It gets better!
In May last year (YES The whole month!) I was in the hospital for GVHD in my gut. CMV showed its' ugly head and I felt like I was kicked by a cow! A couple weeks of vangocyclovir(?) and increased steroids got me through it, although at one time I was carrying a couple gallons of extra fluid (I SLOSHED).Once it was under control, I was allowed to come home. It poked its' head up a little a couple months later in the form of elevated counts, but not enough to hospitalize me. Docs caught it and slapped it with a return to steroids and vancyclovir for a few weeks.
Haven't seen any indicators for 5 months now. so my conclusion is to hang in there...IT GETS BETTER!!!!!
