This sounds like the beginning of an auto-immune disorder, possibly Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Immune Disorder. An autoimmune disorder is where the body attacks itself for unknown reasons, but doctors do suspect that these conditions are stress related. After a long time of dealing with the symptoms, eventually damage is done that is irreversible; think rheumatoid arthritis. Exercise helps the body deal with the effects of hormone overload from living a stressful life. Music Therapy helps slow the mind down, allowing the body to actually relax, rest, and recuperate. Massage Therapy reteaches the body how to relax, often allowing the mind to relax also. Meditation is also another way to allow the mind to relax and destress. Yoga combines both exercise and meditation to “kill two birds with one stone” so to speak.

Either way, relearn to be kind to yourself. When your body is telling you that you hurt, listen to yourself. Drink plenty of fluids, at least 3 large bottles of water (room temp. water, not iced). Also, avoid hot beverages and hot showers/baths (warm is good, but not hot). Eat more fruits and drink fresh-made fruit smoothies (no vodka added, please!).

When your body is aching and feverish, try this bath remedy:
5 cups Epsom Salts
1 cup baking soda
Mix into warm running bath water and soak up to your neck for 20 minutes, no longer than that. Then, go to sleep with soothing “spa” or massage music on. Try music by R. Carlos Nakai — Native American flute music, very soothing and trance-like — it will put you to sleep in no time!

A totally different reason could be that you are harboring a long-term, slight bladder/kidney infection. When you are feverish and achey, maybe your doctor could run a urine test on you at that time. Otherwise, you could be getting up in the morning, begin to drink more fluids and the symptoms of the infection will disappear until a later day. Doesn’t mean the infection is gone, though.

And…..you could have both things going on. (I did. But I’ve recovered from the bladder/kidney infection and am dealing much better with Fibro/CFS.)
