Shamelessly using AIBU as I need speedy responses as due on holiday next Saturday.

I don't have - headaches, cough, sore throat, chesty issues, sinus issues.

I have (and have had for about 2 weeks)

  • Terrible neck ache, mainly right side and across the middle of the top of my back
  • a weird woozy feeling generally all day long where I feel not in my own body
  • literally like my blood / bones have something inside them that is making me feel unwell
  • ice cold a lot of the time, hot face
  • shattered. Sleeping longer, bed earlier, taking longer to feel awake etc
  • general creakiness tied into the weird feeling inside my body so getting up and walking is hurting a bit

I'm well enough to work, can do the odd chore, spend time with the kids etc. But my motivation to do anything extra is gone, I'm struggling to even consolidate thoughts (eg packing for trip etc).

The other day I just felt this immense pressure across my body like everything was going to just "pop". That's subsided.

I genuinely (and probably very dramatically) feel that I'll never feel the same again Grin

A non-specific virus complicated by internet-induced neurosis?

Possibly Grin

I do tale VitD but probably 5x a week rather than 7x as I sometimes forget it.

Low vitamin d, ferritin and perimenopause

This is exactly how I started with mine. I felt like I was getting flu or coming down with something all the time

Hmm, slapped cheek symptoms list runny nose and headaches too which I don't have - but the burning face and chilly body would fit.

It could just be a virus. For several years now, most viruses I've had I haven't had any sinus issues or cough - I just feel generally unwell. It makes it very difficult to know whether I have a virus or whether it's something else. Do take Vitamin D though...most people are deficient I think.

Get a blood test. Sounds like anaemia to me.

Low Blood Pressure, are you checking it, lots of those symptoms can be LBP
