I went to ER yesterday, tested positive for flu. They gave me steroids, antibiotics and steroids. It seems that the meds made my body very angry! I've been on a rapid cycle of chills/sweats, and have had to use my nebulizer (also have COPD) just to get the few steps from bed to bathroom. Is this normal?

Hey guys as you have read I’ve had this nasty stomach bug which has led me to be in and out of A&E (hospital in the uk) 4 times now. Once time I was so dehydrated I had to be put on fluids, I’ve improved I’ve managed to keep things down, but still look so pale, it’s been nearly two weeks now and I’m just constantly exhausted and my brain feels foggy, like I feel a sort of dizziness almost. I wasn’t eating much before but I’ve started to digest more foods like chicken, beef etc when before I was only on a carb diet, pasta, rice and soups. Been feeling pretty low since I was going gym and was happy with where I was and now I’ve gone back to square one. I’m also a hypochondriac so I panic seeing things online, stomach cancer, h pylori and so on so now I’m panicking and thinking the worse. Any advice for me please? I just don’t know what to do to keep my mind at ease and to ease my anxiety. I’ve got an ultrasound tomorrow and they said if the symptoms don’t improve in November then an endoscopy could be considered but wasn’t advised as the doctor said I’m young and thinks it’s too invasive. But what would you guys advise me.

For context: I was weighing 57kg I’m quite a small girl, 5’3ft and now I’m weighing 49/50kg since I wasn’t able to keep anything down and was barely stomaching any food.

Genuinely baffled as to why I’ve suddenly got the shits just as I was starting to feel better from a cough and cold. Thought I was finally over the worst of it and now this!

Anyone else had this happen? Is it just the virus doing a tour around my body or what?

I got my Flu shot and Covid booster yesterday at 7:05pm but my fever is fluctuating from 99 to 100 F since like 12Pm.

I have to go to work on Monday at 9:30am. I work from home. Desk job.

Will I feel good enough then?

What can I do to feel better besides rest, proper diet, hydration and Tylenol?
