Symptom #3: Fatigue

Fatigue is usually the first Epstein Barr Virus symptom. However, you cannot rely on fatigue alone to decide that you have EBV. This is because of the lengthy incubation period. The fact of possible contact with infected body fluids may have faded from memory. The fatigue is also too mild at the beginning for you to take notice.

Besides, conditions like flu and the common cold also present with fatigue in addition to other symptoms. This is further compounded by the presence of other Epstein Barr Virus symptoms like fever and sore throat which also occur in the flu. For this reason, when fatigue first appears, you may assume that you are experiencing the common cold or flu.
