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?

Flu For 3 Months

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!
