So at the start of the week my son came down with a heavy cold, was quite tearful, running a temperature etc. He got over it in a few days, still has a cough etc but otherwise ok.
The day after I went to the gym and noticed I was sweating a lot more than normal. Didn't think too much of it but the next day I woke up feeling awful. My head was killing me that kind of inflamed sinus pain and I ached from head to toe, I was also shivery and really thought I was coming down with the flu.
That night I woke up sweating but yesterday I didn't feel too bad apart from the severe sinus pain and still felt a bit lethargic. I've now got up today and tried to go to the gym and I can't do it, I feel so weak and I just started sweating buckets again.
I've again got sinus pain and I'm a bit sneezy, hubby is also laid up in bed with what he said feels like flu (completely unlike him, in 15 years together he's only taken to his bed once!). So the rational side of my brain says it's a flu virus that's hit the house but the HA side is saying why don't I have the cold/sore throat symptoms that hubby and son had and what if it's something else.
So is it possible to have a flu virus without a cold/cough etc?
I keep reasoning with the fact my sinuses are incredibly sore and putting my head forward, standing up too quick etc sets them off. I'm also thinking I use saline washes quite a lot so maybe that's helped prevent a full blown cold etc.
Someone slap me please!
