Progressively regular with influenza, allover twitches are a sign your body is discharging synthetic chemicals that help your white platelets fend off contamination. 

When to stress: Only if the hurts are weakening, which is once in a while the case with a cold or this season's flu virus. 

Home cures: Get a lot of rest, and scrub down to calm your muscles―or take a stab at utilizing a warming cushion or a warmed water bottle. 

Over-the-counter cures: Acetaminophen or ibuprofen will mitigate the pain.
