Our twins (3) bring every bloody bug known to man home from nursery. They started in January and between January and June it was just a constant merry go round of illness, culminating in hideous chicken pox.
This last week they’ve been off their food, distressed and random high temps but no other obvious symptoms. They generally seem better but they can’t talk so don’t know if they’re in pain anywhere.
Two days ago I woke up with a sore throat which has gradually gotten worse. Today my glands are up, I’ve had high temps, fatigue, nausea and pain all over my body - back pain, stomach pain, hip pain, headache tooth pain, like my whole body is broken. I have no cough or cold.
Never experienced anything like this - what have we got now?! So fed up. I feel ridiculous because surely a sore throat and pain everywhere can’t be the same thing but if not then what is it all about?
I had flu once as a student and it felt different but I guess each strain is different so could be that?
When does the constant illness end, or doesn’t it? Annoyingly I have flu vaccinations scheduled for them in two weeks, which we’ll still get.
