I HAD INECTIOUS mono when I was 18. Did well but this infectious mono showing on all my records. Than MS came and that made me wonder. I do read a lit about this EBV. Also had treatment for cancer. Years went by and this MS started to cause me troubles about 3 years ago.

Since over 90% of adults have been infected with EBV, most adults will show antibodies to EBV from infection years earlier. High or elevated antibody levels may be present for years and are not diagnostic of recent infection.

Here in the UK Epstein-Barr virus gets called Glandular Fever, and although it can be miasmic in effect, There is no known cure or vaccine to prevent its spread of the virus. Any treatment given addresses relatively short-lived (2-4 weeks) overt post-onset symptoms rather than the cause.
The term 'miasmic' means that, once infected with the virus, it can live on in the body in a dormant state, being reactivated via stress and aggravating
weaknesses in the immune system. 😠

@A MyMSTeam Member, I don't believe there's a treatment for it unfortunately.
