That's my story!!!  I had mono at 17. Then a recurrence, which was very
high EBV in the blood, at 32. And around a year later (after a year of
exhuastion and weight gain which I think was the onset of hashimoto),
they found the Hashimoto. And ever since then, I've had a low-grade
fever as my afternoon high temp (99.5 is "normal" for me around 4 p.m.).

Okay, guys, does anyone else wish as much as I do that we could
commission research here? Sounds like there is definitely a
relationship.

Also, my mother swears that when I was a kid, she always knew I was sick
because my lymph glands in the neck would get swollen. "Every time you
were sick, it'd go to your glands," she tells me in unscientific
mom-talk.  Anyone else had this "diagnosis" from mom?
