Recovery Time from Horrible Virus

It started with a sore throat on Monday night, by Wednesday I was feeling awful in bed with lots of temp variation. Going from really boiling hot to freezing cold. I woke up whimpering at one point due to pain in limbs. I started to feel a bit perkier yesterday and managed to eat a small dinner and not just soup. I have woken up feeling rotten but now appear to be snotty as anything, I'm just wondering if anyone has had this, I'm guessing I'm on last stage and it feels like there were definite stages to this illness.

Sore throat
Fever and awful pain in limbs, barely ate, dreadful headache
Coughing
Tons of snot

My husband has this. Been off work for 10 days. Bit better this weekend but I think needs another week off to fully recover. The cough has been persistent.

Hope he feels better soon, I'm cancelling stuff for next week. Had a feeling it was one that lingered.

My DH had something very like this about four weeks ago- the limb pain is exactly like it. He's not one to complain so I knew it was bad when he was in bed for two days!

He's really just started to perk up now. Weird weird thing.
