I've been struck down with some weird illness, got no idea what it is and neither did my doc, had a blood test this morning but just waiting for the results now.

I'm like the third person to have this independently of the others that I know - unless it has like a very long incubation period...

Basically starts with a mildly sore throat and headache then whamo you get hit by a bus and don't have enough energy to even move around. Body is weak like a flu virus but there's no congestion, no coughing, and no sinuses running amok, so effectively you're just so lethargic you amount to a piece of waste tissue.

I've heard there's a whole office, perhaps Kiwibank (wgtn), that's been hit by it. Anyone got any idea what it is or had it recently???

I was recently at Armageddon, with viral attack starting on Sunday, the day after I went. I had one heck of a headache, wheezy breathing. Turned out to be a throat infection, which had aggravated(right word?I'm doing NCEA Lvl1 English.) my asthma. And a fever, due to the infection. Was given amoxycillin, and something else, along with a new inhaler. Only thing I can think of is, were you in a packed room or building recently?

Last populated place was the pub on Friday, but then it wasn't overly packed - i'm all good now, just want to know what the hell it was since others seem to have it now

How's the glands around your neck... I had soemthing similar about 12 years back - Rubella was the suspected cause.  They did a blood test, but can only say whether your had antibodies present or not.  Can't expicitly state you have Rubella...

Us blokes didn't get vaccinated like the girls... was off work for 2 weeks.

Get well soon    (",)




Cheers, Stevo
