It all started last week on sunday. I started to come out with a rash on my tummy. By Monday this had spread up my neck, across my chest and down the top of my legs. I went to the doctors and he said it was the end of a virus and to take anti-histimines. So that's what I did.
Fast forward to this saturday night. The rash has gone by this point. My throat was starting to hurt a tiny bit on one side. By Sunday morning my throat was really hurting on one side and my ear on that side too. By Sunday afternoon I had to go back to bed because my whole throat and ears are sore, my neck is aching, my muscles are aching, it hurts to walk. Then by Sunday night my head is killing too and I get a slight rash. The rash didn't last long and since dissapeared.
On Monday morning I felt a tiny bit better...well I could get out of bed and walk. I had a long journey to make as had been staying with family and managed to make journey home. I spent the afternoon/evening on the sofa before crashing in bed. I haven't slept for longer than half an hour at one time the whole night and have finally given up. It hurts too much too swallow, my neck is still sore and now my stomach muscles are hurting too. Oh and I am quite wheezy and gasping for breath a bit.
Anyway, I am panicking a bit now as I am supposed to be back at work after the bank holiday in 3 hours and I feel like crap. Has anyone had anything like this recently? I truley have never felt so rubbish in my whole life and I am worried it is something quite serious. I was thinking maybe glandular fever or am I just being silly and if I go to the doctor they will say its a virus? If they say its a virus I think I will ring said doctors neck as I need something to help with the pain. Yesterday I was taking Ibuprofen, Benylin, gargling salt water, drinking hot drinks, drinking cold drinks and nothing at all is helping.
