Viruses have to take their course as horrible as they are. Norwalk is the most virulent virus and easily passed on, if someone touches something who hasn't washed their hands after being sick or using the loo then you touch it and then eat or bite your nails you can get it, also coughing & sneezing into the hand and just wipping it down themselves than shake your hand is a way of getting it and other viruses. Wash your hands after flushing and always before you eat. Dont use anything to bung yourself up with just let your body expell all the bad stuff.

I agree with ringshank.  There is NO REASON you should have to be living in that condition.  I would call the Health Department or find out who you can call to report the conditions.  Chances are you're not the only one sick.

I agree. They would be treating very agressively if this were true. Is he sick? Does he cough a lot? Any hair loss? Bruising? Frequent hospital visits? Surgery? Sounds to me like a play.

You gave very little info so this is only a guess.\n\nMaybe this patient had some kind of hypersensitivity reaction.\n\nNot sure.

Question: As a child did you ever run a really high temp? My brother ran a sudden high fever(cause never found, of 105 and soaring)that nearly killed him. He was wrapped in towels and buried in a tub of ice to bring the fever down. But while waiting on the ice to be brought he was bathed from head to toe in rubbing alchol. At that time the doctor did the only things he knew to do. The fever came down but my brothers normal temp of 98.6 was changed to 96.0. So a temp of 99.0 is not low grade fever anymore; at least not for him.  Are you under great amounts of stress? Stress can do wild things to your body. Under tremendos stress  the muscles literally separated from the bones in my chest area. Doctor's at first thought it was a heart attack but my pulse did not indicate such to be the case. I felt as if a huge weight had been droped on my chest, but it was stress. Vicatin would not even allow my body any relief, and the doctors had said if it didn't help that morphine was the next step.Fianlly, after several months of just letting nature run its course; I finally stopped hollering with every breath. I would shake like I was in a ice house on min. and feel normal the next; but my temp. was up and down like a yoyo. Do you have any other symptoms, coughing, sneezing,dizzy spells, black outs, nausea? Have you been to a doctor yet? If not; I strongly reccommend you go see one immediately. Keep in mind not all diseases or illness's cause the same reaction in a person. You can take 50 people with the flu. Some it turns into more upper respitory infections, and some of those can be fatal. Others just feel crappy and tired. While some can't see much difference in the flu and what most people would call a bad cold. My temp. runs 98.6; 99.0 is low grade, and any thing more than 102.6 I start calling the doctor. As I said I strongly reccomend you go straight to a doctor and have them check you out. I wish you well.

A UTI will often present as sudden onset dementia - once he's put on a simple antibiotic, you may see a dramatic improvement.\n\nGood luck, I hope he improves.

when i had them i was told that the spread by contact, using stuff that the patient has used and even getting too close to the sick person.\n\nHope you get better soon.\njust remember to NOT scratch or the pox will leave scars forever like they did to me. 2 on arms and 1 on foot.

Wow! I have never heard of such a thing. I would really really really recommend her seeing a doctor. It could be simply two different problems; Severe simus infection and gas/indigestion. I'm no doctor so I am sorry I cannot diagnose her for ya. Take her to a doctor, it could possibly be a serious condition. Good luck to you and tell your aunt I hope she finds out what this is and gets better!

hey bro, let me do you a favor off the course. sure things can be passed on to one another i.e. viruses, disease, behavioral patterns, peer pressure etc., please do not buy into this line of thinking. my buddy received his full head of grey at age 19, right after his car ran off the road and down in a ditch only to be rescued later by luck. take a step back, don't overthink it and then move on without making this an issue.

I participated in a health research study a few years back. At the end of the study, they did a MRI scan on my brain.  They found some white spots all over the brain.  \n\nIt was determined that the sheaf, (Myelin) which is the outer coating of the nerves in the brain, had been apparently eaten away for some unknown reason. That was the white spots.  I was told it could have been some kind of virus.  Still don't know. I was also told that I might get Dementia in my old age.  So far, I'm doing good.  \n\nThere is a whole lot of information on the Internet.  But by all means, keep in contact with your husband's doctor so he/she can run additional tests from time to time TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY CHANGE.  Its better knowing I think.   Good luck.  (sorry for yelling)

Could be a number of things. Many viruses can cause this type of reaction but most likely its an allergic reaction to something in her environment.  Have your recently purchased a new type of laundry detergent, body wash, or any other product that might come in contact with the skin? if so you could try switching and see if this helps.  Has your wife bought any clothing lately and worn them without washing them first? Many people are sensitive to the dies and other chemicals that might be on new unlaundered garments especially blue jeans.  Look at what you have consumed within the last week and see if their is anything out of the routine that she has eaten.  all in all I would suggest having your family doctor check it out especially if she is pregnant or expecting.

I have seen this quite a few times in elderly people after the flu jab. He does need to see his GP who will more than likely say that it's nothing to do with the flu jab but I'm not convinced as I see too much of this to be a coincidence. Make sure he is adequately hydrated & fed as he may not have been looking after himself if he was feeling rough. I wish you well.
