I have this too. I had to leave work at lunchtime as I just couldn’t function. It’s horrid, hope it doesn’t last long.

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 11/10/2019 19:44

This is my second day and I just don't know how to deal with it.
I'm.exhusted, but I can't sleep. Starving, but can't eat. Shivering but already warm. It sucks major donkey ass.

Jacksback · 11/10/2019 19:47

Me too
Had a day off and so much to do but slept the afternoon away 😐

LadyPenelope68 · 11/10/2019 19:48

Same here, I feel dreadful

TwattingDog · 11/10/2019 19:48

I had something similar Mon-Wed. Plus so sweaty that I had to shower and change multiple times a day.

Weirdly, it started with incredibly painful hips and knees.

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 11/10/2019 19:49

Well it's of some comfort it's not just me. Lol

I keep sipping water but it tastes like shite. 😂

Hmmm I think I have this. I feel like a rock is in my tummy?!

TwattingDog · 11/10/2019 19:51

Oh, I dealt with it by dosing up on paracetamol to deal with the shakes and fever, lots of liquids, and small meals / snacks.

Dee03 · 11/10/2019 19:54

Yep I've had this for past 3 days....feel much better day but still can't eat

Dee03 · 11/10/2019 19:55

*today

flamingnoravera · 11/10/2019 19:56

Me too, I thought it was flu. But it's not coming on like flu.

BeverlyGoldbergsHairAndJumpers · 11/10/2019 19:58

I don’t think I have ever not eaten for a day . . . three days would be so long.

I need to get rid of a few pounds so that could be the silver lining I guess Grin

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 11/10/2019 19:58

Does everyone else have bizarre dreams when poorly?
Last night I was dreaming about judge Judy.. thankfully not in a sexual manner.. just in bizarre and demented snippets.

Me too, feel terrible. My cheekbones hurt (sinus pain probably) sore throat, aches all over. Even my hair hurts.

StudentHelp · 11/10/2019 20:03

I’m 8 days in and still feeling shite, fainted when I tried to go to the shop last weekend which was great Sad

BooseysMom · 11/10/2019 20:10

Me and DS had exactly this. DS off school two days. DS kept wanting to sit on my lap and be cuddled so i knew something was wrong (he's 5).. i made the most of it!
It only lasts a day or two and i keep expecting it to turn into something else

bigdecsions · 11/10/2019 20:12

I think I'm getting this, my body is aching so bad especially my legs and back, I'm so tired I can fall asleep anywhere, just generally feel rubbish but so far I have managed to eat.

Sparrowlegs248 · 11/10/2019 20:14

@StudentHelp I'm similar, started before last weekend. No better at all, spent most of today in bed.

ScouseQueen · 11/10/2019 20:16

I've been feeling shattered and with mild flu like symptoms today. Had lots to do as well but couldn't keep awake. Going to have an early night.

TheITCloud · 11/10/2019 20:17

I think I have something like this. Am feeling dizzy a lot and the skin on my face feels very very sensitive.

Am supposed to be working a half day tomorrow afternoon. Will see how I feel in the morning.Flowers for us all.

formerbabe · 11/10/2019 20:18

I'm starting to recover from a horrible virus...sore throat, lethargic, headachey, hacking cough...it's been miserable

NoWordForFluffy · 11/10/2019 20:41

It's taken me two weeks to start to feel normal after this bloody thing started for me. Absolutely hideous.

Look after yourself. Flowers

whojamaflip · 11/10/2019 20:43

day 3 for me and I've lost the heavy stuffy feeling in my head and the joint pain but dear god the hacking cough started this morning and it won't let up! Currently having a hot whisky before I head for an early night - dh has been told he's either in the spare room or on the sofa, his choice, but if he comes anywhere near me he will get his answer Angry

Mummybares · 11/10/2019 20:52

I feel exhausted and run down
