Does anyone with this or a similar diagnosis ever have a very specific feeling that comes over them during a flare that is uber specific and of which is nearly impossible to describe to others? A feeling most closely matching the definition of the word "malaise" but a feeling of deep systemic sickness emanating throughout various systems of the body: in the bones, in the stomach, and namely in the head. The only way I can even come close to describing it is if you've ever been punched in the nose, you know that strange almost derpy ringing feeling in your face? Well it's nearly like that but this one emanates throughout your entire being and it is not at all pleasant. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? It's so frustrating and scary. Before I went through hepatitis C treatment I attributed it to my liver acting up and would immediately drink dandelion tea in hopes of making it stop. But now that I am cured of hepatitis C (as much as one can be) I am no longer sure what exactly this feeling is; is it a flare? Could it be blood cancer? Because honestly this is how I would imagine blood cancer feeling. I appreciate constructive feedback and any and all positive interaction. Thank you all.
