Post viral symptoms / syndrome

I'm near tears. All this, could have been my words. All of it. It started as a sinusinfection with blocked maxillary sinus infection. Then they said an upper viral respetory infection on top of that. I went through xrays, ct scans and mri's of my neck and brain. Countless bloodwork. Swollen glands all the way around my neck. Swollen face. Swollen lymphnodes. Night sweats. Arm weakness. Stiff jaw and neck (worst sympton at the time). Tightness in chest. Strange feeling in my pinky's. Weakness in upper body muscles. I'm currently on steroids, antibiotics, afrin and flonase as i'm still battingn the maxillary infection along with all the other symptons nobody can find a cause for on paper. How is everybody doing? I'm so overwhelmed. Its been six weeks and it suddenly feels like i'm understood. Oh my god.

I'm experiencing the exact same thing! It all started in November of 2015 after getting laryngitis. The symptoms seemed to have subsided mostly after the virus ran its course but some strange symptoms lingered. Blurred vision, head pressure, numbness, to fling and fatigue. It went on for months and months but wasn't always bothersome. It came and went. Then my son got adenovirus and ended up hospitalized for it. I believe that I got the same thing vecause I ended up more sick than I've ever been in my life. This was in August of 2016. Since then, my symptoms have been out of control. I can't even list them all because there are so many. My body will go from freezing cold to burning hot within seconds, sometimes it will feel like my skin is being burned for a second, I have numbness, tingling, flushing of my skin, low-grade fevers, flu-like aches and uncontrollable chills, recurrenr sore throats, head pressure, ears feel full and won't pop, vertigo, right jaw and neck, feeling like there's a rod in my spine and neck, burning ribs, IBS, food allergies, hives, constant itching, tightness in my chest like I'm getting pneumonia but it never progresses, constant fluid in my lungs and in my head, feeling like my skin can't stretch, extreme muscle weakness and fatigue, a very subtle buzzing feeling throughout my entire body, feeling like my heart is beating too slow or too fast, chest pain, floaters in my eyes, pain in my fingertips and on my scalp, shortness of breathe, a feeling like hot liquid is running through my body, feeling like someone injected my nerves with nitrogen, feeling like I'm going to have a seizure at any moment. The list goes on and on and on and on. I miss the old me. I have a 19 month old son and I'm 13 weeks pregnant. Being sick with pregnancy * going through this has me feeling like I'm dying. Some days I can't even take care of my son. Blood work is normal and my MRI was perfectly clean. My husband has MS and my son has a condition called FPIES that makes it so that he only has 5 safe foods and he goes into shock from even a crumb on the floor. Having my health decline on top of all of it has me feeling so hopeless

This is just a quick message to everyone on here with post viral. There's a lot of nessages here from people who are suffering from it and feel like that the rest of their life will be like this. Frankly, it's not true. For a fact I had post viral badly. Couldn't walk for months. All the strangest neurological symptoms you could imagine...I was convinced this would be my life... and I'm now 100% better and back to my normal self like nothing happened. It took me about a year to get back to normal from when I was hit hard with the flu. Let me tell you this, reading up and self diagnosing and asking strangers on the internet isn't the way to do it. You'll make yourself worse. I worked out that most of the info I was getting was from elderly, depressed folk who haven't helped themselves to get better. Think extremely positive, get into fitness 5 days a week (even if it's just a run/walk), get on a good diet, go out and socialise and have fun and stay happy. The body will bounce back. However, the mind is very powerful and it won't let you if you're convinced you'll be like this forever (I know I did). Forget doctors, there's no medicine for post viral. See a good naturopath and explain everything- you'll be surprised how great they are. I'm more than happy to have to chat to anyone going through the hardships, but honestly, only you can make yourself better. Goodluck and stay positive, you will get better

Once it has gone on for longer it will become cfs/me 85% of ME cases start with a virus mine did 25 years ago!

Hi Ellie how long did it take to get over the virus.

I'm into my third week now

I feel like you did

Heavy headed

Off balance

Weak

Un focused

Appitite is so low.

Just want to lay still

I had other symptoms but no longer have them I'm not sure if I need to go to have a blood test or just ride it out . I've been to doctors called emergency doctors and they arnt helping they said my blood pressure temperature is normal I just feel far from normal.

What shall I do ?? Please help anyone

Hi Elle, not sure if you're still following this Thread, but I'm going to reply hopefully that you read this. So I recently turned 19 I've been to the emergency room twice of course nothing turned up with the test.

My Symptoms:

Initial Symptoms:

-Pins and Needles(Feel as if my legs were asleep)

-Numb feeling in Shin.

Those kind of went away, unless I lay/sit in a certain position.

-Muscle Weakness

If I run up the stairs, my legs would feel tired, then if I run down my legs wouldn't feel tired. Which is weird.

-Muscle Aches and Pain

-Twitching throughout my body(Cheek, Legs, Feet, and Arms)

Now searching frantically through the internet just makes me even more nervous, which is causing anxiety and depressed. I've read through a lot of this thread, I'm going to a neurologist soon, all I can do is hope and pray.
