No, my husband never got B12 shots, although those can (I've learned) be helpful for fatigue, especially if you also have gut issues.lazyace wrote:I'm glad to hear your hubby recovered! It's so confusing because some docs are telling me that EBV recovery is rarely more than two months. Because my infection is either active or very recent, it makes it almost impossible to discern whether this has been the cause for the last seven months, especially if it is true that it only takes two months to recover. I have been reading about cases like your husband's, where folks were down for 6-12 months. Did he ever get vitamin B-12 shots? I have read that some people with EBV have gotten them. I take a multivitamin but maybe that isn't enough?
He takes a 100mg B complex, and a high potency multi-vitamin. I can ask him to write down what-all he's taking now, if you are interested.
At one point, about 4 months in, he was at the doc and they took his blood pressure. It was something like 70/40, and my husband observed that there were probably corpses with higher blood pressure. Realize this was after he'd walked briskly into the office....!
Just a recommendation: take your B12 first thing in the morning. It's a melatonin antagonist, and if you take it at night, it will give you insomnia like the dickens.
