What does MAC pain feel like

@bbeers I can only speak for myself, but I didn't have any specific pain with MAC, except when it was severe and caused out-of-control coughing; then it was rib pain and even a few strained muscles.
What I did have was overall fatigue - my body felt heavy & achy, no energy, no appetite, and I was losing weight.

Everyone is affected differently, but I can tell you that itching skin is very common in my family in winter - a combination of it being dry and wearing heavy clothes, often with some wool.

Thank you Sue. I also read that dehydration can cause itching so I have started drinking more water. I have a hiatal hernia and I have eaten some things these past few days that I should not have, hard to avoid when your invited to parties. Thank you for responding. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
