almost throwing up 😢 because tonsils are so big and yucky..
@@lwsw1952 you should definitely rest!!!! Do everything for your health now! And you will feel better in no time and it won’t come back :) full rest is the most important! I hope you get well soon and good luck 🍀🙏
I am 12 and had EBV for quite a long period of time from sharing germs and that stuff. I didn’t have many symptoms except swollen lymph nodes that have been there for a pretty long time as well…
I’m 39 and I’ve never felt this pain. I haven’t kissed anyone except my dog. 😢 my legs hurt so bad. I feel like someone is choking me when I try to swallow my medication 😢

Wow i never thought of it like that. Mines are almost always kissing bc i already have abnormally large tonsils. When sick i have to like hold my throat open Manually if that makes sense. So now its like how im i even still here 😵. Every morning is dreadful to the core
you can share a drink, get a kiss on the cheek or lips by a family member, share a drink, take a bite of someone’s sandwich ect, you don’t need to shame or turn this into a religious sermon
I think I have these virus I have having trouble swallowing foods and drinks and I think my lymph nodes are swollen it's crazy I'm only 25 I having be eating or drink it's crazy and I'm going to a gastronologist in August 4th but I'm about to ask my doctor to send me a pulmonary doctor
When i was 14 years old, i had strep throat, they gave me amoxicillin and my body broke out in hives everywhere. This is how I found out I had mono, I believe I contracted it from a childhood friend who unfortunately had very poor living conditions and my young self did not think to ask my friend to wash her cups and utensils before giving them to me. Now that I am 21 years old, i'm just now finding out mono is a type of HSV. I've been in almost a 2 year relationship and have disclosed my mono diagnosis as a kid, but ever since that initial reaction to the amoxicillin i've never had any issues besides the lifelong fatigue. I'm assuming my partner doesn't know it's a type of HSV, what's the best way to talk about this situation? Great video by the way!!!
I started taking the medication I bought from DOCTOR OKUNABA channel on TH-cam and surprisingly it was working gradually & in 9days everything changed, I'm utterly Excited because you cured my infection Naturally & I pray that God Strengthens you Doctor Okunaba
No, you catch that wrong He is just saying that when you get HODGKIN LYMPHOMA you 50% were infected with ebv And That's logical when you know that 95 % of people are already infected The chance of developing hodgkin lymphoma with ebv is less than 1% I hope you understand and Don't overthink it .
I've been dealing with a sickness for 4 months been to the doctor several times got told different things they finally settled on that I have a rare strand of mono that lasts for months. I'm still sick to this day it flares up some days I'm fine others I'm feeling like death warmed over. You're not alone I hope you feel better by now
@@natsunaine6760me too. I became a hypochondriac, don’t trust any doctor. They assigned me a psychologist to deal with my depression with this shitty virus. I still don’t know if it is only mono because I don’t see any recovery in me. According to drs, i contracted this in march, this year and tested for past ebv infection in may. Like i have weird symptoms. I get swelling on my hands and arms too with shoulder. Sometimes it hurts bad. My throat has 0% improvement from being red.

Had a sickly life since... had all kinds of "diseases" Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Now being worked up for a possible lymphoma with an oncologist. Oh yes and now in kidney failure. I truly don't feel like I will be around very much longer. Also interestingly I read the Medical Medium book and it was like reading my life story of illness from this darned EBV! It has settled in my thyroid so that probably had a hand in my kidneys going south as it is a hyperthyroid so it's like being on too much coffee and high blood pressure. I am more exhausted than I was as a child now but am the sole caregiver to my hubby who has dementia and strokes. His family is very quickly trying to get him placed somewhere as I can't take care of him much longer. This is such an insidious disease!
Your story is sad. I wish you the best.
Are you on Medical Medium protocols? I started 4 months ago and it helps me to feel better but still have some symptoms keeping on going and coming back. It is very difficult to live with. Now, I am going to add some complements that I just bought for reducing the viral charge and hopefully this annoying EBV will get back to silence... Good luck to you!
I have chronic EBV for 6 yrs . I'm 61 an its been horrible dealing with this every day. Has taking a toll on my body for sure. No cure ! Help why isn't this talked about more?? Doctors are clueless! ! So many people suffer from this chronic Epstein Barr
You’re not alone, I’m 12 and I have EBV right now. I have no symptoms except for swollen lymph nodes and it hasn’t gotten away for quite a long time.
@@suzannecrowell9402 you should check médical médium Channel and Anthony William’s books. There is protocols for EBV. Good luck!
I had it for years eventually I count not walk or talk without turning into stone. Dystonia set in. I found a DO dr. The scale in 1 thru 9 I was 8. He gave me 6 ozone treatments plus put vitiamn cocktails back in me. I had no vitiams left it sucked me dry. They put me on keto diet and I have been well for 6 years
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on TH-cam for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.😊🇺🇸❤❤
So if we have mono, we can’t kiss anybody for 6 months because we could still be contagious??
Just got this virus when I've been in my room, and homeschooled for the past year. Crazy
It is a dormant virus
@IStella Sadly, yeah. It was the worst thing I've ever had. But I'm better now. It lasted 3 weeks and after that I was weak for about a month.
@@TheEliteBeats do you have any fatigue issues or muscle pains after sickness and if yes when did they gone away??
@@TheBashar16 Yeah it took 3 weeks to get better. After that I felt weak for about a month. I also lost ten pounds from all the coughing and spitting up.
@@TheEliteBeats wish you a strong recovery man. Did you have any lymph nodes in neck and also in groin btw??
This is very helpful, thank you.
So is there a possibility that we all had it once in our life without knowing if we ever acquired it? Can we get it again ? & the enlarged spleen and liver resolves on its own ?
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Emery Darwin Instablaster :)
@Melvin Erik Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Melvin Erik it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
@Emery Darwin happy to help xD
i currently have strep AND mono, and somehow my throat is fine, but my lymph nodes are absolutely killing me
update: my throat is not fine
I feel you girl
How does your throat makes you feel?
Get well soon.. hope you come with another update that you are safe and sound
Are you okay now about your lymph nodes? Mine make me anxious and kind of baby blues and cabin fever all at once. I’ve had mono for 3 weeks now
@@belmartinez4404 yes i’m okay now! a million times better. i’m so sorry mono is awful. i fully recovered. i am an athlete and i will say it took me a little bit to get back up to where i was before, but i’m good now. you will be okay!
I am 31 years old and got diagnosed yesterday. I feel like I got hit by a train. The fatigue is like nothing I’ve experienced before. Moving around feels like a lot of effort and my limbs just feel achy and heavy. I assume this to be normal for acute mono? I’m usually fairly healthy and used to rarely get sick. I am struggling with this a bit.
How long does it last your symtomps?
Me also I got the same after relationship I feel like m 80 year old I got extreme fatigue which I hardly can work feel sleepy all the time white tongue and sore throat didn’t want to go away vision problems and lack of concentration I also got some rush in second day it is horrible m still getting fatigue only some medicine can reduce symptoms
That’s the term I use as well. Hit by a train. I felt the same way my first bought of it.
My son got sick a couple weeks ago. Was mild and only missed a day of school. He developed a lump in the submandibular area of his throat and doctor thought it was from previous virus. After a couple of weeks the lump is still there and he started getting fevers and hives. Doctor did blood test and it came back positive but now we have to go get blood work for the lump. Is it possible the lump developed weeks before the rest of the symptoms with mono?
I’m 12 and I am also going through this. I had swollen lymph nodes for a pretty long time and doctors confirmed I had EBV, but I had no other symptoms except for my swollen lymph nodes. How is your son doing?
My son also same
I just tested POSITIVE w/ MONO…..I thought I had throat cancer before the blood test came back, that is how bad my throat was/is burning and last for about 4-weeks. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
Same...
Did the lump in your throat come before the rest of the mono symptoms?
@@shfo875 no, the burning in my throat was my first symptom of mono and now it’s 4 months later and the mono has affected my sensory nerves in my throat and I still get voice fatigue, burning and off and on hoarseness. I have no throat cancer, I’ve been scoped so I wanted to make this clear.
I actually had EBV with the tonsilitis, enlarged occipital lymph nodes, tonsillitis, and became jaundice. I wound up with liver failure.
Ok but i have it like 4 months allready and it ain’t cureing at all... and im resting every day and everything nothing helps? Any ideas?
How are you now? I’ve had at for 2 months now
@@VisceralCarbon updste: 2 months after i posted that comment my health improoved and i healed
Any suggestions for swollen lymph nodes and tonsils after 6 weeks?
i m in the same situation right now…did you get rid of that?
Hi the swollen lymph’s are fine but I have neurological problems
I have CAEBV so I feel like this all the time. 4 lymph removed and 11 years later, they finally tested me for this. No dr could figure it out (except my oncologist) after 12 years.
did you get any medication?
Mono is no fucking joke I haven’t slept in weeks
How are you now?
@@VisceralCarbon lol I am good but still traumatized from having mono. That was the most painful experience of my life. The doctors literally gave me morphine
@@elliecox381 I've just got a mad sore throat and its hard to breath...I'm having to use predisolone tablets. (A steroid to help me breath)...I thought it was because I got astha and I smoked too much on holiday..but it's def a virus
Do you think it's this? I got no other symptoms.
@@ant7699 I don’t remember having trouble breathing while I had mono, but I definitely would get whatever that is checked out. Sounds awful, I hope you figure out what it is and get well soon❤️
@@elliecox381 Yeah. Your right. I'll go to the docs Monday. Just got to get through weekend. Hey thanks for replying Ellie.😊 Big respect x
My favorite channel on TH-cam!!
I’ve had mononucleosis twice. Once as a teen, again around age 38. I live with constant muscular /joint pain & swollen lymph nodes. Have developed issues with moderate to severe environmental allergies over time & now am on immunotherapy. Am always tired. Was never officially diagnosed with EBV but am highly suspicious that I carry it. I have several weeks out if the year where I’m more symptomatic & it usually takes weeks to recover. But I’m never fully recovered. I suffer with fatigue often. I always have elevated ANA levels. I start seeing a rheumatologist soon to explore a possible rheumatoid arthritis & have had a positive juxtaarticular osteoporosis. I think it’s all because if mononucleosis.
I was in the same difficulties before he helped me few days ago okay....
Contact Dr Raymond🏃🏃
once you have it you have it.. it does not just go away
If you've had mono, you definitely have EBV, that's what causes it.
Blood test
You should avoid all solvents, since all those problems, and EBV, can be due to solvents, including in make-up, lotions, and Round-up.
Been sick with mono for a week now and i just wanna give up. When does it stop
At age 21 while in college I became sick with a cold virus. I got over the cold but experienced lasting fatigue. So much so that I had to find ladies rooms on campus that had cots so I could lie down after a class or two. This went on for 3 months!
I have a question. Once you catch Mono. Does it stay in your body for life?
Just wondering how many people on here that acquired mono recently also got the new shot??
At first my throat started to hurt so in 3 days I went to the doctor. They tested me for strep and COVID-19 but they were negative. A couple days later and I am in the er. I got tested For strep again and mono. Mono was positive. Now I am here a week into the vires and I hate it.
I have throat pain for 4 months and doctors don't know why :((
@@Tobi-oi3uf so you had mono for that long? Oof. Sorry.
@@ZayPlaysYT I don't know if it's mono, and it's still ongoing so it hasn't stopped XD I don't know who to ask for help as the meds I've been prescribed by the doctors don't help. I'm gonna get a mono test from blood, an endoscopy and an MRI in two weeks though :) Still worry it's cancer or even something else that is terminal or that will cause chronic pain 24/7.
Let's hope it's going to heal some day!
@@Tobi-oi3uf well I hope you get better soon. If your throat hurts really bad, I recommend you try to find a soar throat spray to num the back of your throat. I used it and it helped a lot. It will at least help with that problem so whatever your are suffering through you won’t have pain with it.
@@ZayPlaysYT thanks!

I believe I caught mono at a party. I'm 76 years old. In April 2024, I started to feel tired, and had an imperceptible twitch in the corner of my lower right lip, only once in a while. My daughter started to get nearly the same symptoms, except for the twitching, but even worse since she is immune compromised. She confronted me and told me that she caught herpes IV from me. I didn't know what she was talking about. She then explained that I caught mono from one of the women at the party, probably from a woman who talks loud and could have accidentally spat in my drink. After hearing that, I told my friend that, according to my daughter, I had EBV. She then answered that Marie-Jo, the loud woman who sat next to me, had it and passed it on to her daughter and probably to me. All women in my party were vaccinated. I'm not. I believe that Covid vaccine and perhaps those who caught Covid have opened the door to that horrible dormant disease. I had a test and my doctor told me it was negative in spite of being constantly tired. The only moment I'm revived it's when I work in my garden. How weird.
76 already.
Im 40 years too late
@@saschaesken5524 I don't know what you mean by "40 years too late." However, I can tell you that during my time there were not all those diseases we have now. I recovered from mono after five months. I bought a book on EBV. The book wrote that on the average mono last 16 months. It could last anything from six months to 38 years! I believe my daughter and I never had it except in March 2024. EBV will cause a large panoply of various cancers in the future. This is troublesome. We are going to witness for the next ten years turbo cancers caused by various mRNA vaccines resuscitating EBV virus. I'm glad, I'm 76 now. I wouldn't want to be young again not the way things are going now.
@@LaFanfanTulipe why did you have the " safe and effective" ?
@@saschaesken5524 No way. I was barely vaccinated when I was a child and didn't believe in this covid-19 vaccine mRNA crap.
I have something called HIV, my doctor called me today but idk what it is. Can someone help me?
I think you better get in touch with your doctor again for confirmation of diagnosis and further instructions. Best wishes.
Your doctor didn't tell you about HIV?
Go back to your doc ASAP
How could you not know what hiv is? Where are you from?
Bruh ain't no way you're serious 💀
Reactivation is NOT rare. Ask me how I know. If we don't come to grips with what Epstein Barr is capable of once you have an auto immune or some other condition making you less than tip top, we can't move forward with finding better treatments.
How long after you cop mono do you have to wait to be kissing jits?
six months
I dunno what the hecks wrong with me.. itchy throat for weeks now its sore like i swolled sandpaper.. red dots of soft palate, pain underneath my jaw on my neck right side, headaches, tiredness and feeling unwell on n off. Its still itchy even though sore.. its actually driving me crazy 🤪

What about very dry throat ?
shitty disease 1/10 would not recommend
This might sound silly but was at a pool party and I drank from my next door neighbors water bottle ... I actually grabbed the wrong bottle... I only drink twice... that's her daily water bottle... she does have Epstein-Barr.... Can I have gotten it through the water bottle?
Very much doubt it. Epstein Barr is formed as an immune system reaction to solvents, like the on in lipstick, so you shouldn't worry. Just don't kiss anyone who's wearing lipstick.
If She is in acute phase then yes its possible but its much more rare than normal transmissions. Hope you are feeling well. Cheers.
No my roommate once I just got it drink from it but he didn’t catch any
I’ve been suffering from it since early 2019 and it’s been back since November 2020 but I’ve never felt healthy after it, like chronic fatigue, my spleen and liver are normal size again they say but my tonsils have been infected since November none stop and it’s the worst..
i have mono right now i was just diagnosed yesterday, i really feeling fine i mean i get a little tired here and there but it’s mainly just my tonsils, their so big i can barely breathe or swallow anything. I don’t know if i should go to the children’s hospital or what
@@lwsw1952 omg you might have a very high gag reflex now constantly, for example if you smell something you don’t like
And most likely smoke will irritate it too!

@@lwsw1952 you should definitely rest!!!! Do everything for your health now! And you will feel better in no time and it won’t come back :) full rest is the most important! I hope you get well soon and good luck 🍀🙏

How long did it last for you?
Can anyone tell me the symptoms please in details of what they have been through
I am 12 and had EBV for quite a long period of time from sharing germs and that stuff. I didn’t have many symptoms except swollen lymph nodes that have been there for a pretty long time as well…

Save yourself for marriage people. Mono and STD’s are not fun!
Exactly, i would NEVER get married or having s e./x FOREVER!!!
FK HUMANITY, WE SHOULD ALL JUST PERISH FROM THIS BEUTIFUL EARTH
I would NEVER PRODUCE. NO MORE HOOMAN.
Moni can be acquired if somone cough and u inhale his or his cough particles. It is not about kissing only . Sharing utensils and cups as well
you can share a drink, get a kiss on the cheek or lips by a family member, share a drink, take a bite of someone’s sandwich ect, you don’t need to shame or turn this into a religious sermon
I think I have these virus I have having trouble swallowing foods and drinks and I think my lymph nodes are swollen it's crazy I'm only 25 I having be eating or drink it's crazy and I'm going to a gastronologist in August 4th but I'm about to ask my doctor to send me a pulmonary doctor
When i was 14 years old, i had strep throat, they gave me amoxicillin and my body broke out in hives everywhere.
This is how I found out I had mono, I believe I contracted it from a childhood friend who unfortunately had very poor living conditions and my young self did not think to ask my friend to wash her cups and utensils before giving them to me.
Now that I am 21 years old, i'm just now finding out mono is a type of HSV.
I've been in almost a 2 year relationship and have disclosed my mono diagnosis as a kid, but ever since that initial reaction to the amoxicillin i've never had any issues besides the lifelong fatigue.
I'm assuming my partner doesn't know it's a type of HSV, what's the best way to talk about this situation?
Great video by the way!!!
Mono is one hell of an illness. Please be careful it feels awful to experience mononucleosis.
Who isolated that virus scientifically by goldstandard.
When and where was it published ?????
When we get it it is in us for life causing lots of health issues

I tested positive for mono on 6/19
I still feel horrible
Sore throat
Nausea
Fever and chills
No appetite to eat anything
Today is 7/10
Is this normal?
yes that’s normal im in on 2 weeks it can take up to 4 weeks even
My infection lasted for more than 3 months, and the rash lasted for a month and a half...
Treatment?
So in other words it feels like every other sickness out there 😂
EBV put in childhood 💉💉
Omg 50 percent get lymphoma later on. That sucks
No, you catch that wrong
He is just saying that when you get HODGKIN LYMPHOMA you 50% were infected with ebv
And That's logical when you know that 95 % of people are already infected
The chance of developing hodgkin lymphoma with ebv is less than 1%
I hope you understand and Don't overthink it .
