Suddenly Ill

[IhateChristmas]

Tuesday night I suddenly got the chills yet would feel very hot then shivering with headache. Been fine all day.

Bad nights sleep with feverish dreams and constantly waking up. Felt ste yesterday and went to bed early feeling really cold but then finally getting warm. Another ste night and woke up several times soaked in sweat but freezing. Had to wrap myself in towels in the end.

At home today and feel knackered with aching joints and headache and a bit of a cough.

Bit flummoxed as to what it can be and dreading tonight especially if those sweats return again.

I had a flu and pneumococcal jab a week a go. Could this be connected?

Cheers.

Unconnected to the Flu jab as it is a "dead vaccine"

More likely you have The Flu, the jab will not protect you against *all* strains of it.

bad luck.

Fill up on paracetamol, ibuprofen, good food, fluid and don't take it out on your other-half too much

Can't take it out on other half as we are split although she did come round to look after kids last night thus allowing me to crash out.
