Saturday night, I started getting a headache and my neck started hurting. Didn't think anything of it and went to bed.
Sunday, same thing. Stayed in all day and moped around the house not wanting to do anything, then I did some things I had to do that night. As soon as I got back, the fever hit
My thermometer was messed up (really weird, stayed maxed out no matter what, even put a cube of ice on it and it wouldn't go down), so I didn't get a number, but I wouldn't doubt if it was 105º or more. Drank some juice and went to bed.Slept worse than I'd ever slept in my life, that fever was f'ing with my head. I woke up every hour and I had to keep convincing myself that I was not wanted nationwide by the FBI. I'm not kidding. I would drink more fluid to try and keep the fever under control, and somehow managed to go to bed... for another hour.
7am Monday morning rolls around, and I call my boss and tell him I've got a high fever and can't make it into work. My boss is the coolest guy ever, so he wasn't upset, he just wanted me to feel better.
I do little else than sleep up until about 1pm, then I decided to inform my family. They said to make a doctor's appointment, which I did, and trudge down to the local drugstore and get some advice for what to do until then, as I still had a headache, still had a sore neck, and had a fluctuating fever. Pharmacist said to take one Advil and one Tylenol together for the pain, and of course drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest for the fever.
So I get that stuff, get a new thermometer while I'm at it, and get back home. Now I'm having all that, plus a strange feeling similar to indigestion. It was making it a little painful to fully inhale.
Fast-forward a couple hours. My fever is sitting right around 100º and not moving, but my head is still hurting worse, that indigestion feeling is getting worse, making it a little harder to breathe, and my extremities are starting to get cold. Call the family back up, and they suggest that I cover my chest in VapoRub and take an Ex-Lax before I go to bed. Within about 15 minutes of putting the VapoRub on, I start having serious breathing issues. It hurt to inhale, it hurt to exhale. And I was starting to get a little nauseous too.
My girlfriend called when she got out of class, and I told her what was going on. She insisted that she was coming over and not leaving, and if she had to, take me to the hospital. I told her I didn't want her to catch whatever it was that I had. But she's a Taurus, almost as stubborn as me, the Aries
Not 5 minutes after getting off the phone with her, my nausea gets the best of me, and I run to the bathroom and puke. Surprisingly, I feel somewhat better afterwards, and it's not as difficult to breathe. My girlfriend shows up, and refuses to leave, even though I tell her that I'm grossly sick and also contagious. God I'm lucky!
Anyway, I take the Ex-Lax about 10pm, and since I was sleeping all day, I wasn't reall sleepy. So we watched a movie together, and then went to bed.
4:30am, the Ex-Lax kicks in. I don't need to go into detail about that
. I did feel a lot better again after that though.I wake up at 7am, call my boss and tell him I had a doctor's appointment and would let him know what happened and if we're lucky, I can come in for a half-day of work.
10:45, I get to the doctor's office for my appointment, and at 11:45
I get in to see the doctor. I tell him the whole shebang, and as he pieces it all together, he sticks a thermometer in my mouth. Temperature was 101º 
. I didn't FEEL like I had a fever, but apparently I did. So he basically just concludes that I had some sort of "viral infection," that the best course of action was for me to stay home, rest, and drink lots of fluids, and that I wouldn't need any antibiotics or anything. But I was to let him know if any of the other symptoms came back.So, here I am, sitting here in front of the computer, mostly rested, with a stomach full of fruit juice.
Fever was 100.7º last I checked, and my head still hurts, just like it did Saturday night, with no complete relief 
Cliff notes: Got a headache Saturday night, turned into a fever Sunday night, turned into breathing problems and violent oral and anal expulsion Monday night, and resting today and however much longer until my fever goes down.
What also sucks is that I bought a transmission for the 79, and it came in to my dealership Monday... with instructions from my boss to get it out of the warehouse ASAP
If you read this entire thing, you're either a saint, or just as bored as I am
. The first real meal I've had in almost a week!
