I've been having flu-like symptoms for the last several weeks, too. For at least the last 3 years, I've had a lot of problems during the summer. I think that mine is affected by the humidity. I live in Alabama, and the humidity is extremely high now and for the next 3 months. I take Percocet, but doesn't always help a lot with the flu-like symptoms. Ibuprofen helps me some, but I can't take it too often because of stomach problems. I've found that sometimes pain creams help for a while. One that makes the pain feel better right away is NutraCool. One drawback with this one is the strong odor - feels good, though. I also use other creams that contain aspirin and/or Ibuprofen. There is a RX Voltaren Gel that contains pain meds (can't remember right now if it is aspirin or Ibuprofen) that I have found to be useful. Sometimes these creams help, but sometimes nothing seems to help. I'm looking forward to hearing what suggestions other people have. Gentle Hugs, Carla  "Don't be discouraged.
