Nerves

I'm worried. I've got some sort of fluey-cold thing, with aching joints and a pain in the lower back and kidneys. Intellectually I know it's just a cold or mild virus, but I don't like the way I ache and feel weak. I've needed to sleep in the afternoon or early evening for the last two days.

In 2003 I had a undiagnosed strange illness that left me weak, pathetic, unable to work well and needing to sleep every few hours. Over the course of four months I lost fourteen kg and remained weak for several months afterwards which impinged n my general outlook on life and what activities I could do. That bout of illness was prompted by a problem with my driving position, but I have no way of knowing -yet- whether this is a recurrence of something similar.

I'm worried.
