Subject: Epstein Barr Virus

I didn't know until 2 months ago that I am a carrier of this virus. And then would have not known if I Had not went to my hospital and asked for my lab results. The Dr. that I was seeing did not bother to tell me of this virus. I came home and looked this virus up. Was I surprised to find that it can cause several different cancers. I had cancer 21 years ago, so you can understand my interest in finding out all that I can. For the past 8 months I have been suffering from bone aches, headaches, vision problems, and night sweats, along with having 0% energy. But I was told that I have fibromyalgia. I can't help but wondering what else didn't he tell me? Now,I have found a knot on the left side of my neck.
