Hi
Have had Coxsackie b Virus when i was 23 lasted about a year before recovering
Im now 44 In the last year i have had episodes of which feels like it has returned but persevered at my work and recuperated twice
However i have recently had an episode to which it feels that bad i have had to take sick from my work
It started with quite severe pains in my joints and my knees bearing the worst of the pain also muscle pains thats come and go in different parts of my body and also my whole inside from my intestines upwards sore sternum,sore throats, headaches the feeling of blurred vision
Have been to see the doctor had every blood test including Thyroid but all have come back clear the doc diagnosed post viral illness because of my non specific pains
Im really fed up stressed and not knowing what to do

If your doctor is not going to continue to test, maybe you should see another one. Sometimes it takes finding a doctor that wont give up to get the right diagnosis. My best luck was with a Rheumatologist. He was able to provide me the best answers and ran more tests than my standard doctor. Good luck!
The ANA test is used to test for Lupus and a few other auto-immune diseases. Ask him to rule out Lupus and lyme disease and then look into fibromyalgia. Good luck.
What is ANA?
Had Thyroid check, Organ functions checked, blood in bowel checked
basically the doc said i have been tested for every thing possible in my blood
I asked about getting a an X Ray to see if their is anything in my chest because of the ache in my sterum muscle but he seems adamant its a post viral illness
Not sure where to go now as concerning my health issue
