Yes, nearly every joint

I've had a lot to say but not the gumption to say it...

I have had some strange illness, a headache for 3 or 4 days that was bad enough to keep me from exercising, followed by lots of joint pain in the middle of the night Saturday. Nearly every joint in my body is swollen and hurts. I look and feel 80 ( and even the 80 year olds may resent that ). It's bad when it even hurts to hold the remote.

I'll check back with more, but I am hoping it is the adult version of Fifth's Disease, which your kids have probably had at some point or other. The alternatives, that I hope will be ruled out with some blood tests, are not so benign.

I hope to be back soon with tales to tell...

Miss you all.
Nanc

Thanks for the news. Appreciating hearing from you.
Raised 3 kids and never heard of that Fifth thing.
I sure hope it all goes away very expediently.
Best wishes and Blessings!

That sounds awful! Fifth's disease? I thought that was more itchy than swelling. I hope you are okay, keep us posted.

Several of my students had that in my preschool class. Not a comfortable disease at all. I hope that you feel better soon.

uh-oh. take it easy.

(you haven't been out to az lately, have you? sounds like valley fever, which is common out here. every joint of mine was sooooo swollen for like a week until the anti-fungal kicked in (caused by a fungus spore in your lungs)).
