So glad you are finally feeling better and glad you didn't need the antibiotic. Ugh - hate the fear and hope one day none of us will ever have to worry about it. Will pray for continued improvement! Hugs!

Re: I feel like venting today!!!
I just wanted to give an update to all of you amazing people who have really helped me keep my fears in check with this illness. I am feeling a ton better today. Thank God. I got the results from my bloodwork late today, and it's all viral - no infection! I am completely relieved and grateful that it's viral. I guess viruses can be just as intense as bacterial infections. I did find out that I have an active Epstein-Barr Virus. The levels were extremely high, way above normal. I think she said 17 was the high end of normal, and I'm in the 200s. The mono test came back negative, so it was just Epstein-Barr and my body fighting this crazy viral infection. I was diagnosed with Epstein-Barr in my late teens. The virus lies dormant in your body. I guess mine decided to re-activate after all these years. I have upped my vitamin supplements in an attempt to boost my immune system back up. When I had Epstein-Barr as a teen, I used to get B-12 shots, so I'm adding extra B complex vitamins now.
Thank you all again for your support. I really do appreciate it.

So happy for you Lisa. Hope the EBV calms down and you get back to feeling better. All this illness at once is awful, I know firsthand. Good luck.

Thank you so much everyone! I really do appreciate all of you.
Carol - I hope you have been feeling better as well with everything that you have been through!
I'm going to lock my own post now, as it's getting long. This crazy virus caused a 3 pager! ;-)
