Virus

I am now able to feed myself again

6th April 2008 - 22:09 - bob

After last weekend and the awful pain I was rather glad that, by Monday morning I was feeling pretty-much better again. My hands were a bit unresponsive for a couple of days - which made typing a bit of a chore, but otherwise I've been fine.

With no further symptoms, I assume that it was some form of passing virus that I am now rid of.

I am sure that this a relief to everyone.

Virus?

Why I can't squeeze my toothpaste out of the tube

Just to save you asking, this is a picture, heavily mutilated, of a virus.

For the past few days I've had the strangest feeling in all my muscles.

They hurt to move, they seem to be weaker.

Things I can't really do :

  • pick up a tiny little baby
  • squeeze my toothpaste out without using two hands (even then it's a struggle) (the tube is nearly new)
  • pick-up a full kettle
  • type. (other than with two fingers, moving my whole hands)
  • walk up/down the stairs without a bunch of pain

Otherwise I feel fine. Nose/throat/eyes are fine. My mind is as sharp/crisp as ever.

I am hoping that this is just an odd virus / post-viral thing. If it isn't then I'm getting very scared.
