Hi hun, :D:hugs:

YES, hun, I have had this. I do know, that YOU can have a virus which will cause these symptoms, but, anxiety can cause it too.

Influenza causes the body to release anti-bodies into the blood stream to attack the virus. This combination of anti-bodies and infection makes the body feel weak, sweaty and painful. Anxiety can have a similar effect, weakening the muscles, making you clammy and achy. Believe it or not the more you do physically the better this will become.

There may be other threads about this, in the symptoms pages

It does pass hun, with time.

YOU TAKE CARE

Hi Candi

I had that for a very very long time before I went on citalopram.

I just thought it was due to being a busy working mum along with all the stresses and strains of the day.

I havent had that now for a whole year, whoooopeee..

I was lucky if I felt half decent every other week, which is very tiring.

Hope you feel more lively soon.

Take care

J
