I have been for 48 hours now. I keep getting a temperature of almost 104. I can't stand it anymore. I'm dizzy, coughing, sneezing, and I can't concentrate. This is the first I've been on the computer since Sunday and it's really making me crazy sitting here cause I'm so darn light headed. If I don't get better soon I think I'm going to the hospital. I have no apetite, but trying to drink. I'm hoping my son don't get it. He has a trach, and it will be really bad if he gets sick. Please pray I get better soon!

Hi. I am a little bit late getting to your discussion but I pray that you feel better now and that your son is well also. I hate being sick. I have been very lucky so far this year.

I'm sorry to hear about your son. I have been sick for about two weeks now with a head, neck and earache. I'm not sure what it is, but it is very hard to get rid. I'm glad you haven't had to have hospital stays. That is awful and expensive on top of all of it.

Considering my son's trach, I guess we have been pretty lucky. He hasn't had to be admitted ANY this year-- and last year he was awful in and out of the hospital for weeks at a time. So, even though we have been sick, I guess it's better than last year--- which is good. I'm just glad spring is almost here!!

Slowly, but surely I'm feeling better. That virus/bug held on for a while! Even after the fever went away, I ended up with a small cold. Then my baby got sick, then my boyfriend, then I had a small cold again after that.... and then my boyfriend got it back. Then my poor son today got some stomach bug. It's crazy the germs that go around!

Everyone in my apartment seems to be sick with something at the moment. I haven't really gotten anything full on yet, but I'm starting to feel like I've got something coming on. I've been taking some vitamin C tablets just in case. Want to try and stop it or at least not make it so bad if I can help it. Just remember to keep washing your hands and hopefully it won't spread.

The bugs are continuing to go around in our house still now too. My son wound up with some kind of germ today and his stomach has been all messed up.

I agree with the others. Your fever is too high. You need to be admitted to the hospital. I hope you will go (right away) as having such a high fever too long is not good. I hope you get better soon. Take it easy.

Thanks! Once my boyfriend brought me home better medicine that night, I took it and my fever broke. I was so glad that it did, and that it didn't sky rocked back up again.

You need some help, especially if you've been taking fever reducing medicine and it's not working. It's good that you can still drink. I hope you get better soon!

I was so tempted to go to the hospital, but finally the temp broke. My boyfriend brought me home some really good medicine that night, and it did the trick.

I will pray for your temperature to return to normal and for you to be released completely from your symptoms. I will also pray God's protection over your son and for his healing. God Bless

Thank you! He did end up getting sick about 2 weeks later, but his temp only lasted one day and his doctor helped me over the phone so that he didn't have to go to the ER. HE did go to the doctor like 3 times that week so they could keep a good eye on him, but thankfully everything worked out.

Thank you! I managed to make it thru it. My whole house is passing germs all around now though. I just want it all to go away.

Dang with a fever of 104 I'd be at the hospital already. You can go into seizures and what not. You should really go and get yourself looked at before you get sicker and they can't help you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope your soon dont get sick

I ended up being sick for a few days. Two weeks later, my son and my boyfriend winded up sick. WE are all passing it all around now. My son is again sick today with some stomach flu bug or something. I just want the germs gone!
