I've had that before. For me it was gone in a few days. I felt perfectly fine when doing nothing (no moving) but whenever I moved it hurt like hell.

EXACTLY how mine is, as long as I stay layin down im fine.  But if I bend my legs, or move at all it hurts.

we actually have a mosquito borne virus here called Ross River Virus that has the sort of symptoms you are talking about. Are you really tired all the time and could just sleep for a few days?

The kind of muscle aches (myalgias) can be the starting symptom of  a lot of illnesses. It CAN be the first sign of the plain old flu, but depending on what part of the country you're in it's probably a little early in the season for traditional influenza. Last year the Swine Flu started in November, but generally peak season for influenza is February or March.

And influenza can come on slowly. What is commonly called a "flu bug" is actually often another virus, which is why we're used to 2 -4 day illnesses. Many don't realize that true blue "brand name" influenza is a 10-14 day illness. The average healthy adult who gets the flu feels bad enough that even the tough will miss 2-3 days of work.

True influenza may develop symptoms over the first several days of illness. Importantly, TREATMENT CAN SHORTEN THE ILLNESS - BUT ONLY IF YOU START THE RIGHT MEDICINE WITHIN 48 HOURS of symptom onset.

If you have any rashes, or if you've done any travel, less common things may be going on.

No travel or anything, just pain.

Kinda sounds like run-o-the-mill exaustion.  Either that, or brain herpes.

All joking aside, take it easy and see that doc.

Sometimes I'll start running a high fever and I don't feel that bad, but other times I feel like crap and I'm not running a fever or anything.

Probably just a virus

Im not saying this to worry you, but have you ever been tested for Lymes disease? What you are explaining are classic symtoms of it, and no you dont need to have that "Red Bullseye" from the tick bite.

Id get checked out sir

Sarcasm on:

Enemy tactical nuke inbound, it's over!

Sarcasm off:

 

Yes, do get checked for Lyme disease- it'll kill you if you don't.

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.
