What Is The Treatment For Fatigue And Muscle Pain Due To Encephalitis Meningitis?
In October I had Encephalitis meningitis reaction to west Nile virus. I have been extremely fatigued ever since. I need a doctor that knows what I am going through. I lost 36 pounds in 6 weeks and it was all muscle. I now have muscle aches and weakness and pain, poor balance and coordination. My calves are halve the sizes they were. I have not been able to go back to work and am about to lose my job. I am on short term disability but the doctor I have now says he can t prove any thing is wrong with me so he can t keep me on disability for long. I live in Abilene Texas

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The muscle pain and fatigue after a viral illness is usually self limiting and gradually subsides after taking mild pain killers and a hot shower for 3-4 weeks.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
