After being on all of these vitamins and off gluten for six weeks, I was hoping to feel so much better. Unfortunately, I feel the same. As I have been talking with people about my progress, I have had some interesting conversations about the Epstein Barr virus. For some people, once they have this virus, their energy is never the same. Apparently, the only thing that can help is to get more sleep and avoid stress. I am now wondering if it is the stress of caring for a child with a chronic disease that has caused the Epstein Barr to flare up and reduce my energy. It has also been suggested that Epstein Barr can mask a Lyme Disease diagnosis.
Where do I go from here? Well, since I have such terrible spring allergies, I will continue with the regimen that I am on until the pollen count dies down. I could feasibly still be feeling sick because of my allergies. Also, I will have a follow up appointment with Dr. Pouliot to see how she feels I should proceed.
