EBV...

About 2 months ago, all of this started with overwhelming fatigue. I used to work out 5 days a week, but now if I try to exercise like I used to, I’m so exhausted for the rest of the day. I also went through a few weeks where I could barely eat anything and ended up losing about 15 pounds. My energy is still pretty low. I never had the classic mono symptoms like a fever or sore throat, but I do have multiple swollen lymph nodes throughout my neck.
Then, about a week ago, something really scary happened. I developed sudden, severe abdominal pain, and within a short time my vision went completely black for about a minute. It was terrifying. When my vision came back, I immediately threw up and was sweating profusely. I got into a cold bath, and after a while I started feeling better. The whole episode was so strange that I finally went to the doctor, and that’s when they ran blood work and I got these results back…
Has anyone else had a similar experience with EBV? I know everyone’s symptoms can be different, but I wasn’t expecting all of this without the typical sore throat or fever. I’m especially curious if anyone had prolonged fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, or that kind of severe abdominal episode.

Has anyone had similar symptoms... I have an up coming follow up and want to be prepared with what to ask for. Please any advice is greatly appreciated... it takes a long time to get a dr appointment so I don't want to waste this opportunity.
