Anyone had a "flu" like this before?

I'm actually wanting to become a M.D. somday and I'm very well versed in viruses. What it sounded like at first was Mononucleosis. It can be difficult to tell what a certian bug is by symptoms alone, as someone could be asymptomatic. Someone could have influenza, but have no fever. A person could have mono, and not have lymphatic swelling. If you give me all your symptoms I could give you a direct answer as to what it may be. It could be what Spikes had, or not. It all has to do with symptoms... and tests 

So P.M. me your symptoms and I'll see what I can do.

my same first thought, i just didnt wanna put a name on it. if you tell someone that it sounds like a specific thing then they get the thought in their head and actually will believe they are developing symptoms they dont really have. makes a doctors job even harder. thats why i just sugested for him to go see the doc.

Good point. The only reason i know about it is because my 10yrold son has it. Hes fine now, we caught it really early, no side effects, no symptoms thank go, but everytime he has a muscle ache, me and mom get a tad freeked out.

Regarding what you said about developing symptoms that you dont actually have...........I once asked my doc (we have been friends and fishing buds for years)  what he thinks of these websites (Web Md etc..)where you type in your symptoms and it gives you a diagnosis. I thought he was going to flip his lid, ive heard less 4 letter words on a construction site    He told me a story of a woman that plugged her symptoms into WebMD and came in on an emergency appointment, She was 100% convinenced that she had Cholera, and nothing he could do would assuage her anxiety. When the blood work came back, it was found that she had a combo of the common cold, and menapause

Well just curious if anyone has ever had a "flu" like I am having right now....basically no fever, no stomach ache, no nothing....EXCEPT my body feels like it got hit by a truck.....its almost like everything is sore, arms, legs, hands,chest,back, neck, so forth, EVERYTHING HURTS.  Whenever I try to get up, walk, pick something up, I am in pain.  Has anyone had an illness like this before?  Im crossing my fingers its a 24 hour flu...im supposed to go to the range tomorrow......and work sat night.... lol
