I’m getting really frustrated. I got a little sick over thanksgiving. Used the sauna and managed to kick it fairly quickly. Then I was really sick over Christmas. Spent Christmas Eve and Christmas in bed. That one lasted over a week. Now I’m sick again. Only this time it was directly after eating at a restaurant. 2 hours after my adenoids were so swollen I could hardly swallow. That progressed to an ear infection by morning. Lasted a few days, and then it was just the bloody dry snot in the nose and a sore throat . Until last night when it developed into a sinus infection. Today is day 10. I’m fed up with being sick and unsure what to do. I’m on Buhner Lyme and Bartonella treatment. I take elderberry syrup when sick.
I’m wondering if this is an mcas reaction? The reason being it’s sudden onset, and last night I was exposed to Lysol spray. And now I’m way worse. I’m tired, frustrated, and trying to work full time through this.
Any advice?

Sorry you haven’t been feeling well!
I know what you mean - my husband had the RSV just after Xmas and then I got it.
I’ve had it for over a week and I’m finally feeling better.
I was choking on phlegm when I laid down to go to sleep.
Last night was a good night so I think it’s on it’s way “out”

can we just call it fluvid? : i truley believe what most are experiencing as reoccurring illness is a mutated strain meant to be more virulent and incapacitate the immune system. because of this it does not always show up on fast pcr tests .
once the spiked protiens get intercellular and start replication whatever latent systemic infections the person has come raging to the surface. i have seen people generally get cf from ebv , shingles from hh2 and yes even simple staph and strep become a chore for the now taxed immune system. i have even seen kidney failure, cancer and yes lyme resurgence after this stealthy form of long haul.

if one is unable to do 6-8weeks of ivermectin or alinia they should do the equivalent in colliodal silver and/or anti-malarials . or it will ieep coming back again again ...licorice tea and osha root seem effective also.

GoatLady:

Have you been to a doctor? If you have a bacterial infection in your sinus and/or ears, you may need an antibiotic. There's been a few of us on here who have dealt/are still dealing with issues for weeks. You can read some of the comments HERE, if you have any interest.

I resisted taking an antibiotic until around Day 14 of my issue, as it wasn't going away and felt like it was worsening. In my case, it did seem to help. I'm certainly not one to push antibiotics for every cough or sniffle, as I'd not taken one for seven years. But, there are instances where they may be needed.

As someone who has chemical sensitivity, I empathize with you being exposed to a blast of Lysol. My reaction may not be as severe as yours, but that would make me feel nauseous and many exposures to various fumes will trigger a migraine for me.

I wish you well in trying to get to the bottom of your issue and hope you're feeling better soon.

sounds like just a few bouts of different viruses one after the other

i have had two myself since before Christmas

many friends and relatives have had 3 in a row also

just seems to be a particularly bad year for respiratory viruses

I have not seen a doctor. Last time I was on antibiotics (for Lyme) I felt as bad or worse than I do now. I’m on herbal antibiotics/antivirals and trying all the things to feel better.
I refuse to take a Covid test, so don’t know if it’s Covid. I believe in December what I has was the flu. I’m just discouraged as I don’t normally get multiple respiratory illnesses in the winter, let alone with only a week off between them.

Hi, GoatLady:

I also refused a COVID test, after asking if a positive result would alter treatment guidance. I was told the advice for COVID treatment is the same for cold and flu. Thus, I saw no point in testing. Whatever I had, thankfully, it didn't get into my chest. I'm still dealing with a lingering cough, but it's non-productive and mostly annoying.

Previously, I didn't notice your signature line. I now see you're a Master Herbalist. Thus, you certainly know more than me about non-pharmaceutical treatments. So, I will just say that I wish you well and hope your illness passes soon. (Also, I like your screen name. Goats are neat animals.)
