No energy, everything hurts

For the last 10 days I have no energy (at all) and want to sleep a lot. My diary was full of lovely Christmas things I tried to go to one but i was completely miserable due to feeling so rough. I have cancelled everything else. Also not hungry.
Fortunately I am not currently working so am able to rest but if I were working I don’t think I would be able to go in or even do wfh.
However I don’t have a cough or cold so it doesn’t seem to be the flu that’s going round. Anyone else suffering? Any advice. It doesn’t seem to be getting any better
thank you

Over the past couple of months I've twice been in a lot of pain and felt exhausted but no other symptoms, just as you describe. First time lasted 3 days, second time 5 days. Generally I'm not an ill person. So I think there is something like that going about.

Second time I managed to get some decent pain killers from the GP as the over the counter stuff wasn't touching it. Might be worth trying that.

Have you recently or a few months back had a viral infection like COVID or flu? Get your vitamins checked, b12, D and iron especially.

Thanks for the responses. Will look into supplements
