I can't give you the technical answer - the gurus undoubtedly can. An analogy might be that your endogenous armies are split between battle fronts, so to speak. I get the same thing; some burning but more aches & pains, spasms, and just plain blech.

Vitamins supposedly don't do much once you're already sick. I would think D might be better, but extra B-12, C, D, B-5.... Probably any of the water solubles with no upper limits couldn't hurt. Some kind of potentiator (like an antihistamine) with your doctors approval may help.
