I would like to give you a chance, at least. My question stems from my wife s and my recent diagnoses by our family doctors after a couple of weeks of suffering with symptoms from some horrible virus. We both agree with our doctors that we have bronchitis. Just not sure what it was that gave it to us. Original symptoms: a tickle in the upper center chest, fever going up to about 101.5 F after a few hours, debilitating body muscle aches (my wife complained of pain in her ribs, mine started in my right shoulder blade, radiated to my shoulder and arm, then across my back, down my back, into my hips and legs. The sensation for both of us was much like that of the pain associated with shingles (we ve both had it, in 1982) only not nearly that intense; just that same tingling that makes you not want anything touching ny skin surface. My wife started having light symptoms on 4/30, mine started on 5/3. We still both have low-grade fever (99.5) and weakness, and severe cough. My wife also has sinus infection, which she seems to have accompanying any respiratory ailment. Appropriate prescriptions from both doctors, cough syrup plus Z-pak for my wife s sinus infection. We just still feel knocked out by something that really hasn t been explained by bronchitis .
