question: went to the er on friday and they said i had the flu.  They gave me a script for prednisone.  I slept alot until Sunday afternoon and then was unable to sleep for the next 3 days.  Getting only 6 hours total.  Last night I began having extreme muscle pain but was able to sleep more.  The pain has become worse and lasted all day.  Every muscle in my body hurts.  If someone touches me lightly it causes me to wince with the pain.  The only other symptom I have is a headache.  Is this part of the flu or should I see a doctor
