EBV: The reason I've been so fatigued
K, im finally ready to tell ya'll what I have & why I've been so fatigued.
But before that I think it's important I share a little backstory & why its always scary for me to feel "tired".
In 2011, I was told "you have an undiagnosable autoimmune disorder. You just have to live with it"
For YEARS I suffered from severe eczema, chronic fatigue, insomnia and even mild depression (even tho I was this bubbly happy girl).
It took YEARS of seeing dermatologists, specialists, allergists before I finally found a doctor to help diagnose me.
I discovered I had mercury toxicity and gluten intolerance.
I went the holistic route and made radical lifestyle changes, did IV chelation therapy, and massive detox through supplements.
Then from 2014-2018 I felt amazing. I became a wellness coach & helped other busy corporate girls like me get fit and stay fit.
But over the past year, despite optimizing my nutrition & fitness my body has felt a little off.
Turns out, I've "awoken" Epstine Barr virus or (#EBV). It's a virus that 95% of us have that lies dormant but under the right conditions can become active again.
And to my dismay, modern medicine has the same answers for me as they did for me i the past. "There's nothing you can really do but rest and hope it goes dormant. Or we can give you an anti-depressant if you want?"
err, no thanks.
I'm going to go the #holistic route and kill this virus, but it's honestly really scary for me to get news from an MD that so closely mimics my medical story from 2011.
BUT what excites me about this? I've learned SO MUCH about EBV and it's impact on us and society. EBV is the cause of many illnesses that modern medicine hasn't figured out yet!
#Fibro, #MS, and a ton of #autoimmunedisorders.
✨&& this time, I've got a platform to share my journey and hopefully help someone else who is battling fatigue and modern medicine's unhelpful diagnosis.✨
So, get ready for me to DEEP dive into liver function, holistic treatments and healing your body with food & herbs....and let's freaking NERD out till we get this body BACK to 100%.
thanks for all your love & support fraands.
