Let's share CBC results

Thank you Craig. I appreciate your kind words. My currents symptoms are: dizziness, feeling drunk and spaced out, scalp sensitivity and heavy and puffy area above eyes. 

Yes it is so strange it can do all sorts of weird things to your body....just hoping that things can settle down soon.....wish it was easier - hang in there there is still lots of hope for recovery.

Craig

Hope that things improve for your Kurt, they still can and it just seems to be for some it takes longer than others - I still had a number of symptoms after 1 year but into the second year things got much better.

Craig

What symptoms were you experiencing as this is doing my head in haha, ive had extensive testing done to try find an issue as my EBV test only showed previous infection

Oh well throughout the virus I had all sorts of symptoms from low grade running fever (ALL the time), sore and swollen glands in my neck and other parts of my body, feeling tired and wiped out all of the time, and just generally not feeling well within myself.

Things will get better Kurt, they really will - I didn't think I would recover from it but God was merciful and compassionate - your body resilience will come back I truly believe.

Craig

I've started having symptoms in April. Got tested in August. Igm was negative at that point. 

What are your symptoms?

Repeated sore throat, difficulty swallowing and viruses, enlarged lymph nodes, fstigue, dizziness plenty more

Craig is right. I have been dealing with this virus for 14 months. I have had all the weird symptoms. I had extreme fatigue, puffy eyes, joint pain, insomnia, brain fog, swollen spleen, etc. I was diagnosed with cfs. Craig has always been here with encouraging words. I am starting to see some improvements. Starting to sleep some and vision is starting to get better. This is a terrible virus, but hopefully in time I will fully recover.

Hi Brent, for how long you've had puffy eyes? I have puffy eyes too

Hey Brent,

What an awful time you have been through, I'm glad to hear that starting to see some improvements, that is a positive thing and yes still fully believing that you will make a complete recovery - you won't have to go through another year like the last one, things will get better from here hang in there - thinking about you.

Craig

Thinking about you too Gee....hang in there - hoping for a good day and settled period for you - you will make a full recovery I really believe.

Craig

So what symptoms have you had for that long though? Cause im seriously done with this i feel like im actually dieing

Hi Kurt,

The tiredness (feeling wiped out a lot), low grade fever and the swollen lymph nodes, especially a reactive gland in my neck, were the symptoms that lasted the longest for me - but they all do go away I really sympathise and sincerely hope you can see some improvement soon.

Craig

How long did those symptoms persist for you?

Glad your feeling better though!

I had real puffy eyes for several months. I had extreme insomnia right after that. Puffy eyes went away after I started getting some sleep.

I went through a lot. I went through a divorce and got a tick Bourne illness and mono at the same time. I have also worked through most of the illness. My advice is if you don't have to work stay at home! My sickness has lasted longer because I did work. My biggest problem is fatigue and vision issues. Also brain fog. I classify as a cfs case. I am starting to see some improvements though. I feel worse in the mornings. I will have a couple of good days were I will do a lot, but I pay for it for several days afterwards. Rest,time and patience is all we have against this virus.

It's hard to recall exactly Kurt as it was about 10 years ago, but I remember that it wasn't until about 10 months that I really started to feel some decent progress, and gradually after that period things got better but it still did take some time and I had a long phased return to work but things did come bit by bit.

Craig

Oh okay than. Im just trying to get to the bottom of whats going on with me thats all.. i seem to be a medical mystery as all doctors i see cant find a problem

Kurt, do you have any CBC of liver enzymes abnormalities?

Also, any neurological symptoms?

I had one test with abnormal liver enzymes, and what sort of neurological symptoms? Why do you ask

I've asked because you said you have a mysterious disease.

Yeh for over a year ive had multiple problems that doctors cant seem to narrow down 

Hi Kurt my neck is so painful! Do u find yours if warmer on one side? Xxx

What other problems have u had? I could write a book!!!!??? Xxx

Hi rosanna, how are you? 

I could write a book aswell! Haha might be easier to just private message me so we dont clog this forum haha 

How do u private message? I'm on fb as Rosanna Baggalley, I believe I'm the only one with that name. Pic is wedding day. Xx
