Good article SjoGirl. It seems like Epstein Barr is frequently mentioned in the causative factor in many auto immune diseases.  I had it when I was 19 or so. I think a lot of us had it.

I would have to go back through my records, but I think a former hematologist told me that I had it at one point. Infections certainly seem to be a factor.
