What Causes Joint Ache Along With Chills And Breathing Difficulty?

5 hrs intense joint aches, uncontrollable chills shaking, respiratory a mess. After 5 hr, for next 5 hrs the joint aches and chills stop then heavy breathing and headache. Took over the counter stuff. My concern is that these exact symptoms have occurred at least 4 times in the last 2 years. At about the 12 to 13 hr mark I actually feel pretty good. I find it odd that I have these same repeating symptoms. Yes every year I have flu shot

If you are inhabiting close to cattle or sheep or if you are drinking raw milk-unboiled and unpasteurized, then please try to do a blood test for Brucella -the agent for undulant fever. It is also called Malta fever. It is a chronic infection as the organism stays dormant in Liver or spleen even years after the original infection has resolved and is reactivated when immunity becomes low because of any reason. It causes a multisystem disease as you have described.
Godspeed.
