in the past few weeks ive started work in a new office and all my life ive been very fit and health ive never been admited to hospital in my life...but recently ive been soooooo ill its unreal..on my first week in work i caught the cold off of one of my co-workers and i thought nothing of it i was back at work the next week and i was fine
But the following monday i took the day off work because i had flu like symptoms and then monday night i got rushed into hospital with a severe viral infection.
The doctors told me that it was probably just a bug thats really knocked me off my feet but ive never ever been that sick in my life.
so a week later i was back at work and everything was fine.
But today i was sent home AGAIN...basically i went into work feeling fine...i hadnt eaten anything dodgy and i started to feel
reelie strange...like i was reelie lethargic but faint at the same time
the only way i can describe it as reelie Reelie drowzy and then
I was sick in the toilets

You should have a full physical, you have been ill more than normal. It could be that there are bugs going around...travelling and working close together sapreads germs quickly. Or it could be whats known as "Sick Office Syndrome". It really exisits. Google it and see if that fits with your symptoms. I cant remember details but its something to do with air conditioning which is not as clean as it should be...;

It could be something in the building that's making you sick. I doubt if there's something wrong with you internally....either it's something you started eating since you changed jobs, or there's something like the paint on the walls that you can't tolerate. It could be any number of things. There could be drafts coming in through vents that haven't been cleaned in a while. Apparently you're catching something from somewhere. Do you have new equipment, or are you using someone elses that was there before you? You may need to clean the whole desk area with Lysol and keep a bottle of antibacterial hand soap and antisanitary stuff on your desk.

Ok well just because you always try to be healthy and never get sick doesn't mean you will not catch anything, just less likely too.
Its called the common cold happens alot to people but may be more serious virus... and might need blood work done if not gone for more than 2-3 weeks at the latest

You might want to Google "Sick Building Syndrome." Sounds goofy but a lot of people claim it's a valid condition.
I had my first sinus infection (for a month!) after starting work in one particular building. I left there after a couple months and I don't think I've had one since. That was about 10 years ago.

obviously, your work office is not very clean, you may also be allergic to some of the things around you. Be sure to wash your hands after touching things, such as telophones, and other people's computer keyboards, chnces are there is a virus going around the office. always wash your hands after going to the rest room. and be very, very careful what you eat. the food may look normal, but it may have some bactaria. make sure to wash your veggies and fruits before you eat them.
here, try this site, www.bluestuff.com they have some ideas on there that will make you feel better.
Get well soon

it's definately something at work... what floor level are you on?
i'd start looking around that place to see what is what there.. something may be open in the sewers under that building.. gas lines may be leaking...
ventilation isn't clean....
carpet may be contaminated and not been cleaned properly....
who knows... if you're sick.. something's wrong.
if it doesn't help.. time to work elsewhere.. i'm serious. i've known perfectly healthy people suddenly get sick so bad they've got cancer or something that is really malignant... or they've died... and they found out it was at work and to sue the company.. yeh sure.. great... many said that they should have dropped the job and gone elsewhere.
it can be that bad.. do remember your rights.. do check around.

It sounds to me that you have what they call "panic disorder"....I had the same symptoms when I started working at this new job. I felt like I was dying....I was going back and forth to the hospital...I though i had a heart condition..I couldn't sleep...couldn't eat. Go to the doctor explain your symptoms again...and I'm sure you will be diagnosed with panic disorder.
Good luck and take it easy.

why don't you try and see if you can get an appointment with you Dr. maybe there some underlying sickness that is attacking you. I've seen these things before and it was always something Else. if you do go to see your doc and he gives you something to get rid of it and you still aren't feeling like your old self then there is something Else that is causing all of these things.

could it be something at work... maybe some sort of airborne virus or something. Perhaps everyone else there has built up immunity to it.
Is there lots of others off sick?
What kind of work is it?
