Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I just joined this web-site due to illness that may be SBS. I started working in a large call center in Tucson 18 mo ago. Since then I have had 6 upper respiratory infections. I had never had anything like this prior to working there. I left work Monday 1 hr after starting (I work Sunday also) along with 6 others - as we were asked to leave since we had flu-like symptoms of headaches,nausia,cough, etc. I never developed much of a fever which would go along with the flu - my temp was about 99.5 & I usually run around 97.2. I called my doc. & he said I probably had the flu & there's nothing they could do. The headaches have subsided as of today and the nausia is almost gone but now I have terrible pains in my joints & seems my lymph nodes on the right side may be swollen. I just want to sleep all the time. Do these sound like symptoms associated with SBS. As additional history, I found out that when this building was occupied by the prior tenant they had lots of sickness and installed UV lights on the HVAC system to reduce the circulating virus'. I found out from the co. that does the property management that the UVs are supposed to be replaced every 9-12 mo. but they haven't been replaced for over 2.5 yrs. Any thoughts?
