Could The Pain In My Joints, Red Eyes And Cold Indicate Flu Symptoms?
Good morning
I started a sudden cold on Christmas Day in the afternoon, sudden bunged up nose and sneezing. Yesterday I thought I just had a very thick cold, I went to bed around 9pm then my joints began to ache and I felt very cold and shivery. When my husband came to bed he felt my body and said I was very hot, I had a temperature of 41* I slept fitfully but awoke this morning feeling less full of cold! no fever! mild aches only in my joints but the whites of my eyes are very red - is this flu? If so will I just get better? I feel a bit wiped out?
