Here is the Mayo Clinic’s take on CMV. CMV is a common and widespread virus that causes symptoms similar to the common mononucleosis virus. I got a call this morning from the Dr.’s office and was told that the blood they drew on Friday tested positive for CMV and that is why I’m sick. The good news is that this virus is only serious in adults with compromised immune systems and children. The bad news is that it is knocking me for a loop symptom-wise. I am tired and while it is important to get rest I’m told that it’s also important not to do nothing for 2 weeks. That is what makes it difficult since every time I try to do something as simple as working at the computer I wind up needing a 2 hour nap.
