  • Diagnose Boshko!

    Have had this since Thursday night my time (about noonish Thursday EST), the basic symptoms are:

    -Massive fatigue. For example I went to bed at 9 PM yesterday despite normally going to bed at 2PMish, despite waking up 8 minutes later than normal.

    -Alternating chills (which includes shivering while at work while wearing a coat) and feeling really hot, chills more common though. Might have a fever, but I don't have a thermometer.

    -Really nasty sinus headaches under my left (and only my left) temple, eyebrow and cheekbone (this sympom only developed in the last few days). When I shake my head I hear this cool sloshing sound that seems to origonal from my temple.

    -Plugged-up nose, mucus sometimes green.

    -Sore throat.

    -Little cough, not bad at all, but the ocassional green phlegm worries me a bit.

    -Quesy stomach/loss of appetite.

    -Face gets funky skeletal look late at night.

    I've been taking a lot of acetaminaphen and ibuprofen which do a great job against most of the symptoms (especially the fatigue and the alternating chills/heat), except for the headache. So I'm basically functional as long as I keep pill-popping but when I wake up I'm generally a wreck, same goes if I don't go to bed really early or go to long without taking the pills.

    On thursday the headache was pretty minimal and the sore throat was a lot worse, besides that everythings stayed about steady.

    So either I've got the worst flu of my life (got basically every flu symptom) or I've got something else and I'd appreciate any information as to which it is. And yes, I trust Apolyton VASTLY more than small town Korean doctors.

                Sounds like it could be glandular fever...

                          Not especially, I just feel tired and sluggish generally.

                          What's that?

                          I would really appreciate real advice
