Does anyone have any thoughts on if you have a western blot that has a IGG positive and a IGM with 10 bands but also has had tests for

Epstein Barr, and Cytomegalovirus, and HH6. If all of these are elevated then is there any way to know what makes you feel so rotten?

Mostly the all over weakness that is a flue like feeling. Would that be from Lyme of the other virus?

I realize this is a question that cannot be truly answered but I have my first appt with a LLD in a couple of weeks.

I just don't want it to be these virus and he may not be able to help me.
This is a awful feeling.

Every time I have had the EBV, CMV test they are high sometimes with IGG and then CMV had been both IGG & IGM.

I have taken everything under the sun for these virus but never an antibiotic so please just give me some thoughts.

At the onset of my son's illness when we were still running from duck to duck, he was hospitalized for a week. They did a myriad of tests and his EPV was active, and ANA was high, along with a positive monospot, and high IgG.

They thought it was viral, but we know better now. It was lyme, and it completely threw these ducks off-track.

Thank You,
I guess that gives me a little more hope knowing that someone else had these virus along with the lyme.

It's just that I have known about them for a long time but not the lyme.

This feeling of weakness and flue like achy is so different because it is not like I am weaker in strength but like you would feel if you didn't eat for a week but about 10 times worse. The achy is not a pain ach so I never know if I am describing it correctly.

Hi there Suttles,

I've got Lyme, EBV and Mycoplasma. Have been on orals for 8 months and am better.

I had muscle fatique before treatment and at the beginning of treatment this worsened.

Don't lose heart though because after 3-4 months I started to recover.

Now I cut the grass and do some heavy duty cleaning.

Got the ok to return to work too and to start working out again slowly.

I've never taken anything for the viral infection.

Hope this helps.

I have active Lyme. Had CMV and EBV in the past.

There really is no way to tell which of these is making you feel so rotten, (probably all) except to begin treating the Lyme with abx first. After you treat the Lyme you will start to feel better. Then your immune system will hopefully be able to better handle the EBV (which about 90% of the adult population has) and other viruses.

Lyme definitely will cause weakness - mine is a million times worse than when I had mono.
