Any one here diagnosed with Epstein Barr virus? Some symptoms very similar to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Usually accompanied by fever. Wondering if one can have Epstein Barr but not have fever.

A coworker of mine has EB and his symptoms are very similar except for the high fevers. I have heard about the possible connection between it and CFS. Is there a test for the virus? Is it a routine test when you see the rheumatologist for FMS? I don't recall anyone ever mentioning that I was tested for it.

i had mono or epstein barr virus 2 times in high school and i have always wondered from what i have read if that and my fibro are connected? it took me 6 years of going through the doctor pool and being treated like i was crazy to finally find a doctor that told me what i already knew, that i had fibro and cfs. my symptoms i have now, with the tiredness and the flu like symptoms are alot like i felt the weeks i was sick back in school with epstein barr
