i think my doc gave up, i got some elderberry yesterday and ordered shark liver oil. I may get some grape seed extract (i got to make sure i dont really have some first )

Hopefully my body just beats it soon its just annoying because its slowing my progress

Taking probiotics, Vitamin C as you already do and grape seed extract= a very potent and strong immune system. I do not get sick and I attribute that to taking my probiotics, viatmin c, and grape seed extract. Beyond that I'm a health nut anyway...lol. .

Naturally, this is the best immune system stack I can recommend. I suggest if adding grape seed extract doesn't do anything than definitely make sure you have your doctor get to the bottom of whatever the hell is making you feel like A$$ because working out is only going to make matters worse and hinder any progress or gains.

Hopefully you get better soon bud. Take care of yourself.

I got tested 2 years back, and i gave blood say 8 months ago (they would reject my blood if had aids).

No way i got aids during that 8months time (same girl) unless she cheated on me (highly doubt) or unless it hasn't showed up in the blood (not sure how soon it does this.

Ill prob get retested in the next couple of months to be on the safe side.

Drinking Pure Apple Cider Vinegar diluted as 1/8 cup to 8oz water will help for sinus infections etc. Helps me. Go see a naturopath maybe you have a adverse reaction to something you are ingesting on a daily basis?

*Edit* Sorry late to the party.

Perhaps stop taking 50 different 'supplements' and see if it clears up. Did you start a new vitamin / supp weeks before you got sick again. You need to back off of almost everything 1) Eat Healthy 2) Lots of high quality clean water 3) Rest 8 - 10hrs a night.

I mean you don't know it might even be the water you're drinking but until you narrow it down and stop moving forward with all these 'cures' you're not going to find out the cause. It's like when doing tech support you start with "Is the computer plugged in?" and work from there.

Hiv takes anywhere from 3-6 months after exposure to develop antibodies that would be detectable on the standard test used for screening the ELISA.

Honestly i wouldn't lose any sleep over it because i SERIOUSLY doubt this is the case. It's always good to get tested though as a screening because symptoms don't show until immunosuppression begins to advance which in most people is about 8-10 years.

If this doctor isn't answering your questions/concerns my advice is to fire him and get a new doctor that will.

Okay so my stomachs been hurting allot since fri night (i didn't eat anything out of the ordinary) sort of a sharp pain, i can eat allot but just hurts...anyways so Sunday night i couldn't sleep and froze my ass off shivering (with like 5 blankets on) all night with a temperature

took off work today still have a temp of 100, my stomach hurts, no clue why and i feel like crap from no sleep...my whole body hurts so its hard to sleep.

I'm not sure if its worth seeing my doctor :-\

[neoborn]

Seriously!!! Go see your Dr or one that gives a flying fck about you. This is NOT GOOD!

Again Seriously! Don't say I didn't warn you.

Man, I am seriously curious now to see what the hell is wrong with you? Hopefully your DR. does his or her f*cking job and gives you a proper diagnosis.

From the sounds of your symptoms it could be a variety of things so I can't narrow it down and say what it could be. Besides its better to get a professional opinion. Keep us posted...hopefully you get better soon because your current situation has got to indeed suck monkey nutz!

docs office called and said in response to my call and email, my WBC is normal and so is the rest of my blood work. The reg nurse that i spoke with said that i could come in to get looked at again but she acted like i should just wait and week and see :-\

...i finally got shark liver oil and started that today, my temp is 99.3 now, and my stomach still hurts allot. The docs office was basically trying to deal with each item not the cause (mucinex, robatusin, advil, peptobismol...)

The lady said that according to the doc he thinks its allergies and that i could go to a allergist if i wanted to for a second opinion.

Right now i doubt ill be able to go to work tomorrow. Ill keep you guys updated.

I agree that your bloodwork is completely normal, however things can change quickly. The symptoms you describe and the length of the issue leads me to believe you're dealing with some viral syndrome that is lingering. This time of year the E.R. gets overwhelmingly busy with people that have viral complaints similar to yours. If you continue to get worse and your doctor is not satisfying your concerns, like i said fire him and go see a new PMD who will fully address your concerns. Let us know how it turns out.

I'm not sure I would put a whole lot of faith in all of the different prescriptions that can potentially cause other problems.

I personally think natural is the way to go unless you have no other options.

I would perhaps look into a naturopath. Iridology could tell you what is going on, I have also heard good things about this:

Apparently chiro's and other naturopath offices may have these.

I dont want to sound like a d1ck but maybe its your mind playing tricks on you?

About 10 years ago I was at a stressful job and developed severe stomach pain problems. Nausea, fatigue, weight loss also. I saw all kinds of doctors about it - couldent find anything specific wrong with me. Turned out it was nothing physical - just my minds way of dealing with stress. Quit the job and I was fine.

I thought I was dying of cancer. However when it turned out to be in my head, that was almost more disturbing.

The mind is a very powerful thing.

my temp stopped tues morning. It went up to 102 that night after i posted.
I think the shark liver oil helped because i woke up wed feeling SOO much better, i actually went to work!

I still have no appetite though! its so weird i want to eat but looking at food doesn't really appeal to me, and i have no taste buds (it seems like) everything tastes like cardboard.

My dad thinks my appetite will come back soon...*i hope*

Im at work now posting and i feel pretty good besides the whole eating thing...

the supps im taking are:
multi vit, flaxseed oil, shark liver oil, probiotics, vit c (alot), vit d (codliver oil), garlic, and zma.

[rabican]

I called doc and they said that this sometimes happens with stomach flues and that it could take up to two weeks for my taste to come back. *i hope not!*

Iv been mainly eating fruit, protien shakes, and trying to bear through oatmeal, soup, shagetti...i havent really been eating any meat or bread (tastes the worse prob bc its hard on my stomach).

The taste is better better im not sure if im getting used to it or its going away alittle each day...but the first day i wanted to die i couldnt eat anything and felt like throwing up each time i did eat

iv been taking alot of shark liver oil and probiotics so i hope this helps me get over this illness....

Oh i was curious if Cycle Support - Life Support was a good product to get to help clean out my body...make sure its running good once im finally over this illness?
Im also considering a niacin fluss (never done it before).

thanks guys. ttyl
