is this a virus?

[Jenarry]

i feel a bit under the weather at the moment and i'm wondering what it is. i wonder if anyone can help.
i feel like i haven't much energy and could go to bed at anytime and go straight to sleep. my back is aching a little and i feel sick. also last night i came out in a rash all over my arms. i was in the middle of a meeting so wasn't able to check my body etc. it has gone now but it looked quite alarming at the time.
i remember feeling like this before some months ago and i actually had the rash on my face.
i'm thinking it's a virus that i can't do much about..any ideas anyone.

You seem to have said it all.............it could well be viral.BUT
How long have you been feeling this way?
Are you taking any medication?
Have you lost any weight?

only medication i'm on is the mini pill which i wasn't on last time i had this.
this time i've been feeling like this on and off for about a month now.
i think it's the rash that concerns the most prob because it strikes home that something isn't right.and i worry about my little boy catching it as he's diabetic and seems to catch everything going. the consultant says his diabetes may have been caused by a virus so i suppose i'm a bit wary now.

<<On and off for a month<< doesn´t sound like a virus.
Rash doesn´t sound like a virus either and hence should not affect or infect your son.

I would suggest a visit to your GP for a blood work up.
