Shamelessly using AIBU as I need speedy responses as due on holiday next Saturday.

I don't have - headaches, cough, sore throat, chesty issues, sinus issues.

I have (and have had for about 2 weeks)

  • Terrible neck ache, mainly right side and across the middle of the top of my back
  • a weird woozy feeling generally all day long where I feel not in my own body
  • literally like my blood / bones have something inside them that is making me feel unwell
  • ice cold a lot of the time, hot face
  • shattered. Sleeping longer, bed earlier, taking longer to feel awake etc
  • general creakiness tied into the weird feeling inside my body so getting up and walking is hurting a bit

I'm well enough to work, can do the odd chore, spend time with the kids etc. But my motivation to do anything extra is gone, I'm struggling to even consolidate thoughts (eg packing for trip etc).

The other day I just felt this immense pressure across my body like everything was going to just "pop". That's subsided.

I genuinely (and probably very dramatically) feel that I'll never feel the same again Grin

The creaks and aches I would be happy to accept / medicate for / try and exercise out. But this feeling inside my whole system just feels hideous. It's odd as it isn't painful - I said to dh it feels like there is something running through my bloodstream that either shouldn't be there or is actively fighting something. It's so odd.
