Lookin for some good vibes.....

I know I am usually a ghost around here, turning up every now and again to browse the classifieds, but I was sitting in the hospital browsing the site, and thought "couldn't hurt." I don't usually do this for myself, but I am looking for prayers and positive vibes right now. I was admitted into the hospital today, after 17 days of chronic high fever. My primary Dr was stumped and told me to go be admitted to the hospital. Looking like I might have an infection or disorder of the blood or lymphatic system, and I have a meeting with a Hematologist early this AM to discuss options/course of action. Looks like a bone marrow biopsy is in my near future, and any positivity and prayers flung my way would be appreciated.

Mods feel free to move this if it isn't in the right spot, didn't know quite where to post.

Sorry to hear about your health :( My thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your recovery. May it be swift and strong so that you could make the pacific northwest meet this summer! :D

Thank you all for your support!!!!!! The bone marrow biopsy was done yesterday and they sent me home to be in pain there. I meet with the oncologist on Monday to discuss the results, on pins and needles till then.

I too will pray for God to keep you and watch over you during this trying time, and to grant you with a speedy recovery.

Stay strong, gent and let us know if there is some way we can help.

Consider it done.

Labs sent to VA for confirmation, and results returned today. Diagnosis of Acute Cytomegalo viral infection. It acts like a mononucleosis, only more severe. The disease itself is not uncommon, but my body's reaction to the virus is rare. Got possibly 2+ weeks more of the fevers/sweats before it runs its course. At which time the tissue damage/inflammation of my liver, spleen, and lymph nodes should start healing themselves. Ugh....it is good to finally have a culprit, even if it has to last for a while longer.

At least now you can see your way out, it must beat dealing with the unknown and the uncertainty that it brings. God bless and get well!

Obviously, you'd rather not be sick, but that is fantastic news. Some of the things on the FUO (fever of unknown origin) list are kind of scary. Glad you're on the way to recovery.
