Virus won't go away after a month

Guest over a year ago

You have to boost your immune system. An overload of vitamins and ginger tea will work. Antioxidants like pomegranate speed up the recovery

Omg I thought I was going crazy. I've been sick for four and a half weeks now. It started with really phlegmy cough, body aches, fever, lack of appetite, upset stomach, and insomnia. The cough and fever have been gone for two and a half weeks but I'm still fatigued and restless. Also I still have bad indigestion. Some body aches too. Alcohol definitely makes things worse. I have a very physical job and getting less hours is like pulling teeth but working too much brought the symptoms back. I miss sleeping a full night. The symptoms aren't keeping me up, just can't shut my brain off at night. I took a zpak and it did nothing for me. Now I'm trying a ton of supplements and kombucha. I hope that starts helping soon. I'm so tired of this.

Makes me wonder about "germ warfare"; this so called virus is debilitating!!

We have had this same virus. It starts with a dry scratchy throat then turns into chest congestion. My husband has had nausea with it also. My daughter has had a horribly high fever for almost a week now. The flu tests in the Dr office came back negative. Both my daughter and husband have been in bed not able to do anything for five days now. Tamiflu was prescribed and it’s done nothing. I’ve never seen my husband and daughter so sick before. I would desperately like to know what it is.

Hey sorry to hear about your family. Try to take a multivitamin and an antioxidant daily. Garlic pills and ginger root also. Chop up the ginger and boil it into tea. U can add immunity tea bags to add to the ginger tea. Get rest and good luck.

I don't know what the virus is but I don't think it's the ordinary "flu", the Aussie flu/Jap/French or anything else. I am just beginning (I think) to get over it and it's the 12th day. Started very suddenly the Tuesday before Easter with headache, shakiness, a strange anxiety, and nausea. Felt super-caffeined -up. No other way to describe it. Like I'd had 10 cups of coffee.

In between feeling all this stuff, I'd get ravenous hunger that was inappropriate as I'd just eaten, or wanting a sardine sandwich at midnight! (nope -not pregnant. I'm 65! lol) Then I'd get queasy again. Had a loose b.m. a couple of times (solved with Meadowsweet.) No fever.No cough, sore throat or cold symptoms....weird.
The headache was all over my right eye and more or less constant except when asleep.
Plus a general weak weariness and feeling like grunge day after day. Like that general awfulness you feel the day you're coming down with flu. For 12 days.

Nothing I took helped it, except there was some soothing effect from taking Meadowsweet, Peppermint, and Ginger tea. That helped a bit for sure.
(I won't go NEAR pharmaceuticals and always use herbs.)
There is an article here which offers some good natural solutions to infections such as viruses etc: ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** posting of web addresses is not allowed*** Please read our Terms of Use

It ight be worth trying some of these remedies (bearing in mind any meds you're taking or pre-existing conditions, ask the doc if unsure about trying a herb or natural extract.)
I've only tried Garlic and Echinacea so far. No, they haven't busted it which is mighty strange, as they usually work well. I might try some of those things in the article.
This is a strange bug.

".the rabbit hole people reckon its made by the USA military and spread on us with chemtrails....well hey thats just a theory"

I have seen those trails all over the sky and the debunk speeches made, and the "Oh it's all contrails, and here's the scientific evidence".... about it are not convincing me.

I have no real idea what exactly is going on up there but for sure something is that didn't used to. Look at history! Governments have openly admitted spraying general public with stuff! (Can't quote source because can't remember where I read that but think it happened in the 50s (?) in UK)

The Pharma companies would actually just love that when you come to think of it. Everyone desperate to take all sorts of drugs to cure their "flu".....(in the billions of course.)

I am not sure how old this post is. Today is April 15, 2018. I have had all of the symptoms mentioned for 6 weeks. Does anyone know yet what this virus is and how to treat it? I have not seen a doctor yet based on the previous posts. It doesn't seem like anyone knows what this is but it is beginning to scare me because it won't go away. I am trying Colloidal Silver (Natures Sunshine). I tsp. 2 x day. It kills viruses. Ill keep you posted...

Might want to be checked for fibromyalgia. It can make the muscles all over your body hurt and feel tender to touch. Hope you feel better soon. I pray you don't have fibromyalgia because it sucks!

One of the symptoms is fibromyalgia type symptoms. Actually if you have any autoimmune issuesthis bug weakens the body so they flare up. Going on one year now. Much improved. It works on a cycle: headaches first, eye pain, sinus then throat and then stomach. Then the gastro stuff happens. You must boost your immune system.

I do have low thyroid so autoimmune issues are always there. It’s the sore throat, burning sensation in my throat and chest as if I have acid reflux (which I have never had!). Extremely tired. I can work the first half of the day and then drop dead tired. Can’t sleep at night, wired. Thought it was adrenal fatigue but this is lasting way too long. Upset stomach when I eat but I still have an appetite. Lightheaded now and then too. Very frustrating, it won’t end!

Did any of you poor souls also have inflamed tonsils and/or tonsil stones along with these symptoms?

I'm in a similar boat and have ended up in the ER twice in two weeks, but all the tests they've done came back negative; It isn't Mono, it isn't strep, my chest x-rays are fine, my blood work is all perfectly normal etc. But I'm still super concerned!

Visiting my Dr today for follow up on all the tests etc. so hopefully my mind will put at ease today, but I'm going insane worrying that I have something more serious!

Any help greatly appreciated! Hope everyone is feeling better.

Did you find out anything more. I had a blood panel done as well as a blood test for Adrenal fatigue and mono. EBV ugh came back super high. Reoccurring virus. I had Mono 40 years ago. My doctor in Palm Springs thinks it is a reoccurring Mono virus. I started taking Cipro just in case in was bacterial. I’m feeling better. I’m having a dental implant done and may have an infection from that. I am trying everything to find out why I feel so lousy and tired. It’s been six weeks on and off.
