What is wrong with my DH?

Because if I didn't know better, I'd think he was pg.

He has been 'off' since Friday. The first day we thought it was the flu - body aches, fevery feeling, no appetite. Tons of sleep. After that, the aches went away, he does feel hungry, but has been so nauseous he is afraid to eat but forces himself to.

He sounds congested here and there and nearly lost his voice, but has used a neti pot and taken various decongestants and it's not making the random nausea go away. He's also a gray-green color during these episodes, so I don't think he's just playing mind games with himself.

It sounds like a first trimester. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: What is wrong with my DH?

  • combination of seasonal allergies (mine have kicked in over the weekend) and food allergies that are getting more severe is my final answer!

  • I'll agree with pp
  • pgh, I agree with you. He went through something similar before his LI was diagnosed.

    He will never go to the doctor.
  • There is a stomach bug going around.  (I'm home with it today).  Maybe that is what he has.
  • If it was the stomach thing, wouldn't he have gotten physically sick already? We're talking 4 days now and he's eating with no issues.
  • fevery and achey can be seasonal allergies too... it could really just be that. Phlegm can = nausea ya know?

  • Yes, he probably would have gotten sick by now.  I had the chills yesterday but I didn't start getting sick until 5:00 this morning.
  • I hope you feel better soon Becky! At this rate, I imagine you will before my DH does.
  • Thanks!  My fear is always getting sick at work and having to get home through an hour and a half of public transportation so I'm glad it started while I was still home!

    I hope your DH feels better too!

  • Not sure - could be what Meg suggested.  But we're not medical experts, he should see a doctor!
  • Yeah, jdn - he should definitely see an allergist if nothing else. Won't happen.

    The last time I got him to go to the doctor, he had acute bronchitis. He won't even find a primary care doctor. It is very, very frustrating.

  • That must be frustrating.  A doctor should be able to tell him what's wrong, even if it's just a virus.  DH is the opposite, he runs to the doctor for every ailment!

  • he sould go to the doctor, I felt like that when I had Pneumonia (I didnt even sound that congested) but I looked green/pale and had a constant low fever with some spiked fevers, and the aches and fatigue were killer.....Or maybe he's preggers!
