Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
I just returned home from a 6 day stay at the hospital with CMV. For a week or so prior my skin hurt and it was difficult to walk, especially early in the day. I am blessed with CMV! lol The medication is $1789.00 for 2 weeks!!!! Drink lots of water and rest. It is one of the viruses that they test for with each blood test. Everyone has this virus, but it is like chicken pox. Those of us with no immune system get whammied when it attacks us. I'd never heard of it. Lori
