Wow, I can't believe you remembered that!! Thank you so much for asking...

Well like I said before they found a virus in my blood - I tested postive for Ebstein-Barr. I don't know if everyone knows what that is or not - but it's a chronic virus - like an adult version on mono. So it'll never go away - but it won't be bad ALL the time.. when I stress it'll get worse. I stress a LOT, so I'm seeing a therapist for it right now.

I actually have 2 appointments in Chicago this Wednesday. I live about 2.5 hours from Chicago, so I just wanted to get a second opinion and more blood tests. My immune system was also less than half of what it should be, so I'm seeing an immune system specialist, and an infectious disease doctor.

Sorry I have been gone from the posts for awhile! I work outside (which is just WONDERFUL for IBS - sarcasm), and I have just had a crazy busy month with doctors and work.

Also - my husband and I REALLY wanted to get pregnant this month, but I saw my GYN and she said to wait until we get results back from Chicago...and hopefully by the end of next month we'll be expecting!!

I'm pretty nervous about it with all the foods I can't eat, and with this virus (it makes me really tired and my joints hurt sometimes). So hopefully everything will be ok.

Anyways - thanks so much for asking!!! I really appreciate it!
