I feel like I'm dying,and I don't think anone gets it.Like right now,my chest hurts so bad,and I don't even get it.My Dr. wants to blame it on something it's not because he doesn't get it.I've been told that he's burnt out,and had a few patients my age,and some a little younger die lately,because he didn't get it,and gave up,just like he did me! It takes time to get a new Doctor,and all the records transferred.In the meantime,I'm getting worse by the day! My chest just started hurting out of nowhere,and I just spiked a fever again,just like 5-10 minutes ago! But since the ER won't treat me,there's nothing I can do! They did a heart study,but my Dr. said that the arrythmia was normal for people to have,and that the fact that my heart takes extra beats here and there,is normal to! I asked my friend if he was telling the truth,and she vouched for him on that,because I don't trust him! But I am miserable here,if you notice the time on my posts,I now can only sleep in the day,and I am up all night! Because of the fevers! I just don't have anyone to talk to about how I feel when my Doctor friend is getting ready to move in 3 weeks to a different state! I get to spend a few hours with her tomorrow,and I can't wait!

J, you NEED to calm down. Your getting yourself ALL worked up over there.

Let's just TRY to figure this out, ok?

You say you have a fever, well, maybe you DO. If that's the case then you have caught something. Are you drinking plenty of OJ? Eating oranges?? Lots of Water?? Eating fruit?? Can you sit in the sun at all??
Direct sunlight is so healing.

I had an infected fingertip once, went to the doc about it. She said "Oh, put neoSporin on it and keep it covered." I did what she said it it wasn't getting any better, for MONTHS!! OK< so I figured out HER advice wasn't working. So I sat in an open window since this was in the winter, with the glass up and just the screen so the sunlight could get directly on it. Within a week the infection cleared up. The UV rays of the sun kill bacteria. I KNOW this yet I listened to the Doc. She was telling me just the Opposite of what I had to do.

OK, your chest is bothering you? Well, if you are anxious that can be the cause and you certainly do sound anxious. Can you take a long, hot shower and do some stretches in there?? Take your time, spread your arms back and let the hot water hit right on your chest, it will help to relax the tense muscles. When you get out, put some nice music on that is Calm and soothing. Not HeadBanging hard rock, that will NOT be beneficial. Lay on the floor in the sun if you can NAKED and try to slow your breathing down. But take long, deep breaths and exhale slowly. Stay down for a while and just relax, go to your HAPPY PLACE, you know, the BEACH.

TRY TO CALM DOWN AND RELAX, WILL YA???

Justice

sure hoping you managed to get some rest and are feeling better

Let us know how you are ok

I'm allergic to direct sunlight,I'll break out in a rash,the COPD makes it to where I can't breath very well lying down,and the heat from the shower will spike my fever even higher,I just take baths,and even those spike my fever! But I was sick yesterday pretty bad,I tried to walk,and was found on the side of the road after 4 blocks throwing up,and brought home,and helped back inside,just to spend another 2-3 hours in the bathroom!

Oh man. Well, Cool yourself down then. I once broke out in a rash from the sun but it was from some antibiotic I was taking at the time. Are you drinking lots of ICE Water?? If you are dehydrated that can make you sick to your stomach. Your fever seems to be raising hell with you. You should be resting then.

When I had Legionaire's Disease last Winter I had the same symptoms you are describing. I threw up alot too and had the big "D". And stomach cramps and fever and chest congestion and overall aches and pains. It was just horrible.

You should go read about it. I may have a link saved, hold on a minute............
