what ?? its not the flu ?

Well after being treated for what we thought was the flu....it hit. Me, my kids & husband were at home, I had just cooked supper so I sat down to eat . After dinner I cleaned up and in a split second it started. I sat down beside my hubby & when I went to stand back up, I couldn't ! My right arm felt like it was broken, my legs were hurting so bad I couldn't stand up & walk.When I made it to my feet all Icould do was start screaming from the pain, my husband looked at me like I was going mad. I made a attempt to go to the bathroom, it took 20minutes to sit down & another 30 minutes to work up the courage to stand back up ! At this point I seriously thought " what the heck is wrong with me " ?  Me, being the stubborn person I am, refused to go back to the doctor.  Instead I chose to  I suffer several more days until my husband said " you re going to the Dr whether I have to drag you kicking or screaming...you re going". It never dawned on me that the rash I had on my leg & the tick I pulled off of me were the cause of  such agony.
