Hey there,
i have some questions about my recently started cmv treatment with valcyte. 3 weeks ago, i was tested highly positive for an active CMV. Since 2 weeks I'm on valcyte, with little breaks (because of herx?). I upped my dose too quick i think and crashed hard on day 6, took a little break and started again. Actually, after 2 weeks, I try to take valcyte as followed: 1.day 2x1, 2.day 2x1, 3.day 1x1, start at day 1 again etc. Since tuesday, I'm feeling pretty bad again, but not like normal, i have strange symptoms like:
- cold extremities
- sweating hands
- VERY VERY tired even when i slept 10 hours.. im awake 2 hours, eat something and i began to feel REALLY tired.. have to go to bed (havent experience such fatigue all the years I've been sick)
- blurred vision / irrated eyes (I went to an eye-doc last week, all things fine, just have "dry eyes")
- feeling like have the flu
- more foggy
- low appetite
- when i have really bad hours, i have to urinate very often, at this time, i have some nausea too but without vomiting (it feels like my body is full of toxins and i have to release them)
- in the moring, i feel like a truck hit me, its getting better in the afternoon
- fast heartbeat when i have done some little efforts
Today, i felt bad too, but i had to go to the hospital to check my blood. (my girlfriends mom works there, she checks my blood regluary when i have to)
Results: All things FINE! My leukocytes even rised, my lymphocytes also. thrombos rised too. i was quite on the lowest borderline with the leukocytes 3-4 weeks ago (about 4nl of 4-10nl). now they rise somewhere until the middle (5.7nl of 4-10nl).
Just 1 liver-parameter, i think it was GTP was a little bit over the max. borderline, the others were good.
what do you think about that?
