Unusual virus at Christmas.

[Milzy]

For the last 2 days I’ve been exuasted, head aches and my skin feels really tender all over from my head to my stomach area. I remember been unwell many years ago and I had the same weird feeling all over my skin.
Has anybody else had this? It must be some lame virus. Just interested to find out how the skin feels so sensitive if there’s any medical people amongst c.c.
Everyone is smashing out 100 rides and I’m left laying down helpless.

My skin always gets very sensitive if I have a fever. How's your temperature? Does paracetamol help?
It's probably a virus as you say, thus there's nothing much you can do except wait it out

My t shirt rubs my belly and it feels awful. I’m a tiny bit warmer than normal. Popping to the paracetamol now.

Do you have any sort of rash or burning feeling? Could be shingles if so and not a lame virus. See Dr tomorrow to get checked. What is your temperature?

I would suggest seeing a doctor if it's an unusual illnesss

Or a child (with chicken pox)...which frankly is far worse

Seconded.
Yup, shingles is a real nasty one, I've had it twice and seriously sensitive skin is a good Indicator. It's like even a breath of air on your skin is painful...and of couse a general feeling of unwellness.

I googled shingles. My temp is 38.5 so not that bad. No rash. No motivation. Might be better in time for work

Don't rush back to work. It could well be flu. Did you get jabbed?

I don't recall having a temp with shingles, did feel rotten though for a few weeks. I had the burning and a fairly limited rash but I was only in my mid 20s and saw the Dr quickly and for a course of anti viral meds which limited the disease and the post herpetic neuralgia thankfully

Shingles rash does not always so at the start by Bil had symptoms for 2 weeks before any rash

I refuse to have flu jabs. They can make you ill.

Seriously you believe that

Hope you GWS and even more so don't pass whatever you have to anyone else

I’m in quarintine.

I’m in quarintine.

At the South Pole? Or a hospital? Otherwise anything else is likely insufficient if it's flu or similar
