fever over this way? I know the mosquito population is horrible but we've had no West Nile reported yet. I've run a temp that I''m positive of for the last couple of days. It's been as high as 101.9 today and I was shivering before that. But I didn't think so much of it until my best friend asked me why I was shaking so hard. I was shivering so hard that it took both hands to hold a glass of milk. She made me take my temp. My normal temp runs 97.6 And my stomach is always messed up because of the neuropathy so I don't think too much about problems with it. Whatever I've got has been here a couple of days at least. I started out just sweating terribly but one of the meds sometimes makes me sweat if the doses are too close together. And I've just been so terribly tired. But then I've been pushing myself harder than usual.
The pain doctor gave me a prescription for some small Fentanyl patches. Only 12mg. I am taking so much medicine for the autoimmune problems and I didn't want to take it, but he told me that my pain threshold expression was just too high. Hard to concentrate, twitchy, looking at my husband hoping he'll finish sentences, etc. Seems he noticed all of that and suggested I try some of the small ones. I've used them for a few days. But I just think they don't do much good until I took them off. It took me a few days to get over the detox from them. And then I tried to turn over in the bed. My rear is still broken obviously. I couldn't turn from my back to my side. I was still able to get up tho with help from my husband. This is disappointing because I thought I was making some headway there.
But how in the world do you know when you are seriously ill? A fever for I'm not really sure how long, shivers seemed normal, stomach hurts but then it usually does, etc. How do you know when you are sick? I am to see the doctor on Thurs for my reg. checkup, and if my temp comes back this evening. I'll call first thing in the morning and ask for an appt. tomorrow if they can manage it. Dahlek said I was too quiet. Don't you all wish she'd kept her mouth shut now??!
