Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband and I both woke up feeling nauseated yesterday, with headaches and terribly aching joints... We could barely move! No fever or vomiting, some diarrhea yesterday and today. Do you think it was food poisoning? Could a virus make you ache like that?
yes a gastroenteritis ("stomach flu virus") can typically cause the symptoms you are describing. In most cases this will go away after only a few days though. Until then try to take in enough fluid, eat only light food like soup or similar, and for pain there is paracetamol or ibuprofene available (please check for possible contraindications for your case with your md).
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
