Answer 1

many times after such an illness people can develop Fibromyalgia. Much of what you talk about sounds like it.

Here is a brief list of common symptoms of this disease:

Chronic pain throughout the body
Burning, numbness and tingling
Tenderness when pressure is placed on or around the neck, elbows, hips, thighs and knees.
Sleep disorders
Chronic fatigue or exhaustion
Depression
Anxiety
Facial Pain
Jaw Pain (TMJ)
Memory Loss
Irritable Bowel
Tension or Migraine Headaches
High sensitivity to foods and medications (allergic type reaction).
Minimal tolerance to heat and cold
High sensitivity to bright lights and sounds
Hair Loss

if these symptoms sound like what you are experiencing see a doctor of rheumatology for an examination of Fibromyalgia.

Answer 2

Here's the solution, take a long pillow (body pillow) and place between your legs lengthwise -starting mid-thigh or higher and running down beyond your ankles. I used to flip back and forth *due to hip/leg pain 10-11 times a night - now maybe 1-2 times, if at all (only if the pillow slips out) - it must run the full length of your legs. I have passed this on to others (family / friends) and all claim it to be a miraculous solution. I hope this helps you - I know how bad it can get + losing 2-3 hours a night of sleep tossing and turning...sleep well my friends.

That sounds like what happend to me 4 years ago. Had the exact same symptoms. Turns out it was Mono. Infectious mononucleosis (pronounced: mah-no-noo-klee-oh-sus), sometimes called "mono" or "the kissing disease," is an infection usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). I attached a site. The only way to tell for sure is a blood test and there is nothing to get rid of it but time, lots of rest and fluids. Hope this helps and hope you feel better soon. Took me over a year to fully get over it.
