Today's mystery: Do I have a cold, or did I socialize too much this week?
- Saturday: Event in town, with small kids, socializing
- Sunday: Teambuilding event
- Monday: Work strategy meeting
- Tuesday: Held a presentation and socialized
- Wednesday: Work strategy meeting
- Thursday: Course w/group sessions, parents over for dinner
- Friday: Work event, work event
- Saturday: Museum trip, family visit
Throughout the week, slow buildup of joint pain, feverish feeling, lack of appetite, swollen throat, buzzing head, torpor, lack of focus. Today I am just broken.
These are all (for me) normal physical reactions to overextending myself socially or spending time in sensory intense environments for any amount of time. They are also symptons I would get if I caught the head cold that is going around.
It feels extremely silly that I have literally zero idea if I have a cold or not.
Anyway, treatment is same either way: Take it easy for a while. Mostly wanted to share my frustrating confusion and maybe hear if others have similar experiences and how they manage. :)

I have something similar at the moment. I first was thinking I was overworking myself, then I thought it was food poisoning or something, but it seems to be some kind of infection.
I'm slightly better now, but the past 3 days, I was basically bedridden. I couldn't even make an appointment with the doctor or prepare food. I just can't think anymore when I'm this sick. The physical discomfort is almost negligible compared to the inability to think and do anything anymore.
