Sick with unknown virus for over 3 months
Posted , 3 users are following.
Myself, a colleague and her friend (who is an air steward), all became ill during first week of August. My symptoms began with a low back ache and then a sudden bout of diarrhoea. Then I would get spells of feeling unwell. I would yawn excessively, have discomfort in intestinal area, bad taste in mouth, burp excessively, have indigestion and heartburn. The diarrhoea and stomach problems lasted for 2 months. All blood tests fine and an ultrasound and endoscopy were clear. Then I had a period of feeling unbalanced when walking and having intense nausea. Then I had a few weeks of intense body aches all over, arms and legs, back then aching gland areas, back of my neck, groin, arm pits. Sometimes I have strange throbbing in abdo, in sinus area or in ear. Both other two women report exactly same symptoms. We feel better some weeks but then it just returns again. My GP just says it’s a virus. We are at our wits end and frightened that it’s going on for so long with no end in sight. Has anyone else heard of a virus like this????

When you complain about so much, you overwhelm doctors and we dismiss you as neurotic (e.g. when you say something like “I’m burping excessively”).
If you want to get anywhere - you need to decide what the main issue is and focus on that.
