Can Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) be the Cause of Your Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Anyone can contract EBV, including young children and young adults. Most people will recover fully within a few weeks to several months, but fatigue may persist for an extended time in some cases and can flare up many years later.

EBV is a herpes virus that causes an illness called Epstein-Barr syndrome, which has touched or affected 90% of the population. EBV spreads through bodily fluids, blood, saliva, sex, or something as simple as drinking from the same glass during a contagious,  period.

There are approximately four stages of EBV; once contracted, the virus lives permanently in your body. Symptoms can activate anytime during your lifetime. According to the Medical Medium, Anthony Williams, the four stages are:

Stage one: EBV replicates and fortified itself 

Stage two: Shows up as mononucleosis (mono), Also known as the “kissing virus” among college kids.

Stage three: EBS lives in the major organs while producing neurotoxins, dermatoxins, byproducts, and corpses damaging organ functions further. 

Stage four: EBV inflames the central nervous system, which can develop into mystery illnesses and autoimmune diseases such as Lupus, thyroid problems, Rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel syndrome, digestive problems, multiple sclerosis, etc.

Your Central Nervous System Can Shut Down During CFS Flair Up

In stage 4, once the central nervous system is inflamed (often caused by stress and anxiety), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) sets in. Some experience ongoing symptoms of fatigue, muscle weakness, and cognitive difficulties that persist for months or even years later.

EBV symptoms can vary in severity but typically include the following:

• Fatigue: One of the most common symptoms, especially in the early stages of infection, and can be chronic in later stages.
• Fever: Fever is common, either low fever or fever above 100 degrees
• Sore throat: Painful or scratchy throat.
• Swollen lymph nodes: Swelling in the neck, underarms, or groin 
• Muscle weakness: EBV can cause muscle aches, especially in the legs and back.
• Maculopapular rash A skin rash may develop and cover parts of the body.
• Headache: Some people with mono may experience headaches.
• Loss of appetite: Some people may lose their appetite and have trouble eating.

Don’t Let Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Run Your Life

EBV symptoms usually appear 4 to 6 weeks after exposure to the virus and can last for several weeks. Mono is highly contagious during the virus incubation up to 18 months after recovery. Some may have mild EBV symptoms, while others will have symptoms that will impact their daily activities. Regardless of the severity of the virus, it is highly contagious during the first 4-6 weeks when symptoms are not present yet. If you suspect you have mono, see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment. 

Reflexology Can Quiet Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet and hands to stimulate all body functions. In my reflexology practice, I have helped clients relieve chronic fatigue by reducing stress and promoting relaxation to improve energy levels while reducing pain. While reflexology can alleviate symptoms, it should not be used as a substitution for conventional medical treatment. If you have symptoms of EBV, see traditional medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment. 

The most effective way to treat EBV is to manage symptoms, allow time for the body to heal, and manage your expectations. You might expect to take medications to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.
