I've been diagnosed with chronic norovirus. This usually clears in days, but I've had it for 4 months due to immunodeficiency. So, I am travelling to hospital in London for an immunology appt, bloods, and a PET-CT. This scan will show whether I can still absorb food or whether I need IV feeding.
In people with a healthy immune system, norovirus isn't a problem. It's unpleasant, but clearable. In immunodeficient people, like me, it's life threatening.
