What is this weird bug that I have?

[NewYearNewStart]

I feel horrid.

It came on suddenly Saturday evening when i started feeling faint and shivering uncontrolably. I went to bed thinking maybe I was just cold and tired but I couldn't settle. My muscles started aching so much (all over) and felt I needed to constantly stretch them. I still wasn't asleep by 4am and by then I had a temperature and felt very sick (although wasn't).

I must have dropped off about 6ish so got a bit of sleep but I feel just as bad now. I haven't even a hint of a sore throat so I don't think it's a cold. I have no energy, I still ache so much, can't eat and my temp's still at 38.5.

Any ideas? I've taken some nurofen and paraceptemol already btw, not that I think it's helped!

Thank you!

I felt similar with a uti, compounded by a lingering cold/cough. Got ab's and most of aches gone but still not 100%.

Wouldn't it hurt to pee if I had a uti though? I must admit the symptoms do fit other than that, i've not had one for a long time but do remember feeling bad with it.

I have had exactly the same thing all week, except with a sore tum and sick headache, its awful feeling slightly better now but definitely not 100%

I didn't , yet when they tested my wee it had traces of blood which tends to indicate an infection further up the tract apparently. Need to ring for further results tomorrow.
