Q: Very Sick

I have Hep C and just had my second vaccination for Hep B and A thursday. I have been sick ever since with throwing up, severe fatigue, pain all over, just can't get up out of the bed. Can be sitting and talking to someone and fall asleep. Someone said it could be Spinal (Menajidace)? Does anybody no the symptoms?

Hello, kathie.

 

I'm sorry you are feeling so poorly.

 

You don't mention mention having Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, but, you have reached a forum dedicated to issues and information related to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which primarily involves those two bowel diseases.

 

In any case, while your current problems don't seem to be related to IBD, or even spinal meningitis (the hallmark symptoms of spinal meningitis are severe headache, stiff neck, high fever, sensitivity to light, and, in some forms of meningitis, a distinctive rash), I strongly advise you to let your doctor know that you are sick, or promptly get yourself checked out at a local urgent care center.

 

It's pretty likely that you have the flu, but if you are feeling as awful as you say you are, with your Hep C history, it's best to play it safe.

 

Take care!

 

Hope
