Down and depress for last 2 weeks

I wonder why but I have been full of blues of late, starting early last week when my bodyache started. I also wondered what caused the body ache. It seemed like the kind which would be followed by fever, flu, etc, but I had none! I felt feverish at times but there wasn't a fever! But the ache continued.

I believed that played a major part in my mood. It went right down. I felt frustrated, quick tempered and impatient - more so than normal. I was also very exhausted, totally didn't want to move. The hot weather didn't help much too, or rather, made the situation worse.

I didn't want to bear with it anymore so went to the doctor last Thur. He was worried it could be dengue or HFMD but I had none of the symptoms. He said it could be a viral infection. Darn. Was on 2 days MC after that. The pain didn't go off but continued to make me very uncomfortable and cranky and very tired. I didn't even have the mood and motivation to work. I was like a slow coach. Do things slowly, even thinking became more impaired than usual.

Earlier this week, one of my colleagues advised me to get a referral from my GP to see a specialist and do a scan. Body ache for this long is something I may want to be careful of. She said there was an ex-colleague who realised she had cancer after she went for checks because of body aching. :(

Anyway, thank goodness my ache is much better today than the last 2 weeks. It is generally gone except for when I try to strain/straighten my body or turn it in some funny position. Sometimes I also feel uncomfortable while sleeping. Sigh, is this sign of old age?

I am still wondering.
