I've been sick for four and a half weeks now. It started with really phlegmy cough, body aches, fever, lack of appetite, upset stomach, and insomnia. The cough and fever have been gone for two and a half weeks but I'm still fatigued and restless. Sometimes I feel like I have a really mild cold. Also I still have bad indigestion. Some body aches too. Alcohol definitely makes things worse. I have a very physical job and getting less hours is like pulling teeth but working too much brought the symptoms back. I miss sleeping a full night. The symptoms aren't keeping me up, just can't shut my brain off at night. I took a zpak and it did nothing for me. Now I'm trying a ton of supplements and kombucha. I hope that starts helping soon. I'm so tired of this. The woman I got this from still has s cough but I don't think she's nearly as ill as I still am. Anyone else suffering a long illness?
