Suggest Treatment For Influenza

A flu like 8 years ago that nailed me to a bed for 4 days....followed up by vomiting at any movements, follwoed up by tinnitus for ever. Then strong migraines tot he point of vomiting, elevated BP, wegener disease pseudo diagnosis, sinusitis 3 times a year, walking pneumonia without colored mucus, temporary joint stiffness, loss of short term memory, blurry vision at times, sounds like Darth Vador on asthma, crohn s disease like, etc.. but all that goes away with 7 days of flagil with tetracycline or doxycycline..............you tell me?!!

Hello
No doubt ,you developed influenza 8 years ago .
Now having so many complications and symptoms , may be due to the after effect of that disease ( 8 YEARS AGO ) .
At present you are having so many symptoms but by merely reading these symptoms , it is very difficult to establish any clear cut diagnosis .
In such cases I advise my patient to take montelukast+ bambuterole tablet , once or twice in day ( although most of patient respond to once a day and normal dose is also once in day ) .
Since this is a prescription drug ,so please consult your doctor and get his opinion.
Since breathlessness ( asthma type ) caused by bronchoconstriction ,so you will get complete relief.
But you are also having stiffness in joints , blurred vision, short term memory loss, so once again consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
As you mentioned that you took flagyl and tetra and got relief , so this shows that all these symptoms may be due to gram -ve bacterial infection.
Get in blood for culture and drug sensitivity test for proper antibiotics.
Good luck.
