A member asked:
Please explain why does the body ache when you're sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Collateral damage: The body unleashes an attack on any invading germs, which unfortunately can lead to feelings of being wiped out, achy and not-feeling well. There's not much we can do about it- other than to rest, eat well (chicken soup, fluids), and try to minimize stresses and toxin exposures (alcohol/smoke). The body's immune systems are extremely complex and powerful -for more information read about cytokines.
