question: Hello,       I am experiencing muscle cramps, runny nose, diarrhea, headache, cough (worse at night), nausea, sore throat, and earache. I'm not sure if its just a common cold or if it is something viral. I went to the doctor 5/2/17 and I was told it was just a cold. They wanted to place me on steroids however my physicians at John Hopkins didn't approved the steroids and told me not to take that prescription due to other medical history.I believe I may also have bacteria vaginosis, I'm not sure if that could be related at all however I do feel miserable. If you have any advice please let me know.
