So I gave in and ended up going to the doctors on friday because my fever spiked up again. He took my temp in his office and it was 103.9. Started me on medication right then then he sent me over to the hospital to have some blood work done and blood cultures to make sure nothing is wrong because I have a heart condition. After I did all that I went to the pharmacy and picked up my antibiotic. Then came home and went back to sleep. I didn't hear from the doctor again until Saturday morning. He told me the blood work showed no major problems that I just had a really bad viral infection. He asked how I was doing I told him how I was vomiting and my fevers were still high. He said if not any better then go to the emergency room. So far today my temp is 98.7 I hope it stays that way. I'm not 100% better yet. I also noticed going to the bathroom since yesterday that my urine is dark in color I'm wondering if that's from being dehydrated and from antibiotic?? If it's still like that in a few days I will definitely be letting my doctor know. I have no pain when urinating just noticed the change in color. I've never felt so sick like this before though, I had to miss out on some fun things this weekend and I have been sick since last wed with fevers of 102. I hope it ends soon I don't like this feeling. I feel a bit dizzy today and have a pounding headache. I had to get someone to sub for me at bowling tonight because there is no way I would've been able to do it. So I'm just going to rest today like I been doing, I never get out of bed but it's getting old. And just watch a ton of movies. I hope you guys never get this sickness it is not fun at all.

It's most likely dehydration, and even the medication. You should increase your fluids, even chicken broth.

I been drinking water, gingerale, sprite that's all that will settle w my stomach. I can eat toast and i've tried chicken noodle soup but it upsets my stomach.

But having this for so long, would be more of a worry. I know another coworker had these issues as well. I should ask her how it's going, except her and I have the same doctor who is an idiot. At least your doctor is trying to work with you.

So sorry to hear this! Even when I get a regular flu it is not fun at all, I feel weak all over, feverish, and no appetite. And yours sounds a lot worse than the usual flu! Hope you recover soon.
