Question: On Friday the 8th of December I began feeling run-down in the afternoon. I went home and went to bed around 8:00 pm. I woke up Saturday morning feeling quite ill. Fever, headache, stiff neck, chills, body aches (all over) extreme fatigue, it even hurt to touch my hair. I also had very little appetite. I literally stayed in bed this way until Wednesday morning. I had to go to work because I am only in my 2nd month of a new job. Each day at work was extrememly difficult. I went home on Friday night and went straight to bed. I slept from 7:30 pm until 10:30 pm Saturday! throughout the day my temperature got up to 102.4. I stayed in bed until Monday morning. I was still feeling very badly on Monday and Tuesday so I went to see the doctor on Wednesday. She suspected that I had viral meningitis and sent me home with a note to stay out of work until Wednesday, December 27th. She said to get as much rest as possible and drink lots of fluids. It has now been 1 week and I am still feeling pretty much the same. One minute I am sweating and freezing at the same time. My right ear feels like it is going to start aching and I have a swollen gland on that side as well. Friday (2 days from now) will be 3 weeks that I have been this sick. I have never been this sick before or for this length of time. Can someone help me?
