Default 105 Fever & Trip to ER

Long story short (I'm fine now) Didn't know I was sick, until my temperature SUDDENLY spiked to 105.3 last night and I was chivering convulsively out of control. Spent the night in the ER. They got my fever down, pumped me full of antibiotics. It turned out to be a UTI.

Okay, I had felt no burning....should I have felt burning? I'm afraid my body is becoming so numb that I'm not feeling things I should be. Somehow I'm going to have to learn how to keep better tabs on my body. I'm sure I must have had this for quite some time for it to have gotten so out of hand.

Anyway, I guess I gave my dh quite a scare. But I was so out of it all I could feel was my body convulsing. I thought I was in our old farmhouse. i was just out of it. I don't wish to repeat this!

Any input or suggestions would be welcomed.

ALSO: During the time of my high fever I lost the use of my left leg. This is the side that I was temporarily paralyzed on a couple years ago with an MS attack. But by the time the fever came down and I got back home.....leg is just fine...or at least as fine as it was prior to the fever. That was kinda scary.
