My body works part-time now.

AIDS?

AIDS?

Gee Thanks, Agent...
Well, the symptoms are awfully similar to malaria..and I get bitten by mosquitoes a lot...but I dont think it is possible here. Y'day was the last night when I slept without a temperature...I woke up feeling with a little fever but now it is gone...hope to be back in service on Monday...and hopefully get some bloodwork done and solve this mystery. My wife rubbed vodka all over me last night...apparently it is a Russian remedy or a fetish...I dont know.

Any news on this? My husband had been laid up since Wednesday afternoon with a fever and exhaustion; upset stomach too. When he called from work saying he was coming down with something and mentioned similar symptoms, I thought of swat.

KY, I just took off work that Friday & rested like hell over the weekend... Drank lots of Vitamin C water and kept popping in the flu pills every 6 hours. I never made it to the doctor - I know they will make me wait for hours and I really dont have that kind of patience..This last week has been okay though I occassionally I felt the temp come back. Good Luck.

My right knee is now bruising on it's own. I've woken up the past few nights in tears because I extended it. So... YAY! Another scope!!

Took Hubby about a week. He rested nearly all day, all that weekend. Although, after about 4 days, he thought some of his problem was caffeine withdrawal. He went from 4-6 cups of coffee a day to only Sierra Mist (and crackers). It took him 2-3 days to get his energy back up and be able to eat decent portions of food without feeling bad.

Very odd bout of illness. I'd never known somone to have only a fever and exhaustion to deal with, but he's a lot better now. Hope you're better soon.

Do you have West Nile Virus where you are? That sounds a lot like the symptoms...especially if you get bit a lot.

Several people in the Dakotas get it every year, and maybe ten or so die in SD alone.

When the pandemic comes I hope you doctoraphobes don't wait to report your symptoms and take the antidote. Glad you're feeling better.
