It feels like the flu but I'm not understanding how it comes back as I'm 100% fine in the days between bouts.
Not saying it is this, but it's one I looked up last time I got sick:

Trichinosis is usually characterized by two phases:
  • the initial phase (intestinal) of abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea that begins one to two days after ingestion and
  • the second phase (muscle) of muscle aches, itching, fever, chills, and joint pains that begins about two to eight weeks after ingestion.
