Virus Going Around

Hi ladies!

Quick question, do any of y'all know, or have heard of, a virus going around lately?  I have some sort of bug (started with a sore throat, now just body aches and lathargic, low grade fever for a couple of days).  Does anyone know if some sort of virus is going around?

Thanks! :)

  • My brother had that and it turned out to be strep throat. Get to a doctor if you don't feel better soon.

    I've been without insurance for awhile, and I finally get insurance on August 1, so I'm telling my  body to get over it, lol.!

    Stupid question, but... can you get strep throat if you don't have your tonsils?

    Yes, you can. We have had a stomach virus and cold making it's way through our family but nothing strep throat-like. Hope you feel better soon.

  • DH had similar symptoms a couple weeks ago when he had strep. It's been really making it's rounds nationwide! Most people have been surprised that they have strep because it isn't giving the stereo typical strep symptoms people thing of.

  • I've had this "virus" twice. It included sore throat, ear ache (ringing), difficulty swallowing, swollen lymph nodes in neck and shoulders, tiredness, somewhat lethargic, chest congestion,  I was tested for Strep, came back negative. Went to the doctor and was just told it is just a sore throat. I was given nothing. I was sick about two weeks, then it went away as fast as it came. THEN a week later I got it yet again, but this time is was less severe, no tiredness, or lethargy, just incredibly sore throat with ear ache, and chest congestion. That lasted about a week.

    I don't know what it is, but it really sucks.  Hope you haven't caught it.

  • strep. Three of my nieces had it.
