It appears from my test results that CMV has reactived in my body from the Lyme/coinfections, it being the highest positive of all viruses/coinfections at 28 SI.
My background vision is static (light coloured backgrounds). I have read of this being a Lyme symptom but also CMV.
Has anyone developed CMV retinitis?
Bit scared as I have read it can make you blind. I have had this for at least 2 years quite bad. I have to wait until February to start treatment.
Also if you could share your other symptoms? It is very hard to distinguish between what is causing what.
I don't know if I have CMV - was not tested for it.
I don't have any vision issues. You need to see an optometrist and get your eyes checked. Have a visual fields test included.
Well, I won't list all my symptoms - there have been so many.
Here are ones I still have:
- head pressure (much better OFF the abx)
- shivering (seems to be getting better lately)
- nerve pain - left thoracic area, left arm, left hand (my WORST symptom I've had from the beginning)
- POTS
symptoms that are not so bad anymore:
- left rib pain (front)
- foot pain
- waking up in the morning, shivering, sometimes sweating, low -level anxiety
- sweating randomly during the day/evening
- fasciculations (twitching) - just appear now and then - low level
Symptoms that have resolved (this is not the entire list...going off the top of my head)
- weight loss
- memory issues
- pulsatile tinnitus
- muscle pain
- joint pain (fingers, elbows, wrists, knees)
- bakers cysts
- swollen and sore clavicle lymph node
- muscle atrophy
- tailbone pain
- sensation of lump in throat, difficulty swallowing
there are more that have resolved..that I'm not remembering now.
