Have I Had the Flu For 3 Months? Posted: 12-28-03 09:11am
I have a low immune system, and this year
it seems that i've had aches, sniffles,
cough, etc., forever.
I did get a flu shot about a month ago
(because of the severity scare) but it
didn't seem to make a difference.
I've only had a day or two that i've felt
able to even go shopping --
at least on christmas I was ok.
The doc is wondering if this is
fibromyalgia, which i've found on this
site under 'mental disorders'!! Or
'lupus'. Hello!
I know there are lots of folks with fibro,
maybe we could compare symptoms.
Anyone feeling like I am?

I've had the same thing...At least your
doctor is considering other things. Mine
just tell me to get more rest or take more
antibiotics (which don't work). I've
been resting more than ever, drinking
water, taking vitamins, nothing is
working!
I have a history of being pretty
susceptible to colds and uris and I get
joint aches and go through periods of
fatigue that just really take me down.
I'm looking for answers as well - other
than, i'm a busy mother of three...And I
need to slow down!
