Ye Olde Mystery Illness.

Just an update for the people who read this from time to time.

We have an answer!!

Went to the quack again today, a good one who appears to know what he's doing, which is apparently quite odd for Geelong. Anywho, as far as Livers go, mine isn't. The blood test that came back were kinda jumbled, but had all the important things in FAT RED LETTERS

So have you thought about the fact that if you were still at IBM you'd get 365 days of paid sick leave every two years.

Hahaha, Sorry man, had to say it

That unfortunate point HAD come up in conversation already.

I said if he still worked at IBM, he should have been talking the doctor in the other direction.

Tell me more?

Whilst I don't think my liver is fucked, i've just been to the doc and now have to have a battery of blood tests done, cos i'm feeling like i've been hit all over with a big stick.

And that extremely common virus you mentioned sounds like heliobacter pylori.

Apparently what I have is called "Cytomegalovirus" or CMV to it's friends. Apparently they need to do something called serology to pick it up, which is hopefully what your doc ordered, if they do that right it will come back saying that's what it is, if it is indeed what it is. Which is fairly different to your thing, cos if yours is bacterial it will be much easier to kill (hopefully)

The liver thing is fairly rare, as is the virus actually being active. My Doc had heard of it, but never dealt with it before. Only unlucky people seem to be affected with liver shutdowns.

From what I have read it can affect different parts of the body, brain, chest, gastrointestinal etc... but the doc didn't tell me which was in me.

Yeah serology was one of the tests.
