I am really sick but I don't know what is wrong with me. If anyone has ever had anything like this, please tell me!
First it started about 2 and 1/2 to 3 weeks ago. I work as a cashier in the local grocery store and they had put me on the register really close to the entrance. A draft was blowing in and within 20 minutes I had a sore throat.
Well, that sore throat stayed for a few days (~4 days or so). It suddenly had disappeared when I woke up one morning but my voice sounded HORRIBLE. My voice was all scratchy and went in and out all day long. This went on for another 4 days or so, but I had no pain with it. Well, it started to go away about the same time I had some sort of chest congestion happening. I felt like I had a lot of mucus in my chest so I bought some medicine to break it up. Then I proceeded to have a cough for a few days (4+), which I handled with medicine as well.
So, the cough goes away but I still felt a little sick for another couple of days. That feeling left me a few days ago and now, now I'm in terrible pain all over my body!
I don't have a sore throat. I don't have a crackly voice. I don't have a snotty nose or mucus congestion. I don't have a cough. I have no "symptoms" of a cold, the flu, or any other illness that is common. I had my period and this pain started like the last 2 days of my period, I'd guess.
My muscles hurt though. My joints hurt! It's like every single muscle in my body has been trampled. My joints and muscles are absolutely killing me, to the point where I called in sick to work one day. I stayed in and rested all day long that day but I was still just as sore. I've had two days in a row off since I called in sick and my body still aches.
The pain feels much like I've overextended EVERYTHING, but I have no idea how. I started the job about 2 months back and was only "really sore" like the first two weeks of it. The job gives me the normal sore-from-standing-all-day but the pain I'm having now is really, really bad and not like before.
So, my muscles AND my joints ache for no reason that I can find. Nothing is giving me relief either. Warm showers don't help. In my sleep I have to lay in a certain position to help lessen some of the pain (if I lay in certain positions it feels like I'm pulling a lot more muscles).
I haven't done any manual labor that should make me hurt like this. I haven't changed eating habits really (and I was taking vitamins up until yesterday--just in case they were causing some sort of inflammation). I've been drinking enough water. Heck, I have gotten plenty of sleep recently. The weather was weird for a few days--where it was really warm and now it's back REALLY cold again.
I thought maybe it was mono since I've never had mono but I don't have any other symptoms associated with mono.
Can anyone tell me what my cause me being sore like this all over and how I can fix it? Any idea what this could be? Is there anything I can take or do for relief? (link)

Where are you from? I've got the same symptoms but haven't been sick at all. Just sore all over like I was hit by a mack truck!!! I'm tired and lethargic, but still able to go about things pretty normally. My spouse is concerned, so I got online. I'm in SC.
