Yesterday I woke up congested, but everyone has had allergies and for some reason mine hadn't hit yet. Then yesterday afternoon I got chills and had fever, the highest it got was 100.8F (but my regular body temperature is low, more like 97.0/98). I slept most of yesterday after work.
This morning I woke up fine, but more congested, but no fever. Then about 2 pm I started getting chills again. I am dehydrated though, I've been thirsty all day (from mouth breathing) and not getting enough to drink.
Right now my fever is 99.8, but I don't feel as tired as I was yesterday.
In further tales of the missing sudafed, I just found the keys I lost two weeks ago. Still no sudafed.
askye, if you don't have any other symptoms, like sinus pressure or coughing up gunk, it's probably viral, so all you can really do is rest and drink plenty of liquids. You must get well, so you can have fun in Atlanta.
I wouldn't call the doctor. Sometimes, you can run a low fever with allergies. It's probably either that or a virus. Drink a lot of fluids. Take Ibuprofen or Tylenol and whatever other medicine you can take that you like (an antihistimine or decongestant -- if it's okay with your other meds, although they might make you more dry).

Poor Ginger. I've had a day like that today, too. No fun to feel like your brain's gone walkabout.
My brain has been on walkabout for some time. I really needed to find those keys, but at this rate, I'm going to find Jimmy Hoffa before I find those pills.
Ginger I hope you find the medicine soon!
Cindy thanks for the advice. I'm going to call it a night, eat something, take some WalBuprofin and curl up in bed with hockey. Go Sabres!
Medicine~ma, Ginger. Feel better soon.
askye, keep pushing those fluids. Since it's already gone down with more hydration, I might hold off on the NSAID unless you're really uncomfortable on the theory that my immune system should be allowed to do its stuff.
Go, Sabres! My DH has gone to a meeting and I'm sitting on the couch watching -- I'm tempted to go upstairs and put one of my jerseys on.

eta: Sean Avery to the bad boys box!
It doesn't look good for the house for rent. The realtor was avoiding us because the people who own it are waffling. They wanted renters for May 1st. wtf? Who can give a week's notice, hire a mover and just move like that?
Sorry to hear that, sj. But, yeah, those aren't the landlords you likely want.
Sean Avery to the bad boys box!
This sounds ... dirty.
I might like hockey.
