I think there is a test for EB.... and I know there is a test for Zoster because I had that one.
Because my shingles were an unexpected presentation, my doctor tested my antibodies to both H. simplex and zoster.
I had almost no simplex...and was off the high end report for zoster. (my doctor said she has never seen a person with so little simplex, and most people test very positive for that one. I have never had a cold sore, etc).
I had mono in college, a severe case. So I suspect I have elevated EB too. When my right arm starts to hurt, I start the lysine, and it seems to help.
Perhaps you didn't take enough? Some people take several grams of it daily. For my little kitten the vet suggested 100mg in food twice a day.
