I'm Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

[Princess_Aurora]

I came home from school yesterday feeling okay except for some sore muscles which is typical for me being a court reporting student. When I got home I started cleaning house. About half-way through the cleaning I started feeling really tired and hot. I laid down and things got worse from there. I checked my temp and it was 99.8...less than an hour later it was 103.8. I called DH and he came home early from work to watch the kids while I tried to sleep it off. I took some tylenol for the fever and went to bed. Today the fever has been going up and down and up and down and all my muscles feel like Jello.

I've never gotten sick so fast before...usually I have warning signs. I'm not coughing and i don't have a sore throat. Other than my muscles feeling so weak and my fever, I'm fine.

Do you think this is worth going to the doctor for? I was hoping it would just blow over but it's harder to shake than I thought it would be. Has anyone had anything like this before and if so how long did it take to get rid of it?

P.S. I don't like going to the doctor

Aurora - don't discount West Nile Virus. Best check in with a doctor.

That's a pretty high fever. Go to the doctor tomorrow if you don't feel better. Get some rest tonight.

This seems to be going around in the DFW area. Someone I work with became ill last Thursday and she was sick for about 3 days. She said she had not been that sick in a long time.

I hope you are feeling well soon.

If the fever doesn't go down go to the Dr. I waited once when I had a temp only (it stayed about 104 for 4 days) and when I finally got to the Dr it was kidney infection. Not a good idea to wait.

Sorry to hear you're not well. Have you concidered Lyme Disease. It is caused by a tick or tick bite, a deer tick that is soooo small it's the size if a period...... You may not know if you've been bitten, or even see a bite. They can do a test for a Lyme titer in your blood. If left untreated it can cause damage and arthritisis. They'll put you on antibiotic if they suspect Lyme. I believe it is in Texas now. It started in the New England states and keeps on moving. I hope you're better soon.
