If you ever had mono as a kid, you know what EBV is all about. However, few people know that it can recur later in life, and not necessarily just with that infamous sore throat. I'd suggest you might like to put "epstein-barr virus" or "chronic fatigue syndrome" in on yahoo or a search engine and just read up on it a bit. my doc says a reactivated EBV is what I had when I thought I had hiv.
