Hi Renae,
My "story" started a year ago when I had infectious mononucleosis caused by the
epstain bar virus. This is a shelf cured decease that has mild symptoms, but if
you are more than 30 yo then it is hard to overcome (I am 37 yo). At that time
symptoms indicated that I had a rather difficult course. After one month I was
cured, but my voice was a little bit different, I could not finish a big
sentence without breathing in the middle and my throat hurt me a little. After
one month I had a rash all over the body. It was flat, of faint pink color,
without pain or etching, spots were of irregular curved shapes with a great
variation in size (0.5-5 cm). No diagnosis was made and the rash disappeared
after 3-4 months. Then after 10 months I had TM. I know that the epstain bar
virus may reactivate latter that's why I am trying to find anything about it.
Greetings to you and Rick and merry christmas
