I woke up friday morning with a bit of a wheezy chest, went to work, took my temp, which was normal, and thought nothing of it. I then started to feel a bit achy, so I took co codamol, which was fine. At about 6 I took my temp again, it was 38.2, so I got sent home. I'm so glad they sent me home because by half 8 my temp was 39.3 and I had full on rigors and felt as if I was having an out of body experience. I got the ambulance transport service to take me to the walk in centre at 1 in the morning, who gave me an inhaler (thankfully!) and said it's viral. I'd been taking everything I could to help with the temp, but it didn't fall below 38.5 all weekend, regularly peaking at 39.3 and have regular episodes of vagueness and deleriousness.
Anyhoo, temp is now a bit closer to normal, just left with a nasty chest, but have lost half a stone, so I guess there's always a silver lining.
And is night nurse always so bizzare? I dreamt that nick from nick and anne diamond on itv breakfast tv fame, was constantly being shot in the head by zombies ?
