Has anyone had this virus and its aftermath?

Three weeks ago I suddenly felt like a bus had hit me, was in bed for three days with horrendous aches, especially my back and legs, headache, nausea, sweats, chills, etc. I slowly recovered but I have since been getting one-day symptoms than then go away, not as bad, just tired and uncomfortable. Today I feel exhausted, with a headache, slight cough if I breath deeply... I'm thinking this horrible virus must be still in my system and pops up when I'm tired... Anyone else??

Sounds just like what I had about 5 weeks ago and still don't feel 100%!!

It sucks!

Yep, this sounds like what I had last week. I've never felt so ill in my life. Fever reached 106F and I felt like my brain was boiling.

Has anyone had just the temperature and aches minus the sore throat/cold/ cough. I've had a fever for most of the week but not the other typical flu like symptoms. Not sure if this is virus related or something else is going on - I'll give it a few more days before I trot off to the doctors..

Hi Idotry, I had no sore throat/cold, "only" horrible aches, especially back and legs, headache, chills, sweating, and nausea on/off...
