It’s a bizarre symptom of chronic fatigue, that feeling as if you are getting a cold. A boy crying wolf as many times as I get this symptom would have been well and truly disregarded by now.
The problem is, sometimes the cry is real and it really is the flu coming for it’s annual visit. The problem is, how do you distinguish the genuine cries from the fakes?
The past few days I have been certain I have the flu, yet it doesn’t progress, and I haven’t gotten the standard symptoms we all are so familiar with. No runny or blocked nose, yet all other signs point to the flu. Headaches, sore throat, achy muscles, yet it stays this way, and bizarrly comes and goes.
It would seem I have yet again been fooled despite all my experience, and have misinterpreted the symptoms as the common flu, when in fact it is just a simple flare up of my illness. How did I get it wrong again? It is frustrating and disheartening to be lied to by your own body, of all things in this world, my own body should be one I can count on.
