so the third round of blood tests have come back, and it turns out i have an EBV virus - one that is similar to mono. at least i have one answer; it explains all the fatigue and general ickiness. unfortunately, it doesn't explain some of the other symptoms and some of the other lab results, so the search is still on for added explanations. hey, on the bright side, this virus doesn't typically last more than four months... woo-hoo, just two and a half more months of crappiness to go...
on a very helpful note, the lab that my doctor's office sends their blood tests to has been screening all samples for an additional test - i have tested positive for it. problem is, the lab has not explained to the doctors what the test is for, or what that result means. i have been advised not to worry about it... yet. they'll let me know when they learn something...
