Is There A Doctor In The House?
Nov. 19th, 2005 06:04 pmTechnically, I'm one. However, I'm the not-particularly-useful PhD sort rather than the can-actually-help-people MD sort. Pity.
I spiked a fever this morning. Despite being full of tylenol and codeine at the moment, I'm still at 102F. Which hurts like a sonofabitch - every time I get a fever, every joint in my body feels like it's on fire. I have no other symptoms at all - just a fever. This happened a few years ago and I wound up running a low-grade fever of about 100C for a year.
Yes, a year. Who runs a frickin' fever for a year?!? Well, besides me, of course.
I had every test known to mankind and they found nothing except an elevated RBC sedimentation rate, which is diagnostic of nothing.
Thank God I haven't packed my DVD box sets yet. I'm going to go and have a marathon session of Six Feet Under and hope it doesn't become prophetic. :-/
