Eppstein Barr

[Guest guest]

I saw my rheumy this week. I am now taking 900mg of neurontin a day

for my neuropathy pain. I can now walk without my cane!! We had a

discussion about the current decline in my health. Since my major

flare last January, I've had one bad spell after another. My dr. said

she believes my bariatric surgery has some part in the decline in my

health. She doesn't know if it is the difference in absorption of the

meds or what. Does anyone else who's had bariatric surgery experience

anything like this? Also, she had blood work done to check me for

Eppstein Barr Syndrome. Does anyone know what this is? What is the

relevance of this syndrome to lupus and RA? Thanks for listening!!

Thank you for this very helpful information on Eppstein Barr. I'll

have to begin my education on yet another disorder. I am really

thankful for this support group. God bless each of you. Each of us

is suffering our own pain but together we are strong!
