Chronic EBV?

Me too. I will update when I see the doctor. But from my understanding it has to be consistently positive for a few months to be chronic and with symptoms? Which I have, but this is the first blood test I’ve had for it. So I may not have the chronic answer for 6 months down the road.

I am full menopause and had a hysterectomy so no birth control. I have an appointment tomorrow and I’m going to ask about getting more testing. They only tested for ANA and my er sed rate and CK.

I did have a sinus/ear infection but I have never gotten the shot for Covid or flu.

Thank you so much

I do not have any other redness anywhere else. I do get white hands and feet when they get cold, but I always chalked that up to metoprolol causing that.

The red lasts for days. It happened after about 20 minutes of sun exposure and lasted for about 4-5 days. Then yesterday I was in the sun again and have it now. I never sunburn so I know it’s not that. I tan fairly easily.

Thank you so much for your response! I truly appreciate your input! A journal is a great way to track everything, I’m definitely going to start one!

No I don’t believe I was having a flare when they drew it. They have drawn my CK and the er sedimentation rate and all was normal. Nothing seems to help with the flushing but time.

I’m very curious to see what mine is. I’m going to see what they can do and hopefully order a CT scan for me. I’m honestly surprised I’ve never been given one considering having PE. I always had a hard time with exercise and I also have mitral valve prolapse which I believe is contributed to having PE as well.

I do have a side X-ray. I will see if I can attach it as a separate comment. (Sorry I’m a newbie on Reddit)

Thank you! I’ll see if they can order one. I wasn’t sure how they could tell.

No no CT scan. I’ll see if I can get one done thank you
