Suggest Treatment For Severe Muscle Aches And Tiredness

default
Posted on Thu, 4 May 2017
Question: My 27 year old son is suffering from muscle aches, he is tired, he sleeps 10-12 hours and still wakes
up tired, going upstairs is painful for him. His Kaiser doctor said he may have some sort of virus.
It has been going on for about 6-7 weeks now. His labs were normal except Eosinphils, his number was 7,
normal range is 0-6%.
His works as a security guard at a hospital ER for children. He could have picked up something there?

He had cyst or infection on his butt cheek just before this current episode started and went to Kaiser, took an antibiotic for 10 days and was told it went away. Any ideas?

his liver, blood sugar, and kidney functions are all normal according to Kaiser on a follow up visit last Thursday.

My son now mentions extreme skin sensitivity, like something is cutting his skin.
He still suffers form muscle pain, and feeling very tired all the time.

Hi then a good multivitamin preparation, and a preparation with Co enzyme Q-10 is the answer.
He can also try L creatinine. It will also help. All these should be available OTC.
