So for the past 3 weeks or so, since a move to a new apartment, I have had a mild to moderate aching pain that comes and goes (lasting 10-30 minutes, maybe 1-2 times a day) in my groin, my lower back, my left calf muscle, my right armpit, my upper chest (both sides). I also had occasional nausea, though always in connection with car or tram travel, or exposure to sunlight (as a child I got sunstroke and heat stroke very easily). This went on for a while, and had me pretty scared. Two days ago I suddenly got a sore throat, yesterday my nose started running and I had swollen lymph nodes under my jaw. Today I have sinus pains, and a stuffy nose.
My mother is of the opinion that all of this is consistent with a flu, which I have never before had. I was vaccinated against the flu in January (five months ago), though I know there are many different strains. What do you think? Does this sound like the flu?
