    Default Sick since January 2nd

    Ok, this is getting really old. I started getting sick on January 2nd and was full blown ill by the 5th: body ache, cough, terrible sore throat, sneezing, congestion, etc. I figured it was a cold/flu virus and it would just have to run its course, so I didn't go to the doctor (no cure, obviously).

    I started feeling fairly healthy--not 100%, but recovering. Now I woke up today aching, feeling like warmed crap, and bad sore throat.

    It's been 24 days. Anyone know what could be going on? I could go to the doctor, but want to avoid the expense if there's nothing he can do.

    Thanks, Leila. I was wondering how I could start to get well and then get sick again if it was a typical virus. Guess I got one and then immediately got another. Ugh!

    Feel better soon, sweetie. That's a damn long time to be sick

    Just found this on WebMD:

    When a viral infection has been improving and then starts to get worse, or if a viral infection has lingered for 10 days or more, a bacterial infection may be present.

    Maybe we should go to the doctor? UGH. I hate spending money to be told to drink water and get rest.

    A few questions to help you determine if you need an MD: Are you having fevers greater than 100.5? Has the color of your mucus (from nose or coughed up) changed color? Do you feel short of breath or have a deep pain in your chest when you breath? If you have your tonsils and can see them, are they swollen, red, or have white patches on them?

    It's also very easy to start to feel better, increase your activity and catch something new because your immune system wasn't at full capacity as it was still recovering from the previous virus.

    This happened to me last year. I was trying to avoid going to the doctor since I have no insurance so I was trying to let the virus run it's course. Well, I was sick for around 3 weeks. I would feel as though I'd be getting better, then it'd come back. So I ended up having to go to the clinic and they prescribed antibiotics. So yeah, it ended up being a bacterial infection. If it comes down to it, go the the Minute Clinic inside some of the CVS stores. They only charge $40 a visit. There's one on 86th and Ditch RD.

    My husband and I swear by OIL OF OREGANO as we both practice homeopathic/Natural medicine unless conventional medicine is required.

    For us this stuff is a miracle in a bottle!!

    Cough/Flu/canker sores/cold sores this tincture has so many uses and it only takes 3 drops under the tongue 3 times a day.

    I'll post the link here for you to check it out on your own and see if it is something you are willing to try.

    All that I can say is that I have only been sick 3-4 times in the last 10 years. No fooling!!

    Same shit happened to me last year, only thing was it was pnemonia and I let it get so fucking bad it was in both lungs by the end of it all.

    Girls at work had the shit and weren't allowed to call off without dr's notes so they kept coming in etc, I got probably a viral infection that settled into my lungs causing that. I had to go to the hospital and I had to fucking stay. It sucked hard.

    I was sick from like Jan till April. Im not joking either. It was at its worst around Feb. Which is when I was admitted.

    the thread exists somewhere around this site. Go to the DR your health is nothing to be cheap on
