Thank you I have had this exact issue over three years now. It is beyond frustrating. Exhausted all the time. Wake up that way. Luckily for me I had a “friend” tell me it’s because I got “the shot” and that I don’t know what my brother died from. The week of the anniversary of his death. It was COVID. Not sure how the helps me at all, but I guess it made her feel powerful. We are no longer friends.
Thank you for sharing, and I hope you are able to cope with your health and the loss of your brother. The anti-vaccine sentiment is indeed quite prevalent and oftentimes, we just can't see eye to eye with each other.
Very interesting, thanks for writing this. Is EBV infection found "everywhere"? Meaning, are there parts of the world where EBV infection is uncommon? (Thinking of places like highland New Guinea which have had less contact with the outside world until recently)...
EBV can spread as simply as sharing kitchen utensils. Once infected, it stays permanently in the body in a dormant state, often without causing symptoms, which likely explains its high prevalence worldwide.
Yeah, EBV is ancient and has been around for millions of years. In fact, the herpesvirus family (EBV is a type of herpesvirus) is among the oldest known groups of viruses known to infect humans.

Thanks for commenting as well. I briefly checked and it seems that EBV is indeed found everywhere in the world, including New Guinea:

Thanks - so that makes one think it is a very OLD disease?
