it’s been about a week now since the boy I babysit was diagnosed with fifths disease and it’s been about 3 days since i’ve posted about possibly having it. since then, my joints have gotten worse. it went from my knees to my elbows and now to my wrists hands and fingers. My hands and feet are so swollen. Could this be something else? I heard it’s way worse in adults than kids but it seems to be getting worse at this point
If u were around someone infected u will become infected with the virus. 4 day incubation period then ur symptoms will persist. You can pass this to ur fetus if expecting while carrying the virus. This virus is also known as different names such as hand foot and mouth . Parvovirus. B19 . Are some commonly used names .
I would call ur doctor and let them know you have come into contact with someone who has the virus and you are now showing symptoms... better safe then sorry :)
Ok. He has a younger sister and I have my daughter that I bring and neither of them got it. I’m thinking I might have lymes disease actually. my hands and feet and knees are swollen. all my joints are hurting. my head hurts. my neck hurts i’m tired and dizzy
