Guillian Barre-Syndrome
Hello, I am twenty one years old, male, and had a fever of 102 just a few days ago. It came with a sore throat and doctor diagnosed it as strep throat, and I have been on antibiotics ever since. Prior to getting sick, I was doing intense body weight exercises. Now that my fever is gone, some of my muscles are still feeling very weak, especially arms.
I am having more difficult time shaving, driving, typing, and grooming. My symptoms have not been improving and I read an article that an infection can trigger Guillian barr syndrome. Does it sould like I have that? I really hope i don't, because I have a life to live, and I was hoping someone here could help me.

Hi. Thank you so much for taking time to responding to my issue. Fortunately, I have managed to slowly recooperate. I think you may have been right with what was going on with me. I had a major fever and it is going to take a lot of time and patience to fully recover. I am feeling much better now and I am happy with the progress.
Again, thank you so much!
Best regards,

Post viral fatigue syndrome is probably what you have and this is a very common disorder. Also there are no magic pills for it.

Eat 5-7 small regular meals every day. Drink plenty of water. Do deep breathing exercises. Join a good trainer and start an exercise program that will help you build up stamina. Try doing an activity a day that interests you. Try to remain calm.
