and the only prescription ... is more cowbell!

Seriously though, both of my boys and Stacy have already had this 4-5 day long fever and now its my turn. My joints ache and my head feels woozy. Supposedly, it's a virus that is going around in our area. :giveup:
 
Haha... It worked. I broke the fever last night. :)
 
Rats.... I spoke too soon. Lost about a gallon of sweat last night (estimated) and woke up feeling great, so I thought it broke, but it returned with a vengeance later this morning/afternoon.

Day 3 for me.... ugh.

Curiously, I took a nap this afternoon and kept waking myself because I realized I wasn't breathing. That's when I took some fever reducer (like I had done last night). I don't want to encourage sleep apnea!
 
Let me know when you need more cowbell, ther's plenty more where that came from! Hope you're feeling better.
 
That was one nasty virus. I'm 100% again, but the virus continues on in others I know. I don't remember 5 day fever viruses plaguing communities when I was a child, but then, I guess I didn't really pay attention to that sort of thing then either.
 
How high was your fever? I was out all day running all over greater Las Vegas yesterday in the heat and feel like crap today. Headache, stiff neck, and breaking a sweat like a low grade fever. Been sweating since I came home last night. Only problem is, these are the same symptoms of a RA flare too so not sure if the RA is getting ready to blow or coming down with something.

Think I'll just go back to bed for a while.

I didn't start checking it until day 3, but 102.4F was the highest measurement I got.
