Anybody else got this crappy virus

[FannyBawz]

I’m so bloody miserable. Three weeks ago my kids had the flu confirmed by GP. I looked after them and they recovered well. I didn’t catch it but ever since have had

intense fatigue
can’t get warm - reduced to sleeping in heavy jeans
painful joints
sore skin
dry eyes
and now I feel like I’m getting thrush.

does this sound familiar to anybody? Because I almost feel like it’s all in my head. Im
kind of gas lighting myself and we all know that’s not cool

I've had something that sounds quite similar, minus the thrush and dry eyes (maybe because I routinely drink about 2.5 litres of no caffeine fluid a day). I think it's flu. It felt like flu.

If it's any consolation I turned a corner after 1 week of terrible aching joint, 38 degree temp and very sore throat and now feel like I'm on the mend. I still feel very, very tired though and I'm going to bed at 8.30 each night.

I hope you feel better soon and I know it's easier said than done, but rest, try and get as much sleep as possible and have lots on non caffeinated warm drinks.

On week 4 now. Coughing, sniffing, congestion, dry eyes , headache and very fatigued. Evil bug.

Similar - headache and throat for about ten days, developed into the most agonising sore throat ever a few days ago, and now I feel so unwell I can't get out of bed.

It's very unpleasant. Wishing all of us to feel better soon!

Feels like I'm coming down with something very similar. Dry eyes, itchy skin, tired but not sleeping properly, achey joints plus a bit achey down there, a bit sneezy, sore throat threatening, and tonight the most vicious migraine-like headache/facial pain that took 2 x 30/500mg cocodamol just to make a dent.

I'll be well cheesed off if this turns into more than a 48 hour thing, my left lung is still recovering from 3 back to back viruses in the last 4 months 😩

How have you been feeling today OP?
