Yea..... I think I do. Came home 6 days ago and have felt PERFECT til about 3 hours ago. Started feeling achey all over, every bone and muscle in my body hurts. I came home and fell asleep on the couch which I NEVER DO. Now I am getting a headache and my eyes hurt. Damn...... Hopefully this goes away

I'm so sorry. I think the only way to diagnose it is through a blood test and there is no cure except enduring it.

There's a generic flu going around the DC/Baltimore area. One of my clients has been out for a week.
Good luck.
Cheers, RickG

There is a fierce bug going around northern Va & as far south as Richmond. Hitting adults and kids alike. My little boy has been down for the count. He was having all kinds of issues Wednesday night - about Sunday. Its miserable and looks to take 5-7 days to totally clear. He's only 4 months old so I couldn't ask him if he's achy, but he seemed pretty miserable!

As FF knows I was out of work and in bed for 5 days with a fierce stomach virus that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Low grade fever, chills and no control over any bodily functions. I was down for the count for 5 days no food or liquids for a week and a visit to the ER to get 2 litres of fluids and anti nausea meds (which by the way is the greatest invention since sliced bread).
Apparently it was either norovirus or rotovirus. Like FF said it's hitting NoVA pretty bad and it's a miserable experience.
Best advice, get to a Doctor and get yourself checked out!
