    Yes, your doctor can.

    Sorry, but we can't give you a diagnosis over the internet. We can't do any tests, take a look at you, none of the things we would need in order to tell you what's going on.

    We could guess, but if we guess wrong it will only hurt you.

    Make an appointment with your doctor, that's the only sure bet.

    Good luck.

    I agree that you need to see a health care provider. They can run some blood tests, including a physical examination. One of the things that can cause tiredness and feeling "cold" may be a sign of the low thyroid function, but there are other entities that can cause it. Recommend that you get an evaluation by your doctor.

    I also agree with everything that has been said, and I will add that low iron can cause these issues.

    If you could describe the pain this might help out a lot.

    I too am feeling these symptons and that is why I'm looking for answers as well. I'm not one to complain and try to keep the upper back pains and stomach pains to myself. I am so lethargic as well. Plus, I don't feel sick, just cold all the time - and a bad cough trying to control with medicines. I do have an appetite and diarreha I thought due to drinking a lot of liquids? Guess I'll have to seek professional advice tomorrow?

    No loss of appetite, definitely no std, no nasal muscus and no headache. Still feel chills and some pain, but definitely fatigue. Thanks for the extra site to search. Doctor trying to fit me in but might have to go to immediate care.

    Sounds like the flu to me.

    Just how long did you have these symptoms and how old are you? I gather you have a dry cough, lethargy, bouts of diarrhea, upper back and stomach pains. Certainly without having you examined by a health professional, it does should like a "viral illness". The flu (Influenza) just happens to only be one of the viruses common during winter time. My recommendation is be seen and evaluated. Blood tests may be necessary and other studies to insure that you are not dealing with other illnesses. Treatment usually for viral illness is mainly supportive. Antibiotics are only indicated if there is a bacterial infection, not viruses. Hope by the time you see this post, you would have seen your doctor.
