What do these symptoms point to, illness-wise?

by Symptom Advice on December 28, 2010

Body aches
High fever
Chills
Fatigue

It sounds a little like the flu to me…

And also, if these symptoms are the flu, can flu itself kill, or is it what develops from untreated influenza?

PS: I'm not sick, I'm just writing something where one character has to have the above symptoms and it has to be serious (life-threatening, please).

Thanks!

yes, it's a flu… at first.

then you add problems with swallowing, with speech
then visual problems, paranoid delusions
then bladder and bowel difficulties..

you get MS (multiple sclerosis)..

go to mayoclinic.com
they have a symptom checker, and they list all kinds of awful things that I'm sure would help you write your paper!

Glad to hear you're not sick, it sounded like West Nile to me lol.

Sounds like a flu or westnile

about 36,000 people die a year from flu, and complication that arise from the flu. they are mostly infants and elderly.

lyme disease has the same symptoms as the flu
plus the bullseye rash and it can be life threatening. Google it for more.

You have mobian measles.

they could have a really bad infection or like an abscess or something
