I just want to know if you have heard of
cytomegalovirus. How dangerous it and how
can it be cured?

Cmv... Posted: 10-02-03 16:38pm
Cmv is a virus that is closely related to
mononucleosis (or ebv).
It is commonly found in most humans. Most
people actually experience the virus and
never know they had it. However, some do
feel the symptoms. Since it is a virus,
antibiotics will not work. You will have
to let it run its course.
Once you have had the disease, the virus
lies dormant in your body. Most people do
not suffer a recurrence, unless you have a
seriously comprimised immune system.
I am assuming that you have been to the
doctor. If you are showing symptoms, you
may want to look into why...Stress,
anemia, other ways of lowering your immune
system may be to blame.
Hope this helps!

I was diagnosed last feb. With
cytomegalovirus. It was my 4th year
having mono like symptoms and not testing
positive for ebv. I am one of the lucky
few with symptoms. My liver swells and I
get tired and lethargic. It is not a fun
few weeks. Right now i'm waiting for my
yearly hit of it. It normally comes
between jan- feb for me.
