Hello! Is this the summer flu ?
Couldn't get out of bed on Saturday so tired but otherwise felt ok. OK on Sundau. Yesterday I had 5 trips to open bowels but not diarrhoea. Today my body aches and my eyes hurt. Will I live ?

Could it be measles? Or chickenpox?

This is me, OP. Along with the spots- five, giant, blind buggers that nothing is bringing to a head.

Face chin spots

That’s OK then. I was imagine you had monkey pox or were patient zero for the next pandemic.

I know loads of people eho have or have had similar symptoms recently. When I had it I would be fine and then 10 minutes later unable
to keep my eye open tired. It was having a new born (mine didn’t sleep and I was unwell after both) level of tiredness. It was really strange.

I hope you’re feeling better soon.

When I get Covid it’s like this. Hurt all over, go to the loo a lot. Then profound exhaustion for 2 weeks. I’ve had Covid five times, each time has been slightly different as different strains.

I second the Covid theory. Shattered here, and aching like an acutely achey thing. Bowel stuff also, check ✅ Bit tearful at times too. Like the previous poster, been here often enough that I should know immediately, but I always second guess everything because of chronic conditions. Had dinner last weekend with a couple who'd actually been diagnosed by their GP a fortnight before. We're told they shouldn't be contagious after two weeks, but we've been told a lot about Covid that amounts to gaslighting BS 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just to add: OP, you haven't been back to the thread for 10 days, so hopefully that means you're over whatever you had! ☺️
