Fever Not Feeling Well

[Achilles2323]

Started a 101 fever last night

Stuffy nose

Body aches and fatigue

No cough no sore throat

Started sneezing a lot today when I woke up

Very crusty nose and eyes upon waking as well

Any 1 have any idea what's going on ?

Doctor swabbed for flu yesterday from my nose

Said it was negative

He is running a virus panel or something like that

Any help ?

Keep drinking your fluids and stay warm. Hopefully your doctor will have some answers soon. Be thankful it's not the flu.

Yea I am thankful

But it sure feels like it ;(

Any 1 have any clue ?

I know a few people who recently had some sort of cross between a cold/flu thing. I guess it was like a bad cold, but with low grade fever and body aches. It seemed to be viral and was self-limiting. I think their worst symptoms lasted for 5-7 days then turned into coughs for a couple of weeks afterwards.

It sounds like maybe a bad cold - colds can really be caused by hundreds of different viruses, so you might just have a particularly nasty one.

Take care of your symptoms and hope you feel better!

I'm sorry you don't feel well, I don't know in names what to call it but it sounds just like a cold that should run it's course. I was sick for an entire week last week with similar symptoms except I had the worst raw, sore throat of my life, even worse than when I had mono ten years ago. I was crying to swallow it hurt so bad. Chest and nose congestion, all of it. I'm better now, yours should run through your system and then feel well (or POTS well). Like others' say, drink plenty of fluids!!!!

Kid germs are everywhere I tell you, whether you have kids or not, they are swarming the market, library, you name it!!!

Yea maybe just a bad cold but worse with POTS

There's. A bunch of stuff going around right now. My mom had to call and cancel going to a dinner Monday night because I gave her the stomach flu/virus. Their friend is a school teacher and said they've been having really low attendance in school because of all the germs going around. If you've been in any doctors' offices lately, you might have been infected there. (I try to touch as little as possible in the doctors' office because there's tons of germs there. Lol) Take care and I'm sure this particular thing will be over soon.

Yea I guess its making its rounds ;(

Got me

I can vouch for the tummy bug being just plain awful. Put three members of my family in the hospital including myself! I had the cold thing a few weeks ago so I was already run down. This winter has been a bad bad bad germ year.

I hope you feel better soon. Rest, fluids, fluids, fluids.

I know that last year I had some kind of nasty virus. High fever that was difficult to control and THE WORST body aches I have ever had for a good 4 or 5 days. It wasn't the flu though.....

Hope you get better fast!

[misstraci]

you're right though Achillies..... dysautonomia/POTS makes it feel extra, extra terrible.

How are you feeling today??? Hope you are gradually getting better and not worse.
