[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My JMU kid who lives off-campus got sick on this week after he and his housemates tried their best to avoid it. DS is the sickest of the 3, exhaustion, body aches, chills and night sweats, and now he's sounding congested. I told him to get tested but the waits are hours long and he wasn't feeling up to that. He says everyone they know off campus either has gotten sick or lives with someone who's sick so they assume they have it.[/quote]

This sounds like my son’s roommate!  Four of them share a house and one got really sick last week - same exact symptoms.  He was the only sick one, but they all went to get tests and ALL were negative - even the boy who had been so sick (he’s fine now).  We thought for sure they would all be positive, but nope.  So now we’re wondering what he had!  Strange.[/quote]

So I'm the PP and our kid just got his test back and it's positive. He went to Med Express where they do the test for you. He said at CVS the test is self-administered and a lot of people who are sure they have it get a negative result. Just FYI. He's been sick for a week now and still feels exhausted although he has no fever. He says he's keeping up with his classes but every time I call he's sleeping. [/quote]

PP here - aww, I’m so sorry about your son!  I’ll have to ask my son where he went for testing - I believe it was Med Express but I could be wrong.  I hope your son’s roommates are keeping him fed and hydrated.  I guess that’s really all that can be done.  Hope he’s feels 100% soon.[/quote]
