Of lousy body

Ahhhh. my mood sux again for the last two days. partly due to my lousy body. Stomachache on Sat, headache on Sun!! Sigh. I just got my blood test results from my specialist. It's quite frightening to see red words like "positive" which you have practically no idea what the hell is it!

Trying hard to digest what I googled, I finally slightly understood
- what is "Anti-Smooth Muscle"
This test helps to detect the presence of antibodies. And I seriously don't know what's smooth muscle. In any case, it should not be positive. even if it's positive, it may not mean anything. Mine is positive.

- CMV IGG positive
I have cytomegalovirus which infected my body. Since it's IGG positve, it means I have been exposed but it's non-IgM reactive (meaning not there anymore). You can read about this. The symptoms are

  • Fatigue



  • Weakness



  • Night sweats



  • Prolonged fever



  • Swollen glands or sore throat or both



  • Loss of appetite or weight loss or both



  • Muscle aches or joint pain or stiffness



  • General feeling of illness, discomfort or uneasiness



  • No wonder I feel so tired for quite some times for no reason. I have those symptoms in blue. Sadly, how I wish I have loss of appetite and weight loss too.

    Seeing my specialist on Friday. He said he will call me if he note anything serious in the blood test. But he haven't. So I guess I won't drop dead soon.

    I don't like getting sick yet not very sick. I guess nobody like to be sick, be it serious or not. Haiyo. I don't know lah. Just hope to start my exercise regime. I am not finding excuses! But everytime I set my mind to go running, either it rained or my stomach gave me problem.

    I am screwed! Choosing gown in a month.
