I'm not feelin' too good myself...

[Stumbo]

Full body aches since Friday. No fever, no cough, or intestinal problems. So not the flu. Third time in six weeks. Only pain meds and water.

If I don't move and stay under a blanket I feel tiny bit better.

I did get out Friday afternoon and visit the Charter/Spectrum cable co. Just happens to be about 2 minutes away.

Upped my internet to 400 and got second DVR. Cut out all premium channels.

Like a new world!

I can't really move w/o pain.

Yes you can. Went merrily off to get a new DVR and cable subscription.

Yeah, that was the last thing until curling up in my casita. I tried to keep going but no can do.

Like said before, this is how RA starts. You need to get a simple blood test to check your Rheumatoid Factor. Your GP can do that for you. No need for a rheumatologist unless your Rheumatoid factor comes back from the lab high. Hope you feel better.

Will do.

Seriously...sorry to hear that. Could be a form of flu. Flu comes in all kinds of versions.

I am on day eight of some sort of flu. Feeling a bit better now but have had a sore throat for a couple of days, now; I was running between 99.8º and 101º all week, but it seems to be down, now. Plus, other gross stuff I won't throw at all y'all.

I had flu the first time. All kinds of nasty stuff.

Hope you feel better!

I had some eggs for breakfast, a banana for lunch and just got done with a small bowl of chicken soup my wife cooked fro scratch!

Mmmm...good.

I keep drinking water and peeing out the dam virus.

Hopefully I'll be able to around tomorrow.

Drink plenty of liquids. If that doesn't work, drink plenty of solids. That probably won't work, but it should be fun to watch.

Yeah, no. I can barely lift my head off the pillow.

I was feeling really lethargic, too. Got lots of sleep, though, which I am usually sorely lacking in. I am sick of drinking, at this point. I haven't even pickups a bass since last weekend (I did play a couple of my acoustic guitars, though ).

https://www.talkbass.com/members/stumbo.110359/ , sorry to hear about your infirmity: hope you get to feeling better! hang in.

See a doctor. Otherwise I've got nuthin. Feel better, @Stumbo .

 

[Joe Nerve]

I'm with @hrodbert696 . I'm the last guy to recommend a doctor as the first course of action, but with things like you're describing, I don't mess around. If it's some sort of bacterial thing going on, they can knock it right out of you. Untreated, well... you can use your imagination. Pete Steele played hero with some sort of flu like symptoms he thought would pass. Then his girlfriend finally dragged him to a hospital.

Wishing you well, and hoping we scared you a little.

Exactly. You probably need to see your GP anyway if you need a rheumatology referral. It's not a fun diagnosis but it's treatable - I have for 20 years now. Good luck and here's hoping it's not.

Day 9 of infirmity for me. Flu that turned into pneumonia. At the hospital today for the second time going thru more tests. May or may not still be pneumonia!?!. Lots of questions about my heart - yikes.

Haven’t slept properly in a week.
