I am the opposite, can't handle hot anything, it burns my skin & leaves me with welts. We are so different in these illnesses.
Feel better soon, God bless us all for a cure soon.

Been there, unfortunately. We all wish they'd take the dang truck off the road!!! Just try to destress and it will get better. A very hot shower or soak in a hot tub helps me. Moist heat works wonders. I'll pray for you! Hope you have a restful evening. That helps too.

Body aches, skin hurts, joints hurt and are stiff, nausea, headache, overwhelming fatigue, dizzy, weak, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle pain and so on. When I first got sick I told my doctor that I have the flu all the time. I hope this helps ❤️🙏🏻
