Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection, Treatments of the Symptoms

[ms_science_teach]

I was recently diagnosed with Cytomegalovirus (CMV). I have read up on the virus to educate myself but there is still so much I don't understand. My main problem is that the symptoms are whipping me daily. My main symptoms are: chronic fatigue, nightly low-grade fevers (99.5 F to 100.5 F), loss of appetite, and night sweats. I am a teacher and school will be starting soon. I just don't know how I am going to manage my routine. With no treatment for CMV, my doctor has me on Phenergan for my nausea and Prevacid for the stomach upset. The Phenergan knocks me out even if I only take a half tablet. Yet I have to take at least half a tablet to get past the nausea. Even without the medicine, my fatigue is getting the better of me. I can wake up at 6am and by the time noon comes around I feel like it's 2am and that I am way past my bedtime. Are there any herbal supplemenmts or medicines that can help me, or do I need to start drinking 5 Red Bulls a day to stay awake? I am so frustrated. Sometimes it's like having morning sickness all day long except for the fact that I am not pregnant. I can't eat anything hot. When I can eat, I have to be very careful to stop before I am full or my food sits high in my stomach and I feel miserable the rest of the day. I need to know if there are any dietary changes I can make to give myself more energy so that I can combat this chronic fatigue. What can someone overridden with CMV symptoms do? How do I function?
