Had colonoscopy done on tues. 2 days later fever chills joint pains stomach ache mirgrine or headache it rattles. Reached to 102.5. Fever break til 96.8 Now fever comes back 98.6 sighs. Same crap all over again. I refused to go to er unless they made me to. Sore throat too sinus, possible both ear infection. My guess flu? I have not had any flu for years last i remembered around in 5th grade. I was healthy and great til 2 days ago sleepy head for 24 hrs and dont feel like do anything. Having kids around here making harder for me to get better. The doc says if over 103 go to er... I was like er? I don't like hospitals.. Even worse, same day sick day hubby in car accident. Tboned him. And it sucked the car is frigging totalled. My car is gone! That man was not paying attention.

sorry you are having such a rough time. 103 fever for an adult is dangerously high. I hope your fever stays down and you get to feeling better. Sorry about your hubby too. I think that if you have flu there is medication that can shorten it's course but you must get diagnosed within 48 hours, or something like that. Maybe you should go to the ER or an urgent care.

I am going through the same thing myself makes for a miserable weekend..I am on predisone, and there are two strains of the flu going through my work area..I have caught them back to back..I always worry about well maybe this is CD related not the flu? My bloodwork has been all over the place lately so everything is hard to tell--is it CD, long term predisone usage, or something else?? I have taken nyquil the last couple of days and laying low and not feeling much better trying to pull it together to go to work tomorrow..I have an interview to move on to another department so I feel the need to try to pull it together and my body is not cooperating..My fever has spiked up to 101 which completely knocks me out..Hope things get better especially with your car getting wrecked..Things always seem to happen at the worst time.. mad

Yeah. And hubby expected me do dishes after he cooked and all that while in sick w fever with 98.8. I was very pissed. N if he have a fever i take care of him. If another fever strikes. I wouldnt care to have him help me anymore but sitting his ass on the computer. Ugh. Frustrationg grows and anger continue to rise. Ill will not tell him at all what the temp is next time. He way to focused on work on computer. And said te house is flithy dirty. Sick 2 days straight. Ughwho would clean while they are extremly sick? Or morderate. Ty will clean after they get better. MEN! I Blunted at him i wish i was in accident. So u understand how i feel sick and slow motion wife who tried to get it done but heAd rattles constantly. I am done. I wont do crap at all until i feel better. Dont like it forget this crap. Husbands cares thier wives until they are better if a week sickness he can do woman job. He wont. Not my responsiblity. Your job. I paid bills and i work. U r a mom and housewife. When my hubby sick. I make sure he feeling ok. And all that. Ugh!!!! I am sorry i am in a pissing mood. Just want to get the fire out. U dont have to mention anything.

Now. I wont even care what the temp is. I will push it harder to show him. Hey.... Her temp is over 102.0 where were u? Computer doing ur stuff. I will do this next time. Make him realized how dangerous it can be by ingoring me. I temp myself every hour. Next time. I wont even mess with it. I wont say a word. Another vent. Pbbt

I used to get high breaking fevers regularly a few years ago. Nowadays, not so much, although a year ago a 40C (104F) temp while on Remicade got me going to Emergency. The idiots thought I had gastroenteritis, kept me in for a few days, but discharged me without any steroids - I was back even longer a few days later.

Anyhow, fevers are horrible, so I do sympathise. They are extremely rarely dangerous in themselves though. Hopefully this'll reassure you a bit from the medical side of things:

As for your husband, afraid I can't help there, but it sounds like when you're better you need to think about your relationship and possible counselling... :-/

darn right i agree. And he refused. Theretore the medical records will be closed all info directs to me. He wants to know? Only info he can know if im dead. Problem solved. I have to go back to my own self and focus on me and my girls. Temp now 100.3 i think stressed involved to too.

Ah, marital bliss... >_>

Can you take paracetamol (or tylenol, as Americans call it)? That's an okay med for lowering a temp - not as good as ibuprofen, but still not bad.

Tyneol. Yeah

My husband would be a dead man if he pulled that crap on me. Being a Mom and taking care of the house can be just as exhausting as working any full time job. Not to mention all the running around we do. Hope you feel better soon and if its a virus that he catches just make sure you don't bend over backwords for him. Payback is a you know what. ;)
