I thought I was dying last night. No exaggeration. I was up watching tv until two and feeling quite find but a little sleepy- as expected. I decided to call it a night and just hit the bed. I got into bed and realized I was feeling a bit chilly so I snuggled under my sheet a bit more. Not even half an hour later I had a fever over a hundred, I was covered in goose pimples, I was shaking uncontrollably and every single inch of my body hurt. I got up to get more covers and change in much warmer clothes and I was knocked to the floor by the chills. At this point I was contemplating calling my mum but decided against it. This is something that used to happen to me as a child and doctors have yet to figure out what it is. It was just too much for me. I broke down and started crying as I lay curled in a tiny ball wearing enough clothes to walk around quite fine on Christ,as eve. Thick cotton pants, thick men's pj top over a tank, heavy socks and three sheets. Despite my attempts, I feel asleep and woke up a number of times. The fever has reduced significantly, as has the pain but it seems I'm going to be demanding more blood tests soon. I need to know what this is.

Quick, before the evil MONday gets here! Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That. Sadly. But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top. I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...


I hope you find out what causes it.
Maybe it's a good idea to put a bottle of water and Motrin (ibuprofen) on your bedside table so that next time this happens you can take 2 to get the fever down. Tylenol will also work on a fever, just don't take more than 2 - bad for the liver if you take too much.
((hugs)) I hope you get answers soon!
