Horrible virus-anyone else suffering too?

[BrownFlower2]

Caught a virus and goodness me, the fatigue is off the scale. Muscle aches, headaches, joint pain but no coughing or snot. I feel dreadful. I have auto-immune issues so may be feeling it more but have largely been bed bound most of this week and I'm pretty miserable.

There's a lot of it about atm I know, anyone else suffering right now?

In the absence of any congestion, cough, sore throat or upset stomach, I would be thinking there’s something else going on, especially as you already have an autoimmune illness.

Maybe time to make a GP appointment?

Sympathy, it sounds very nasty. Is your temperature raised?

I had something very similar a few weeks ago. Compared notes with a few friends that also caught it, all said the same thing, muscle aches, temperature and as you say fatigue off the scale, but no sore throat, cough or snot. Oddly I have developed a cough a couple of weeks later - no idea if it’s the same thing hanging around or a separate bug! But the symptoms you describe are definitely doing the rounds. Tuck up and take it easy, hopefully you’ll feel better soon.

A virus went round our office, headaches, fevers, awful tiredness - but no cold symptoms as such. I was off for 3 days, then working but going home and doing nothing except go to bed early, and now, a month later, am only just starting to feel I've got any energy back.

My whole family had the same, the kids have been knocked out too. it's been 10 days and they are still exhausted.

I thought it was the flu. I know the flu jab hasn't been so effective this year. I've had mine and still managed to catch it.

Nope no raised temperature, just a horrible feeling of malaise, a slight sore throat. Have been off work all week with it, no energy to do anything that needs doing. I hope it lifts soon.

I’ve got some weird thing at the minute - nausea every evening, funny taste in my mouth, bit of a runny nose and can’t stop sleeping

4 out of the 6 people in our house have exactly that at the moment, I’m praying I don’t get it as I e only recently got over shingles and really don’t want to be ill again! Hope you’re feeling better soon

It's the fatigue that is just so gruelling. I keep thinking I'm back to myself and then it hits me. Is it another COVID strain as I felt so fatigued with that and I have had my flu jab -/

It's got me now. Nuisance. I have a cough too. Slept nearly 12 hours and still woke up feeling grooo.

oh well.
