My body has been aching the last few days, even my hair. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I imagine you’re coming down with the flu or something provided you haven’t exerted yourself recently and haven’t been injured. Don’t worry about it. I doubt it’s because of your heating.

Pro tip: Your hair can’t feel pain. Your scalp certainly can, but I promise your hair will never pain you.

Yes that could very much so be from a fouled up furnace. Did you just start using your furnace to heat your home recently? Do you feel better away from your home??

A cracked heat exchanger will pump carbon monoxide into your home and do a number on you and even kill you. Have a HVAC technician do a winter check up.

I would take some tylenol and see it the pain goes away. If it does than it may not be the furnace.
@Cruiser has a good idea but if you don’t want’ to spend that kind of money than buy a carbon monoxide alarm. They are pretty in expensive.
If it isn’t your furnace go see a doctor. It can be any number of reasons. Arthritis, medications you are currently taking, virus, or infection or even allergies.

Carbon monoxide in your house from a cracked heat exchanger can kill you.

Carbon monoxide alarms are expensive, but if you have gas heat or appliances in your home you really should have one. Fire extinguishers are quite expensive, too, but surely you have one of those.

Flu-like effects (such as what you’re experiencing) are a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning. It says on Wikipedia: “Following acute poisoning, long-term sequelae often occur.” Meaning, even if the symptoms don’t improve when you leave your home, you could still have carbon monoxide poisoning.

If you take pain-relieving drugs, your pain may be relieved regardless of its cause. You may very well feel better for awhile, but your exposure to the carbon monoxide will continue and you could die or suffer serious CNS or heart damage as a result.

My advice is to get thee to a doctor and buy a carbon monoxide alarm, as a minimum.

A sunburn will do that as well as being sensitive to high sugar alcohol. It’s pretty much guaranteed my skin, hair and joints will hurt the day after drinking a lot wine.

What do you two mean by saying your hair hurts?

If your hair hurts, you’ve got some pretty interesting hair. I can only imagine how painful a hair cut would be.

@nicobanks: It means my scalp gets sensitive enough to where combing/brushing/ smoothing my hair makes it feel like it’s causing the hurt.
