viruses with the exception of mono (mononucleosis) do not last six weeks. just because a cause has not been found does not mean your doctor should give up looking. did he check your thyroid? did he do a mono test? liver function tests? blood culture? are you depressed or under stress? there are more things that can be done so until you are feeling better jenny your doctor needs to continue your diagnostic work-up or send you to a specialist.
i've been achy all over weak and out of breath for 6 weeks. i feel feverish but no fever. is this likely to be a virus? . no sore throat no cough or cold. clear chest x-ray nothing odd popping up on bloodwork. negative lyme ana esr. i've had no improvement or change with symptoms for 6 weeks now! going crazy. doctors don't know what's wrong with me. what else should i do to help diagnose this? . if this is a virus is it "normal" to last 6 weeks with no improvement? . is it okay to run errands or should i just stay in bed for a week to get over this? . thanks! . jenny
