[@fatguyalwayseats]

@@Irahhtanwhy? Would would this person gain from these tests?

[@Irahhtan]

Beacuse u move forward with differential diagnosis is mind not with a tunnel vision

[@CocoTheDiamond]

me too! i just tested positive for cmv.

[@CocoTheDiamond]

i just tested positive for CMV through seeing infectious disease doctors bc of fevers lasting 4+ weeks. fatigue. feeling flu like all the time. i don't know for sure if this is the cause of my symptoms bc my doctors are still reviewing tests results, but to me it seems like CMV is the culprit. thank you for your video explaining this virus. either way i tested positive for it and need to be aware of this virus.

[@RandomVibe_4lyf]

What was the treatment and how are you now ?

[@CocoTheDiamond]

@@RandomVibe_4lyf the doctors at infections disease decided CMV and epstein bar are not the cause of my fevers of unknown origin and swollen lymph nodes through my body. it's also not any type of cancer as far as they can tell. i'm having a PET scan this week to look at the lymph nodes, again! my 3rd PET. then back to hem-onc to review the PET in 2 weeks. they can't figure out what's wrong with me. multiple CT's as well. I have fevers for months at a time, the last one lasted nearly a year. it's accompanied by flu like symptoms and swollen lymph nodes. i've seen infectious disease who ran 30+ blood tests and hem-onc for lymphoma which i didn't have. they said the CMV and epstein bar were positive tests but that they are not active. i am so exhausted all the time and spend a lot of time in bed. but the doctors are currently at a loss as to what's causing all of this. it's been going on for years. they can see on PET scans from 2021 the same thing they're seeing now. but i've had these symptoms since at least 2013ish. if anyone knows of a doctor or hospital that could diagnose me please point me there! or any ideas at all what to look for. i'm wide open to suggestions. i've completely lost my life to this and no one knows what i have. other symptoms which may or may not be related: vomiting frequently, frequent nausea (daily), and utter exhaustion in my whole body as if i have the flu. i'm so frustrated and i fight depression over never being able to engage in life anymore. a trip to the grocery store can set me back 2-3 days. i can't drive any distance anymore, i was in a wreck from brain fog trying to drive the hour to the hospital to see my doctors. i have to be driven around. my elderly parents help take care of me and i feel so guilty over this. i've also had a very stressful many years with divorce, move across the country, job loss, loss of the man i thought i was going to marry, some family have stopped speaking to me because i deconverted from our religion, i was homeless, lived with a hoarder friend in horrible circumstances. then i had a heart attack and had to have open heart surgery at age 45 from all of the stress. my life has stabilized and my parents have let me come live with them, now. my stress is minimal now, but i always wonder if the stress caused this? if you ask me, i feel like i have a virus. i just don't know what it could possibly be. please send any suggestions no matter how insignificant you think it is, i can't spend the rest of my life sick like this. i just turned 47, i have so many dreams left still and i feel like it's all been taken from me.

@@CocoTheDiamond Check for vitamin D, B12 deficiency (and possibly other B vitamins). Do blood tests, find someone who can interpred them (usually by doing blood test you can see what kind of infection you have - whether it's viral, parasitic, bacterial). I bet you are deficient with these ones and your health will greatly improve if you will raise your vit D, B12 levels.

[@CocoTheDiamond]

@@grzegorzl4825 hi thanks for responding. i've had every test done and some invasive procedures. they finally found the source of my symptoms. i have a rare disease called GAVE. and it has caused most all of my symptoms. there's no cure, but i'm receiving treatment now. they only found it just over a month ago. it was found by GI bc of extreme chronic anemia where i was losing so much blood my hemoglobin was dropping to 4 or 5 every few months. throwing up blood. but also fevers, constant nausea, chills. the doctors are confident this is the source. they are managing my symptoms better now and i'm receiving transfusions of iron aggressively. my hemoglobin has come up to 13 for the first time in many many years. and im being referred to integrative medicine to help me further. it suck's i have this, but i am infinitely grateful to the ONE doctor who took biopsies of my stomach to confirm what the was seeing in the scope. he told me at the time that chances were very remote that i had this disease but then it was confirmed through the biopsies. i'm just grateful to have answers finally. i truly thought i had a virus of some kind bc of how ive felt but this seems to be what was making me so sick as im already beginning to recover some with the aggressive iron and medications for the nausea and one more medication change in blood pressure meds that will help alleviate some pressure in my stomach blood vessels - IF cardiology approves it bc im diabetic and had a diabetes induced heart attack at age 45 with open heart surgery. but here's the bottom line: i was raped as a little child and again as a pre-teen, and i grew up in abuse and instability and trauma. those things are what made my body so sick. and constant stress has triggered disease. medicine needs to zealously pursue the mind-body stress-disease connection to prevent these things in people in the future. i believe it's the most important research that needs to and MUST be done to save lives. we already know there's a connection and that it's a strong one, but it needs to further be studied and recommendations need to be handed down to the public to know what to look for in one's self and to teach parents, teachers, etc to know what behaviors indicate abuse and how to prevent trauma better to children. most of my damage was received before the age of 14. it's imperative that we study this to save lives.

[@ddub2801]

Do hiv infected people carry this?

[@omaimashalwi2891]

Thanks alooooot

[@jacobhillanbrand7988]

How do you get tested for this?

[@حسينالسريع-ظ3ض]

Where does it come from, men or women?

[@azlankhan1051]

Cmv positive what should do

[@stevoofd]

I kissed with someone who carries it, we haven’t had sex yet, but I would like to. Now I’m worried I might have already caught it by kissing. How preventive is safe sex with condom if you can already transmit it through saliva??

[@vilenationgaming]

Me watching this::: WTF?!? This sounds worse than HIV

[@nkd3755]

My IgG is positive but igm is negative. Is it transmittable?

[@EverythingCameFromNothing]

It’s probably just an old infection then, but definitely talk to your doctor about it!!

Is that what it is? Because even watching this video I still don’t get it. I was looking at sperm donors and a lot of them were CMV Positive.
