Under what circumstances did you discover the Epstein-Barr virus (doctor, internet…)?

During a blood test.

How did you react?

I was worried.

What are your symptoms? How are you supported (doctor, family, association…)?

The symptoms are intense fatigue and a recurring flu-like illness. How does the Epstein Barr virus affect your daily life? I can’t work because of the fatigue, even part-time work is difficult to cope with.

Why do you think it is important to raise awareness about the virus?

It is important to raise awareness of the virus in order to advance research.

Would you like to share anything else about your experience?

It’s very isolating, others don’t understand our condition.
