Just a virus or should I go to the doctor?

[Iamboudicca]

Been feeling grim for 3 days now. Muscle weakness seems to be the main thing, but also raised neck glands, joint pain, nausea on and off and quite thirsty/ mild sore throat. I’ve been a bit hot and cold but think thats just me (I’m mid 40s...) I don’t have a temperature, cough or general cold symptoms.

It’s not so bad that I’m bed ridden - I have been able to drag myself out to do school drop off etc. But legs so wobbily I didn’t think I’d make it back to the car. Any thoughts.

Personally I'd ride it out. 7-10 days is normal for a virus.

It’s only been 3 days, give it a few more days before seeking medical advice unless you get significantly worse.

OP Ive felt a bit grim for a week now with similar symptons (im mid 40s) but hadn't thought about GP tbh.

I know there is a virus going round that a lot of people both on here and in my hometown have had/got, so it's very widespread. Feel better soon
