I Am Feeling Awful...

Hello LovingMyBabies I am so sorry to hear of your discomfort and worries. This can be very scary. I am one who tries to avoid hospital, but there comes a time when I realize that it is the best course of action. I hope that you will feel better soon. Mrs. Turner and I are sending positive thoughts your way. Peace Be With You

Hi LovingMyBabies I had something similar years ago and it was a viral infection. Should take 5-7 days if you consult the doctors and they diagnose correctly. Unfortunately, I cannot stay away from doctors now. They have me in their web and grip. you know, i have ulcerative colitis, reuhumatoid arthritis and this time they have added stones in Gall Bladder and kidney too. Have been on medications since 2000 and all this severed because of their faulty diagnosis until 2005 (or I should say - I was consulting the wrong people here). I know hospitals arent a place to be and do sincerely pray that you do not have to get to one for this illness and you do feel better soon. Prayers for a good health and quick recovery for you dear friend.

Is it random or every night you have a fever? For about 6 months on and off my husband would get completely random fevers (he'd be standing talking to you one minute and all of a sudden have a 104 fever; happened 1-2 times a week, different places & times of the day) and he developed a rash. He ended up going to an infectious disease Dr, they ran 40 different blood test. Everything came back negative. The Dr said that there are a lot of virus' that haven't been studied that there are no test for. My husband was diagnosed with fever of unknown origin & was told that within 6 months symptoms should totally disappear. Within a week of that point his fever left & haven't returned (its a been about 2 years). He does still have markings on his legs from the rash though (which was caused my red blood cells bursting due to the fever spikes). With the dizziness and headache, it sounds like you may have an ear infection (which would account for the vertigo). I would get checked out just in case.

ah yes. i do not like hospitals it will make me more sick to be honest. when i am not feeling very well i would usualy just try ro medicate at home especially if it is just he flu. Take in a lot of water and just rest in bed. In a few hoirs or in a day i would usually feel betrer.

I couldn't remember the numbers of days, but according to this site, 48 hours with a fever, you should see a doctor. http://coldflu.about.com/od/whentoseeadoctor/qt/seedoctorfever.htm I think if you are feeling that bad and it has been much more than 2 days, you may want to go to the hospital. I personally, unless I thought it was serious, would wait until Monday and see my doctor because that would be less expensive. But if you feel it can't wait, I'd say go. I did that once, wasn't feeling well starting on Friday and by Sunday, I knew I should not wait..Good thing too, my appendix was infected and I made it to the hospital before it ruptured..

I felt like that once and it was just a virus the ER found nothing else wrong with me. I was cold, I had the sweats, burning up, shaking... just a virus. All you can do is rest and the shaking is either part of the virus and or possibly having low blood sugar if you haven't eaten enough. I hope it passes quickly for you.

I hope you start feeling better soon. It is not good when you get down like that. I do not go to the hospital at all unless it is something I think could be really serious. Prayers sent your way.

Oh dear! Hope you get better soon. I was really ill last week and felt so alone. My older son is visiting his dad and I was all alone with my 5 year old with no one to help. I hate going to the hospital...I feel that I'm going to catch more infections from the hospital since the hospitals here are VERY crowded. I'm much better now though I do get bouts of cough on and off.Hope you feel better soon.

I avoid hospitals and doctor's offices both.Given a choice, I will see a doctor. I started coming down with something that one of my clients at work had, or so it seemed. He never ran a fever and he got better after about three days. I have not gotten better, and I was up, and dressed for church.After having taken something to reduce fever I still had over 100. I have been sleeping like crazy, hours and hours at a time. I still will not go see a doctor unless it gets worse on Tuesday. I really would not go to the ER because I always have gotten sick when I have gone to visit people there. Too many germs.

Apparently the weather has effects on us like that and I would believe it. The weather here is hot one day, cold the next, sunny one day, raining the next at the minute, and my headaches are getting worse and worse.. the pressure of the atmosphere apparently causes it.. have you been having strange weather?

OMG LovingMyBabies, I am so sorry you are not feeling well. but I think you should have already went to the doctor.. I am not so fond about going to the hospital but when I feel sick for days I have no problem seeing a doctor. Better safe than sorry... I will include you in my prayers tonight...Hope you feel better real soon...

Better go to a doctor...

Honestly, you should have a check up to know what you really feeling.Don't be like Me, even i'm sick i don't drink medicines or go to hospital to have a check up. I'm kinda stubborn sometimes. Hope you get well dear. Be strong.

hi lmb! the psychoartist is sorry to hear you are feeling badly and am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way! i hate hate hate to go to doctors or hospitals too, but sometimes you have to go to get the meds you need to get better...take good care of yourself, you have babies to take care of!

Well, I am sure you're feeling better now since this discussion is two week old now. But getting a fever at not only is not weird. Thats actually normal. We all feel worse at night time. And thats what makes it harder to sleep. I know when I get sick or get the flu, I run high temperatures. And thats not a good thing. You will get better, you have gotten better.

I'm sorry to hear it and think you have caught a bad cold. I would not go to hosiptal and prefer drinking mcuh hot water and some medicine if I can confirm I just catching a cold. But if I have fever for several nights, I have to go to hospital because it may case some bad result. Best wish to you to get better tomorrow morning.

The feeling is awful when see things that are not appropriate that it should be happening in this world. There are lot of scenarios that made us feel awful. In some course of action, we need to correct this by doing good deeds.
