When I get sick, I get sore and achey from head to toe. I feel like my muscles are all bruised or charley horse. What do you do to relieve muscle soreness? I’ve tried hot baths/showers, which help temporarily but sometimes leaves me sorer after. Ibuprofen or muscle relaxants don’t seem to help me much for this kind of pain. Any ideas for me?
When you are sick, it is normal to experience flu-like symptoms. Your immune system is on overdrive producing anti-bodies. Anti bodies also produce histamines which end up in your muscles.
Advil and Tylenol may work, but the thing you need most is an overdose of sleep.
Applying heat should help (sauna would be great), but above all you need rest, and to drink lot of fluids.
Know the feeling. :/ Refuah sheleimah!
SaysMe-Try this combination for relief of sore muscles. Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and Vitamin D3. As a side please get tested(a simple blood test)to determine what level your Vitamin D is at. Salmon(hopefully non farmed)is a good source of Vitamin D as Mushrooms are too. Take advantage of the Vitamin D natural supplementation from the Sun. All these suggestions and more such as eating more Alkaline Foods will help reduce the sore feeling. Good luck and feel better.

Try Aleve – 2 pills first 12 hrs & 1 the second 12 hrs & then 1 every 12 hrs.
Or try increasing the IB (Advil) you can take upto 3-4 pills every 6 hrs.
SM -“Or the aleve- does aleve help fever too?”
Yep.
