EBV Virus

The Epstein-barr virus is one of the most common human viruses. Most people have been infected with the virus at some point. It can cause a sore throat, swollen glands, swollen liver and spleen. If left untreated it can go on to become glandular fever. I curretnly have the EBV virus in my body and it has increased from 13,000 to 58,000 and there is a bit of worry that my liver is swollen. I haven't had any treatment yet as i havent presented the symptoms of glandular fever however i would rather not wait for me to get it either lol. I am booked in for a ct scan on wednesday to see how my liver and the rest of the body is and depending on the results from that and my blood results a decision will be made about treatment etc. I have a normal platelet and red cell count at the moment but my neutraphils have dropped so that is a bit of a worry but i am sure it is because of the virus. My line is going to stay in a bit longer incase i need treatment for the EBV virus. I am just watching Eurovision not through choice i would like to add but because it is one of Toms fav nites of the year lol. Apart from watching trash on telly i am looking for a job at the moment. My plan is to do some volunteer work and have September as my target to either start a course or apply for a job.

    I wondered what you had meant when you previously mentioned Tom and Eurovision, the last thing I had considered was that he actually watched it!!,it takes alsorts I suppose.
    From one who knows how ghastly the EBVirus is,like I've said before you just have to let your body determine what you can and can't do,but I'm certain you must be extremely p...d off! September sounds good.
    Lil is settled in the care home and she looks and says she is happy,although I did find a chisel in the basket of her zimmer the other day,and she was extremely adamant that she did'nt know how it had got there!
    Carry on being positive and take care

    hi lauren,
    i wish u all the best for ur wonderful long healthy future. we r all here in this world to die at last. since the beginning of life billion years ago, no single organism has been able to escape death. important thing is what constructive work we do in our lifetime for the benefit of humankind. like john keats wrote so many wonders in such a short span of his life. isnt it better than to live a worthless 100 years? Thats why recently i am inclining more to spirituality practised by ancient indian monks in quest for true knowledge of life and death. I hope to share my thoughts with u one day. best wishes and have a wonderful christmas.
