I got EBV at university nearly 20 years ago. It laid me on my back for 3 weeks and I was ill for a month or two. I was delirious for so long that I think I actually flipped over into psychotic at one point! I'm bipolar type 2 and have always struggled with intermittent energy levels. Although it took until I was 38 to get a diagnosis and be put on meds that actually work. If only I had had the courage and self belief at 18yo to tell the doctor that the SSRIs made me high for the first 2 weeks and then made me worse. Sigh. Anyway back to EBV. I think it took me years to get back to 'normal'. And to some small extent I think I have less energy than I used to. But it's nothing life limiting and it's mild enough to be psychogenic.
