I almost couldn't pick up my baby tonight

This is really weird, I'm not sure what's going on with me. Over the past 24 hours, my joints have been aching terribly as if I'm 80 and I have severe arthritis. It came on so suddenly, I'm baffled and a little bit freaked with what's going on with me. I'm 32 years old, and generally very healthy - never had an issue like this before. During the day I was ok, joints felt a little achy, but I just kept doing my thing. By the evening though, I could hardly pick up my 5 month old. What the hell??

I'm going to make an appointment to see my doctor, but truthfully, I'm weirded out by this. Against my better judgment I did a google search on sudden achy joints and now my head is swimming with thoughts of lupus, MS, fibromyalgia, all that scary stuff. I just want to be able to take care of my kids! I say a prayer every night thanking God for my kids' health, and praying for their continued health, but I never realized how much I take my own health for granted until I started feeling like this. Ugh. I hope it's nothing.?

I'm sorry. It is so scary when something isn't right and you don't know why. I hope everything turns out okay for you.

Definitely make an appt tomorrow. Hopefully it's nothing. GL!

When I was a kid I caught some weird flu virus that settled into my joints and presented itself in such a way that I could not walk for almost two weeks! It was the weirdest things, I was in the hospital and doctors could not figure out what was going on and then all the sudden I was fine again.

I am not saying it is the exact same thing because my case was a bit extreme but maybe you have some sort of virus that is affecting your joints?

Do you live in CT?  Every time I hear joint issues, I think Lyme Disease.

Definitely make the appt.  No matter what it is, it sounds like something that should be seen asap!

could it be lymes?  I also find my joints are really stiff and sore with all this freakin rain.  

here's my advice---DON"T GOOGLE!!! Google is NOT your friend!!!

good luck! hope your doc has some answers and solutions! {{hugs}}
