IN JUST A FEW HOURS I BEGAN TO HAVE ACHING PAIN IN MY LEGS, ARMS, BACK, ALL OF MY MUSCLES NOW ACHE. i AM TIRED AND HAVE CHILLS HOWEVER, i DO NOT HAVE A FEVER? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe chills indicate that there is a change in body temperature even if you are not detecting a fever.Based on the symptoms mentioned, it is possible that you have a viral infection. Most viral infections can cause these symptoms but you there are no symptoms mentioned that point to a particular virus.The most common viral infections are the cold/flu and gastrointestinal (causing vomiting and diarrhea)Since the symptoms are so severe, it may be best to be assessed.I hope this helps
