Hey All, I'm stuck on the couch trying to figure out what I may/may-not have until I can meet with my doctor. Basically, Monday I went to play softball...woke up Tuesday morning with extra sore muscles. Thought nothing of it; but then last night started feeling sick to my stomach, getting the chills and a fever. I have pain almost everywhere in my body...but my arms probably hurt the least...my legs, abs, and butt hurt the most.
Normally I wouldn't think anything of this except the whole "sick" thing and also about 10 days ago I woke up and found a tick stuck to my chest.
Any ideas or remedies would be helpful and appreciated!
As a note...the pain I'm experiencing in my abs and legs makes it almost impossible to move. I thought I was healthy...as I work out 5 days a week (60 min cardio, lift weights)...while I was expecting some soreness...the pain I'm feeling far exceeds my expectations.

Also don't know if this means anything...but I've also had a small headache since Tuesday.

You need to get to the Doctor now! You could be seriously sick and it needs to be taken care of.

You could have been bitten by an infected tick. Check out this site to see if you have some of the symptoms listed. Of course after playing softball with a bunch of people, you could have contacted someone with the flu. Your symptoms seems like you are getting a good case of the flu.

Whoa.... go to the ER. I just read the symptoms of lyme disease, and well.....
"In up to 50% of people who have Lyme disease, the expanding circular rash is accompanied by flulike symptoms such as:
* Fatigue or lack of energy, which is the most common symptom.
* Headache and stiff neck.
* Fever and chills.
* Muscle and joint pain.
* Swollen lymph nodes."

***Okay, cellulitis is a term used to describe a variety of *skin infections.* How would his symptoms have anything to do with cellulitis???

Sounds like a bacterial infection which you can't fight off on your own. I would go to the ER as this can and will kill you. It doesn't matter if you are healthy.

It is very possible you have Cellulitius. Take some kind of antibiotics if you feel thats what it is. It is especially common in people who are diabtetic, like yours truly
