Question 1

what can i take for body aches during alcohol withdrawl?

Withdrawal?: Are you truly talking about withdrawal or are you talking about a hangover?    If it is simply a hangover, ibuprofen would probably be a good choice.   Alcohol withdrawal needs to be managed by a physician.

Question 2

i always get horrible nasal congestion and depending on the amount and on the alcohol, my neck and shoulder blades get extreme body aches... why?

Sensitivity: Alcohol is a typical cause for non-allergic symptoms, and that could explain the nasal congestion you're experiencing. The other symptoms are troubling as well, especially considering the medications you're using. Alcohol can influence the effect of those medications and can cause muscle pain.

Question 6

what are the causes of sleep problems and body aches?

Accepted Answer

Many factors: Body aches, by themselves, can cause sleep problems. Poor sleep is usually due to being aroused from sleep and this is often due to pain from some area of the body.
An over the counter pain medication such as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) taken one hour before retiring can help alleviate aches while sleeping.
A 'sleep study' can provide more data-see your doctor for more info.

Question 7

what causes body aches but no fever?

Accepted Answer

Arthritis...: Body aches can be do to inflammation, degeneration, over activity, fibromyalgia, and many other causes.  Without signs of flu, including fever, it is unlikely to be viral myalgia.  I would see if symptoms improve with aleve, (naproxen) and if it continues, i advise seeing your doctor!

Body aches: Need far more info to know what is going on. The discomfort can be muscular, neurological, due to a primary process affecting muscles, bones or joints, and may be overtly inflammatory or not. You need to make a list of all your symptoms, the time of onset and the history and relationships to other factors and see your family doctor for full evaluation. Good luck and hope you are better soon.
