On Friday I started with what I think was the flu.
I spent the next 4 days in bed unable to do much at all.
Yesterday I went back to work but feel I wasn’t ready.
The thing is I don’t actually know if I have the flu or something else? Or how to help myself?
I hurt all over. My head and face feels swollen. My throat is painful. I have a chesty cough and my chest feels.. well.. chesty?
My teeth and neck hurt and I’m either too hot or too cold.
Whenever I move I feel sick. Now and again my limbs feel weak and hard to move. Mainly my hands / fingers. I also now have lovely mouth ulcers.
Have tried regular painkillers, cough meds, lozengers, flu meds etc.
I just want to feel better now. But how do you treat it when you are not even sure what it is? I’ve been in bed since 9 trying to sleep but my body just won’t let me. My muscles all feel like restless leg would but not just in my legs.
I’ve been avoiding the doctors hoping it will soon pass.
No idea what I hope to achieve by posting this.
