Do you think this is the flu: chills and sweats for over 1 week (started 1/5/09), extremely fatigued, no congestion or cold symptoms, no fever (97.5), had hiccups and vomited for the first 3 days mostly bile, was brown in color before seeing a MD (who prescribed Vicodin, Levaquin, Promethazine, Protonix, and liquid to soft diet). Has a history of esophageal hernia and recurrent kidney stones (takes Allopurinol). Now consistently sore in the diaphragm area, has a hypersensitive gag reflex, and a hoarse voice. Had small bowel movement for the first time today 1/12/09, causing a gag reflex from pushing. Last BM prior to this was 1/6/09. Has mostly been forcing down small amounts of yogurt, soup, cream of wheat, shakes. Also has a lot of burping. Finally took the Vicodin 2x's today and the diaphragm is starting to "feel better".
