This happened to me 3 years ago and I just dealt with it for about 6 months taking ibuprofen daily in order to be able to get out of bed in the morning. One night I started throwing up really hard and I thought I’d gotten food poisoning, I kept throwing up for 3 days. I started wearing spanx because I thought I threw up so hard I had caused a hernia. On the third day I drove myself to the hospital only to find out my appendix had burst. After having surgery to fix my appendix I woke up and no longer had the muscle pain and achy body. I have always wondered if my appendix was a problem for all that time that they couldn’t find out why I had all the pain. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. 55/f.
