I was sitting at my desk at "work" today (answering phone in hubby's office) and suddenly start feeling a bit nauseous.  Ate a few crackers and nuts, hoping I was just hungry.  Nope.  It stayed.  I have had headaches in the afternoon for a few days now, but didn't think much of it. 

It hasn't got too bad, I was able to eat a mild supper, but totally weak and tired, like I'm in a dream.  Lay on the couch, dozing/listening to 2 movies...my thoughts are more jumbled and nonsensical than usual (I didn't know that was possible turn )  Good to know, I guess...

Took my temp when I got home, it was 94.8.  A couple of hours later, 97.  Eh.

Anyone else have something like this lately?

Debbie

Wow Debbie,

I sure hope you aren't coming down with the flu. It is never fun... I hope that you feel better soon. Remember starve a cold feed a fever??? Does that apply to flu too???

Take care sweetie. Feel better soon...

Hugs, Karen...

Drink lots of fluids and rest. Don't forget the chicken soup. ;-)

flu like symptoms are quite common with fm, even low grade fever. I have had these same things happen to me over the years with fm, really feel beat and so miserable.

feel better soon, Linda

I had something similar a few weeks ago. It was like a flu that never really materialized. Felt sort of draggy for a few days and just sort of--well, lousy.

I hope you're better soon! :)

It is the time of year for the flu. Not fun at all. I hope you are feeling better soon.

I have flu like symptoms so much that I am wondering if I have chronic fatigue also. I am not sure if it is that common with fm. Sometimes it puts me in bed but most the time I can keep it where I can at least drive and do my minimal chores. Headache, sinuses, eyes, achiness, nausea, fatigue, chills, hot sweats - I get it all.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hope you were able to get some good sleep and that your nausea and "that feeling" has resolved itself.
Popsicles for some reason help nausea for me. Sending some good healing vibes your way, my friend.

Hugs, Robin

Veggie
Sorry - spell check made the change
Should be "Debbie"

Sorry u are feeling this way..
This happens to me frequently & I have given up trying to figure out what it is. ; )

Still, thoughts run thru my head - flu? 24 hr bug? Food posioning ? Fibro ? One of my meds ? Stress? Lack of sleep?
Combo of any of the above?

Is why often hesitate before eating.. sometime, no matter what I choose to eat, I feel queasy. I have logged meds/ foods / etc w/ timeline trying to find the reason & solve the problem

Would be interested in having an answer though

Sounds like flu symptoms. Many people complain from nausea and headache combined with higher temperature. I live in a remote country but viruses today respect no frontiers. However with fibro one never knows. Like Diane i`m often at a loss with my symptoms. It masquerade so many diseases. Drink tea and rest as much as you can.

Hope you would feel better soon, that`s what matters.
Hugs

Thanks for all the replies. I'm still fighting it, still wondering if I'm really gonna get smacked....

I hope you are fine, too, Debbie. I will get slight nausea but only in the morning so I attribute that to needing to eat even though I don't feel like it. But once I do, I am much better.

There are so many things going around this time of year so your body is probably fighting things off right now. Do get better and be totally feeling good by Christmas...at the very latest.
