Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 you know , thats the first I had ever heard of humans getting parvo, it has certainly opened my eyes to the possibilities of infection, etc, of different viral infections. I jave been looking things up on it, and it makes one wonder exactly where we " got " our FMS and CFS symptoms from...past infections, surgeries, trauma, etc... Mare > Mare, it is a different strain. It's worse in animals. As far as parvo goes in humans, I must have never been exposed to it as a child. My children could have had it and it went it's normal viral course but it got me good. I had a rash that was like a lacey type of a rash on my torso and legs. Then I had bad flu like symptoms followed by unbelievable fatigue and arthralgia. (Gee, similar to what I have now but it was a bit worse then). I was bedridden for about 6 months and then one day I woke up and it was gone. Then two years ago after my daughter was born, I got it again. They used to say that once you get it you are immune but my bloodtests showed that I had a past and present infection from parvo. > > L > ----- Original Message ----- > From: rabbiddanngel1 > > Parvovirus...wow...I am a veterinary technician, and have had a lot > of experience with pups with that...is it the same virus, or a > different strain that humans get? > Mare > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Mare - exactly! It makes me wonder. I know I've always had health problems but I was viewed by friends and family as the person who can get anything weird. I had mono really bad when I was 17. I have had many many miscarriages (but I do have two children). My losses were unexplained. I live in an area of NJ where tick bites are common and have had lyme disease twice. I caught that parvovirus B19 in 1997. I've had gallstones and kidney stones 3 times. That's the health problems. I've also had trauma stuff - my mom died of breast cancer at 50 and that was hard for me. All the miscarriages, too - so I wonder what. I noticed this time that although I always feel pretty crappy - I was doing okay. I was taking my 12 year old to his baseball games this summer every night while watching my 3 year old. As soon as his season ended and I had nothing I had to do, I had a flare. Now I'm starting to feel a bit better in the fatigue department but the aches and pains are still there - they are always there but I don't have to tell anyone here that, right? L.
