I've had this disease going on about 17 years. Got it in college. I
have about maybe 3-4 outbreaks a year, so not too bad, only one is on
my chin. :-(

Anyway, I notice dull muscle aches, and general fatigue right before
and during an outbreak. Makes it harder to work-out, but I do it
anyway. Feeling tired during the outbreak makes me think the immune
system is temporarily taxed. Anyone else feel this? Could be "just
me" syndrome.

Feeling tired is a very common symptom, Jay. You are not alone.

Take care,

You know, in addition to feeling tired before I break out, I also have
muscle aches. But one strange thing I get is toothache/swollen gums.
Though, what I have noticed is that eating a lot of fried/greasy foods and
foods that contains a lot of heat energy will also cause me to breakout...

Yeah, your description, Jay, fits quite a good description
for what happens during an OB. I would add tension in the upper
spine area, just at the base of the neck, with cracking sounds
when twisting the upper back.

I can't explain why the pain in the muscle occurs during that time and
it's a good reason to "google" on it.

Fatigue is a killer with me for about a week prior to an outbreak until
a few days into the outbreak. And I mean FATIGUE!!!! It's hard for me
to do ANYTHING!!!!
