Hi all, first I want to say thanks to all the helpful and friendly people who have been giving me good advice, and helping me keep my head on tight. Thanks a million. Here is my question, are other people out there with EBV or MONO concerned about liver damage? I know EBV is not hepatits, but, I know that the virus is able to attack the spleen, and the liver, I think. I'm concerned about this, because of course, the fatigue, and malaise. But I have been noticing that my skin bruises more easily...I have spots, and what seems like small bruises, on the soles of my feet. It is hard to explain clearly, but I have noticed something similar to liver spots on my hands and feet....something looking like dotted freckles.
About a month or two ago, my doctor tested my liver by doing a blood test, I didn't get the results back personally, but they said it was alright. My doctor said I did not need to test for hepatitis, but is EBV harmful like Hepatitis, or no? I'm trying to be proactive, although I am not working, and funds are scarce....But still, the bruising easily...mainly noticeable on hands, but even a bug bite tends to heal, and leave a semi-bruised/ stained mark there on the skin. Any words of advice....or any similar symptoms occuring with anyone else....would be most welcomed. Thanks...bye.
