In reply to the discussion: I think this virus was around in December. [View all]Progressive Jones
(6,011 posts)38. I had a strange "bug" in mid-January.
I had the normal aches and pains I get with the flu. These haven't varied my entire life. I had no sore throat.
I had no fever, but I had chills, which I normally get with a fever. I had a headache with this. I never get headaches.
It lasted 2 days, and the 3rd day I was able to work, but I was still a little under.
I never had any difficulty breathing, but I was coughing stuff up.
