Have had a mostly poorly week - which has been pretty rubbish. Have missed out on the glorious weather as have not been well enough to do anything. Started on Tuesday night with really aching legs, awoke in the night with a quite high temperature and increasingly aching muscles and joints. This continued until Friday. I then felt much better except that all the aching and hotness gave way to a dry/sore throat. Then yesterday - thinking I was better - I went to do food shopping and under the supermarket fluorescent lights realised that I was covered in a fine mottledy rash, and by bedtime my arms, back and chest felt hot to touch. DH humoured me and then said I'd probably just caught the sun, but I pointed out to him that I'd spent a total of about 20minutes outside yesterday, and that I had been wearing a long sleeved shirt for that period of time...! I have slept badly and felt all night like I have truly awful sunburn - almost to that stage where you feel unwell with it (have had borderline sunstroke a couple of time, in my time). Has anyone else had this? What was it? How did you treat it? How long did it last? Is assuming its just viral the best position? Or should I see someone about it?! TIA MPD
