So I was recently diagnosed with Epstein Barr after I couldn't ride more than 2 laps without being completely exhausted and went to the doc. I was feeling pretty tired for 2 weeks, then had this ridiculous weekend, was sick for one week and now this week I feel ok. (was still exercising in the first week, 2nd week only recovery and rested the last 2 weeks) But I'm out of breath when I run down the stairs for the phone...
Doc says another 8 weeks of doing NOTHING. Does anyone have experience with this? I know a couple of guys like Tonus and Reed had it as well.
It would be a major bummer if there wasn't anything I could do because it's already driving me mad. Apart from the fact that I put in so much work this year and was looking to turn it around in the 2nd half of the season.
Thanks guys!

I did nothing for two months. I slept all the time.
The Shop
1) Adopting a low-fat, mostly plant based diet with a higher ratio of Lysine to Arginine (amino acids.) This stops feeding the bio-film that protects the virus, bacteria, fungi, protozoa; including chronic lyme from your immune system. Most people get better by eating this way. I know from experience after seeing a specialist who treated his patients on this diet with remarkable results. Low fat is the main thing. If you have meat, boil it and wash out all the fat.
2) Having access to a hyperbaric chamber, and/or ozone therapy.
3) Saunas; Stimulates immune system; biofilm/viruses don't like high heat temperature change.
4) Meditation/Prayer: Don't underestimate this. It is proven mindful mediation and prayer strengthens the immune system and white blood cell production, reduces physical/mental stress, etc. None of these things work without God.
(Switch On Your Brain by Dr. Caroline Leaf.)
5) Antiviral/antibiotics like Olive Leaf Extract (Herb Pharm), and raw garlic if needed.
Sorry i have no experience with epstein bar, hope you recover quickly
Other than that I feel normal, I'm just out of breath a lot faster than normal.
I think I got it from my new girlfriend, not from overtraining because I took my time to rest and felt really, really goof before it happened. (On the websites that I looked up, it's also called kissing or student disease because of that)
And for maxc811, I'm from Germany so I don't really know what kind of tests they're doing. I probably should look for a specialist as well, because this is the local doctor and she doesn't seem to have a lot of experience with this.
Revealeroftruths, I will try some of those things, they sound like they could speed this up a little bit. Thank you! (I'm pretty sure I would have gotten almost the exact same answer from ryno if I asked him haha)
Gogglefriend: almost haha! We have a house telephone downstairs. Obviously it's wireless and everything, but it can't fly
Fast forward to 2015, I had moved on and just kind of got used to how I felt. I moved away for a job out of state and still just did not feel right. I came home a weekend about 4 months after moving away and my family said i just looked weak. My uncle is a doctor, and sent me in for bloodwork out here, and it turned out I still had never gotten over mono. It was still in my system (it never truly leaves) and my body was fighting it. I got put on all kinds of supplements and vitamins and basically detoxed for a few months, slept well, took it easy, and just tried to heal. Afterwards I felt like a completely new person, I had better stamina than before and more energy, I was able to go to the gym again and all that without feeling like i was going to pass out or fall over.
So yes listen to the doctor, drink plenty of fluids, rest, and be as healthy as you can be for the next few weeks. I tried to rush back into my normal life and the affects lingered for two years. Today I feel as good if not better than before I had Mono. Hope you feel better and make a full recovery.
I got cleared for relaxed cycling in my recovery heart rate zone and it feels good physically. It's even better mentally though, haha.
They'll analyze my blood again in early September so I'll see how the progress is.
Thanks again to everyone, I'm a lot more conscious about the seriousness of this virus and the importance of resting!
