At 19 (guess that makes me a teenager still!) I got hit very hard by mono, which lasted about 2 weeks and was the worst illness/pain I've lived through. Literally, every part of me was in pain and I slept for 2 weeks solid.

I have one of the most definite cases of MS that my doctors had ever seen, but never had EBV. Years ago I was tested for it more than once when I might have been exposed to it in college, but I never tested positive.

P.S. But there's no vote for that.

I got an "instant" dx of both MS & HNPP in July, 2003, but had likely had MS for at least 30 years by then. I've never taken any prescription meds for either MS or MS symptoms (except 1 yr on LDN).

Hi Susan!

I didn't realize that you're on this board until I saw this post of yours. Nice to "see" you again!
