Hi scmommato3,
I am run down as well. Now I haven't experienced all you have. I didn't even know I had ever had epstein barr to be able to have a flare up however in December I had to take Amoxicillin for what they though was a sinus infection but turned out was an abscess in my tooth. After a week of that dentist switched me to Clindamyacin. I've read that it's known that Amoxicillin can induce a flare up of ebv. Didn't think to test myself for ebv in December.
My mouth was extremely dry and irritated and white tongue and white near my tonsils. on 12/10/13 i returned to the ER and he prescribed Doxycycline Hyclate MG and Clotrinazole Troche 10 MG. my head ache, fatigue is gone. Now i have painful tiny clear blisters near my tonsils. I also have white on the back sides of my mouth and white tongue. The medication is gradually helping but not as fast as i wish. i feel something is stuck on my throat. Can you tell me what is occurring?
white spots on my tonsils,pink eye, mild fever off and on, cough, swollen glands and lymph nodes in my neck, and one behind my ear and diarrah. also I started having pain in testies and after getting off. I had a negitive strep and mono spot test, but too ammox just in case. it went away in about 3 days,but have had a sore throat for 3 months and swollen tonsils and glands and SOB or at least pressure in chest area that comes and goes.
Hi—I’m on week 5 of acute reactive EBV and am curious about the results of the cleanse from the Medically medium book. I read it and am skeptical. I am also a single mom of two kids and missing a month’s paycheck is, well, challenging to say the least. I NEED to work, but the symptoms aren’t getting better.
by the time we reach 40, 90% of us has had ebv. it's incredibly common and most of us don't get ill enough from it when infected to even think twice about it. it's not a part of routine testing except for pregnancy.
no, you won't get ebv again, you already have it.
If I suspect Mono, and took a 3 day course of Amoxicillin (10 pills) and developed no rash, can I pretty much rule out mono?
Some sources state 80-90% of those taking Amoxicillin with Mono develop the rash, while I've even seen 99% as a percentage.
I actually want it to be Mono, instead of something worse, but I'm starting to fear the worst.
Have any of you had Mono, been misdiagnosed with Strep and took Amoxicillin, and NOT get the rash?
Hi, I would say pitterpat69's answers were all correct, with the exception that EBV can be transmitted anytime, by anyone who has been infected. As pitterpat69 said, when someone is asymptomatic, the chances of transmitting infection are much lower; however, the possibility is still there (maybe that is what she said, and I just read it wrong?).
Today, nine days after beginning to feel sick, I visited my doctor and was prescribed Amoxicillin 875mg tabs to be taken twice a day for the next ten days. My doctor believes I have a sinus infection, hence the Amoxicillin prescription. I did not mention my unsafe sexual encounter to my doctor and I am not having any outward symptoms of any kind of STD.
My question is, can you tell me what if any STD the Amoxicillin would cure if I did contract one from my friend?
There is no connection between amoxicillin and Hepatitis C. Sorry you relapsed. What treatment were you on?
I have the EBV too, in my body and it reactivates and I can tell when it does, so yes, you can be diagnosed with EBV. I was. The EBV stays in your body always. For some people, they will never know. For others, like me and sounds like you, it will reactivate from time to time and cause issues with your immune system. If you look it up on the internet, there is lots of interesting reading.
I just joined this forum and have a question regarding my EBV tests and Valcyte. My doctor wants me to start Valcyte for my elevated HHV6 and EBV antibody levels. I will post them and if anyone here has any thoughts on them I would very much appreciate it. I know this isn't an HHV6 forum but I will post the test results as well.
HHV6 Ab IgG 21.44 (range 0.1-1.
I was diagnosed with EBV a few years ago, last week I tested positive for Herpes (not sure HSV1 or 2, my appt to go over results is tomorrow). I know that the EBV and HSV are in the same herpesvirus family, but is it possible that I tested positive for Herpes because of the EBV? Like, could it be that I in fact do not have Herpes, and the EBV made a false positive? I've never had a sympton of Herpes, or atleast one that I have noticed.
I am trying to get my daughter to take Amoxicillin for a throat infection. She won't swallow the capsule. Is it ok to break the pink and blue A45 Amoxicillin capsule in half and mix it in applesauce?
This sounds like it has 100% to do with the Amoxicillin, and not Mono combined with Amoxicillin and so forth.
Amoxicillin can cause joint pain although this is not a common side effect, but can occur and should NOT be permanent, but temporary.
If this hasn't subsided, this definitely needs to be further investigated by your physician.
I have also been very stress. went to my doctor and tested positive for EBV, but tested negative on monospot test. She informed that I had a re active of EBV never recall having mono anyway. My questions are
1. can a active EBV delay Hiv antibodies( I know if you have a depress inmmuine systems that it can does EBV fall into that category)
2. I have read online that EBV never flares back up unless you have encounter another sickness. is that true?
3.
good morning. First off I am not a physician and this is just my personal opinion from ebv research. If you were "diagnosed" with ebv 2 days ago I assume that you had an EBV antibody titer panel done to confirm the diagnosis. If not, you might consider asking about this to provide additional, relevant information. Hope you start feeling better soon.
Is strenuous exercise contraindicated when taking amoxicillin?Also, is sun exposure a factor, and if so, how long after you complete the round of antibiotics should you wait before you are able to go back out in the sun?
It sounds like you have EBV virus induced CFS. EBV is notorious for causing peripheral neuropathy and autonomic system disorder which are the symptoms you describe. I had all this tested at a special neurodiagnostic lab and that's what I have. It sounds like you're taking all the right meds. There's also these stocking you can wear. google peripheral neuropathy treatments. Also check out a dr who'll treat your ebv/cfs with anti virals such as valacyclovir or valcyte.
Hi, Sarah. Thanks to Bob for his pulling out the latest scientific info, but what I think you are asking is are elevated EBV levels common in MS. The answer is Yes and No.
About 96% of the population of had the EB viral infection and have lifelong antibodies to it. So that obviously includes PwMS (Persons with MS). In general, PwMS have higher levels than the general population, but this is not always true as Bob notes.
