I was sick with this for about eight years. I met with many doctors to no avail. I tried everything, or so I thought. Then one day under the kithen sink stood a jug of clorox bleach. I was at a point where my system was near total failure and I was heading for the box at 45 years of age. I figured clorox bleach will kill anything so I started gargling once a day with this stuff being very careful not to swallow any. The first thing that was gone was the back aches which later I found was being caused by a track infection caused by the virus. Then all the gut problems went away but I was left weak and still congested. The hot and cold spells stopped happening. It took about a year of gargling with this stuff to totally rid my system of this infection. Now colds and flus scare the cr#p outta me but I know I'll never do that trip again.
I have this and while, if I rest all morning I go into work and within a couple of hours feel so ill I come home I think the heat and humidity isn't helping here ad a few days ago felt I would pass out in traffic on the way home. I just feel terrible. I went to the Dr too but hadn't had any blood work done. (am post menopausal)I feel pregnant when I wake in the morning - so nauseous. I have never ever had any stomach problems. This started with a 'bug' for a day or two felt sick and then fatigued and a headache -and only one day of running to the bathroom....I never actually threw up but feel like it a lot- My head feels so woozy when I do anything much.I took the dog for a walk yesterday to this football sized field- half way around I was looking to where the car was parked as I began to feel shaky and slightly awful....What has your Dr called the virus? Thanks for posting this as I haven't met anyone else who is sick like this.It just doesn't go away.
Gargling bleach?! That sounds very dangerous and not a sensible solution at all.
I have the same damned thing! I thought I was going nuts! Haven't been to a Doc, cause I thought, "What can they do for a virus, but I'm still feeling like c**p a month later! I seriously don't think it's IBS . . . I have that, this is different and it started with a sore throat and ear, and ended up just like what you are describing.
It's not IBS, but what the heck it is and how to get rid of it . . . well, no one here seems to know either . . .
I am in London and i have been getting this on and off fo rthe past 5 years - i cant pinpoint when it started but i think it was after a dose of flu. Now if i over exert or get too tired it comes back and can take months to recvover. you wake in the monring even after 9 hours sleep feeling tired, you think your better then you sit at your desk and feel like being sick - its very dull and causes me to feel depressed, although for the sake of my family i mask these feelings and keep them to lyself. Noone understands how awful it is unless they have it. I have had every test known to man, and nothing, ... the only think that works a little is when your better, dont over do it - and if you do take an anti hystemine and lots of vitamin c - it can prevent another attack. I refer to these episodes as an attack as i feel my body and soul has gone to war when an episode starts. as i write this i am sick again having travelled onn business last week, and then finnished with a clinet dinner that didnt get me home till 3 am,,since then i have been sweating at night, felling nauseous in the day and have probs concentrating - its too late for the hystemine now and the vit c wont work - just rest and mild excercise
I came back from a trip abroad on the 23rd of July , started with a mild sore throat , usually an indication of a cold starting,r it could have been the a/c on the plane. Then I got flu like symptons ,fatigue , stiffness of joints , white tongue ,etc .Yesterday I started with a very chesty cough ad occasional sneezing and had to go to bed when I came in from work .I have had the sore throat all the time,usually more noticeable at night. All my symptons point to having a yeast unbalance . I took a simple spit test.
glass of cold water , in the morning wash my mouth out , then spit into the water , the spit then went into long legs ,indicating a problem. If you google the spit test it will explain .
Hope this helps

Thank you for the reassuring words--"Don't worry and be patient." Like everyone else here, I have been sick for at least six weeks and have begun to get scared. My illness started with two days of what felt like flu, and I was bedridden, too miserable to move. [Note: I did not experience any intestinal distress.] Then I felt slightly better for a few days, then seemed to relapse (though not as violently), and the pattern has repeated itself every few days for all this time. I finally went to my MD last week for a strep test (the violent sore throat kept recurring), which came back negative...but she prescribed an antibiotic nonetheless in case it was a different bacterium causing an infection. Six days of the Rx seem to have had little effect--I still do not feel at all myself and keep struggling to feel well.
Another reason I appreciate the above post is that I have been under great stress due to a variety of serious factors, one of which is a critical family illness (end-stage cancer), so I gather that this virus, whatever it is (has any MD put a name to it?), feeds hungrily on compromised immune systems.
Thank you so much for the encouragement, and I will take your advice about patience and all the rest...including rest itself!
I TOO SUFFER FROM ibs the feeling my bowels are never empty, winds, a bot of nausea, BUT i am a very amxious person and every thought thatunsettles me , manifests itself in my tummy,
At the moment i have a virus after a flujab and feel weak, and very unwell, I go out and return home immediately seized by weakness , I have a bit of ASTHMA at the moment am short of breath, On the one hand it is good to walk and take someexercise but because of my breathing i walk very slow, and as it is uncomfortable i dont walk much, except for just most necessary shopping,
Typical Doctor's misdiagnosis. We have got this virus in the UK now. It is a mixture of Flu and Norovirus but in a unique strain which instead of being over and done with in a week the virus drags on for weeks or months. My wife has had it for about 4 weeks now. Diagnosed by an excellent Kinesiologist who with treatment is gradually beating the bug. Unfortunately when my wife caught the virus her immune system was very low due to Candida so the bug struck harder. Any form of exertion makes it flare up. Doctor did blood tests , nothing showed up.inter
Hi,im from Uk, i'm also suffering same symptoms, ever wondered if it was coming from the sky? I believe it is.
I think it's airborne, as in, from the chemtrails.
Too much of "this" about over here than is "normal".
Dosing myself with vitamims,and juicing any fruit i can get hold of.
Hope you all get well very soon.

does anyone think this could be hiv related?
I am looking all over to see if anyone else is feeling like me! It has ben going through my head that there might be something really wrong, as NEVER been ill so long! Started over 8 weeks ago, with cold cough and chest infection, fair enough, this went after a week, only to return a week or so later with a vengeance! Since 5 weeks, I have had awful coughing fits, which lead to me wetting self (so not me) leading to sinuses full up, headaches / nausea/ stomach upset / back pain like kidney pain / dizziness / and awful tiredness, feeling grotty on and off, one min ok, next min, something crops up...at min head is banging and neck aching! Been doc, had to have bloods taken, a week later anti biotics, a week later, more anti biotics, a week later x/rays, now had to make another appointment to see doc as TOTALLY fed up with this now! If u ask me, theres NOTHING in the 'so called' anti biotics they give you!!!! All down to money if ~I had to bet on it!!! Hospitals are FULL of people like this who have all got respiratory problems due to untreated illnesses if I had to guess....leading to the complications it does when untreated. Well...RANT over....''fed up and peed off''!!!
