I do at the moment. I have been in bed for the last few days with normal flu like symtoms such as high fever, headache, sore eyes ect and have felt too tired tired to even get up. (Not normal for someone like me who goes to the gym, plays sport and is a landscaper) The last day my headache has gotten a little better but my throat has become infected and my skin is very sensitive to touch, mainly around my back and chest. This has never happened before so I too was looking to find out if this was normal.

My daughter has been experiencing these exact symptoms for quite some time, accompanied by weakness in her hands (i.e., it's been harder to pick objects up).  She DOES have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, but it's only in one knee joint; these symptoms are all over.  She is only 20 years old and not very active (she doesn't have energy to be more active).  The skin sensitivity really grabbed my attention--that has been of longer duration, while the extreme fatigue and hand problems are relatively recent.  I would appreciate any additional information.

My wife does.  Even rubbing her back or arms is painful for her.  It seems to be more prevalent when there are overcast skies or storms approaching so I wonder if it is related to barometric pressure.  She gets tired and very sensitive to touch, sore and achy all over.  Does this sound like anything you are experiencing?
