A 40-year-old woman comes to the office because of fatigue and muscle aches for the past three days. The patient says, “I rarely have to use a sick day at work, but today I had to excuse myself. My nose won't stop running, and I'm having the worst headache of my life. I don't feel like talking to anyone and have to use the restroom every hour.” The patient reports difficulty sleeping and felt warm last night.
