Have 102.1 fever-taking DS PTSD break

Community Leadermujicaptsd

I had a rough night last night and today twice my thermometer has shown me to be running a fever of 102.1.  I have chronic kidney disease and diabetes, so at 61 I'm in the high risk group for COVID-19.  My buddy of 37 years, Deb, died of it in 2 days on March 13th.



I called a member of my church board to cancel being their guest speaker tomorrow.  I called my next door neighbor to let her know I'd like to get to the ER for a COVID-19 test.  I collapsed for reasons unknown in the night Feb. 24th and spent a night in the hospital for observatioin and neurological and cardiological tests that were inconclusive.



I live alone, so I'm scared.  If I'm not on here as your CL for a few days this is why.  Hope to be back.

mujicaptsd - I reread your post. Maybe your buddy is not your wife? Anyway, hope you get the test and treatment if you need it.

Thinking of you and will continue with ongoing prayers.

My pastor once said, "If I get covid, the worst that can happen is I get very sick. The best?? I will meet Jesus.." While life is precious and not to be taken for granted, it helped me find peace in a way.

Thanks, everybody. It was another bad night but my temperature peaked at that 102.1 last night and came down during the wee hours this morning to 100, so I'm relieved. Now I'll try to get coronavirus testing this week. Your prayers and replies here really helped me as I struggled with my fears that I would die like my buddy Deb did in March. So glad I could be back here at DS PTSD.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
