Eli5 please: I woke up with a little stomach bug, so why does my whole body ache? Why are the fingers and toes aching when the stomach is sick? How does that work?

It’s possible you don’t just have a stomach bug, rather an illness that also causes stomach aches.
A lot of sicknesses due cause body aches, not only because of fevers. I can’t explain why. I am unsure. I just know there are tons of things that can cause stomach pains and body aches, not necessarily just a “stomach bug.”
