I had a nasty fight with CMV in my early thirties. When I say nasty, I mean VERY nasty; nearly fatal. Put me in the critical care ward of Emory for about ten days with the CDC involved on diagnosis. I dropped from 185 to 155 while there and it took over a year to really get my self back to normal. The docs told me to not drink alcohol for a while as my liver really took a beating.
Well, life moves on and I have had a normal life for the past 15 years....until this past weekend. Went hunting with some buddies and I apparently had too much to drink (but not really that much) on Saturday evening and paid the price kneeling on the bathroom floor for a while. Had a major/ epic hangover on Sunday and got sick again later in the day. I still feel nauseated today.
The thing is, I have only had a few major hangovers in my life but I can't shake this feeling and I am really tired.

Is there long term reduction in liver function with CMV? Could I be having a "flare up" of symptoms brought on by drinking?
