DANNA
I WAS DIAGNOSISED ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO WITH CMV AND SEARCHED FOR 4 YEARS PRIOR TO THAT BEFORE I GOT A DIAGNOSIS. I HAD DOUBLE VISION, SEVER PAIN IN MY FEET AND IN JUST ABOUT EVERY PART OF MY BODY, SEVERE FATIGUE. IT WAS SUGGESTED MAYBE I WAS NUTS AND THAT I DIDN'T DENY BUT NOT NUTS ENOUGH TO GIVE MYSELF THAT KIND OF PAIN. I WAS PRETTY MUCH ON MY OWN EVEN AFTER DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WAS GOING TO AFFECT IT AFTER SO MUCH TIME HAD PASSED. I STILL GET WEIRD LOOKS IF I GO TO A DOCTOR AND TELL THEM I HAD ACTIVE CMV AND HOW IT AFFECTED ME. THEY WILL EVEN TELL ME I DID NOT HAVE IT. I WENT THROUGH HELL FOR THE FIRST 4 YEARS TRYING TO GET A DIAGNOSIS AND THEN THE PAIN OF IT FOR ANOTHER 6 YEARS UNTIL IT FINALLY WENT AWAY.
