Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I would have absolutely no idea whether or not I had EB, Mono, because noone has ever tested ne for it. I do know that it can be tested to see whether or not you have had it, even after the fact. I don't know whether it leaves behind certain antibodies or what, can't remember that part.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 You may have had it, but thought nothing of the symptoms. They are able to test for indicators of having had the virus, even though it may have been long ago. Re: Re: mononucleosis > I've not had mono, but in 1995 when I first complained about all those symptoms and first had a thyroid screening, I did test positive for Epstein-Barre virus. No one thought much of it. I wasn't sure why it was tested for because nothing was ever said about it, just that it was positive. > > Roxanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 If Fibromyalgia is an autoimmune disease to itself, then it had to have an antibody or an autoantibody to go with it. Which antibody do we test for?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 There was never such a disease until the advent of synthetic T4 meds and TSH testing as a determination of low thyroid.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 H i, , I've read that it used to be called something else. Fibrositis, or something like that I think. But I don't know how far it goes back. in Va. There was never such a disease until the advent of synthetic T4 meds and TSH testing as a determination of low thyroid.
