Headcold and aches and pains all over. Flu?

[suiledonne]

I've been tired and feeling run down lately and last week started getting aches and pains all over particularly bad in my legs, knees and ankles.

Went to the doctor as I suspected anaemia and he agreed. Took blood tests.

Iron and thyroid function fine.

Now I have a bad headcold, feel awful and the aches and pains are a lot worse.

Now thinking I might just have the flu or a virus.

Would it take a while to develop? Maybe thats why I had the pains before the cold symptoms.

Any ideas?

Hi
Sounds like you are suffering from whatever it is I have plus several of my relatives. Sever head cold, really bad sinuses? and aches and pains all over? I've been feeling bad for a few days now but my mum and sister have had it for nearly two weeks now! Im only 7 weeks pregnant at mo too so combined with sickness Im not feeling too great. Haven't been able to take anything for the sinus pain which is terrible. If I were you I would go back to the docs Mon morn.

Thanks sassie. Sounds like it is something thats going around so.

I was starting to worry a bit - haven't been ill for so long. I think breastfeeding keeps me healthy

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Is it your first?

It is horrible been ill while pregnant.

Hope you feel better soon.
