Okay, here's the question in a nutshell..I
went to get lab results today from my gp
and out of the blue, my gp said, hey! It
looks like you have some sort of viral
infection, but don't worry, it'll work
itself out. The bloodwork was ordered for
thyroid and frequent menstrual cycles. I
tried to ask several times, but got no
satisfying answer. What kind of viral
infection could I possibly have? Other
than lots of stress over the last few
months and feeling exhausted, would I not
be having any other symptoms? No stomach
flu, no colds or sore throats and
absolutely no possibility of an std or
anything like that. I am very confused and
a little bit worried.
Thanks for your help!

I'll need to know what tests your GP
administered with the results in order to
tell you why he thought that you might
have been experiencing a viral infection.
I suppose that one of the tests performed
was a standard blood count. If your
lymphocytes’ count was elevated this
would indicate a viral infection.
