Can it take over 6 months to get over ebv and all of the joint pains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
EBV recovery: It can take 6 months or more to recover from EBV-mono. Research has shown that the EBV-virus is actually present in your blood for about 90 days. Depending on the status of your immune system and your lifestyle(diet, sleep pattern, stress level) it can last even up to l-2 years.
