Mono/ebv, crohn's and lymphoma?

So, I was diagnosed with mono last year and I had gotten so much worse-- my ebv levels skyrocketed and a week after (this was in February probably) I was retested by another clinic and they saw no trace. A month later I started feeling normal again and continued to until a week or two ago. I admit I was in a small car accident (though nobody was injured except for the car) but I feel the exact same as when my mono/ebv was at the worst.

Reading online about symptoms isn't the best idea, I know, but I do know ebv can lead to lymphoma especially for those who have a weak immune system (and since I have crohn's, I do). I was told one can only get mono once (but will stay with you or something). I'm just worried about why I am feeling so sick again.

I know not everyone here is a medical expert but anyone have ideas? I plan on calling my gynecologist (who was the one that found high ebv levels in a blood test and I don't have a pcp just a gi and gyn) tomorrow.
 
I was diagnosed with mono before I got my crohns diagnosis. Im not saying this is the case and you most def should discuss with your doc as they are the only people able to give you sound advice. But mono can repeat. Its not common but I often feel like I have mono again, its almost as though my body never 100% overcame it in the first place.

Good luck I hope ur dr can give you an answer with a treatment.
