Sickness as though struck by lightning. Instant and uncompromising

I got sick... very sick... So sick that my wife was ready to take me to hospital at 2am in the morning!

I had a fever, over 40C once, we brought it down and then it happened again.

Wednesday night I was feeling a little fuzzy and that evening I did not have a good time. Migraine. Fever. Chills. Body Aches. Dizziness. Nausea.

I then went to work, because we had a project starting up that I am involved with. I still posted on Wednesday night but Thursday morning I did not feel like sitting before my PC.

I ended up staying longer than I intended at work, big mistake. I got the chills at work and put my AC on full heating but it did nothing to heat me up, meanwhile the ladies in the office were being cooked out.

I only left at 2pm and got into a boiling hot car that was way hotter than the office. I slept a bit, without driving home.

I then drove home and parked the car and slept some more.

I went inside later, @clairemobey was surprised that I have not come inside. I was going after the heat. Probably a fake response, because i was probably having a fever.

I then went inside and slept. Woke up and had a bath. Fell asleep running the bath and flooded the bathroom!

I then went to sleep and had the worst night I have had in living memory. Usually traumatic experiences recede a bit. But I don't remember ever being so horrendously ill before.

One moment hot, with a blasting fever. The next moment feeling like I am freezing and shivering, shaking the whole bed. We too my medication, took my blood pressure and temperature... high fever. Over 40C

Claire threatened to take me to hospital. I was worried about the cost, since my medical aid savings are depleated. She was worried about me dying.

This... was not a pleasant experience...

I am not 100% better yet... but I had to come down and eat something and take more meds. I shall likely go back to sleep soon...

Fingers crossed that I get better by Monday.

Sorry to hear that you are sick, Zack... I had a similar thing in the last 7 days... After a week, I finally got out of it...

Get well soon!

I really hope that it does not take a whole week.

I cannot afford to take more sick leave because I cannot afford a doctor's consultation because my medical aid is depleted so it is quite a catch 22!

You will soon be fine sir.

Thank you.

In this life, various things can happen. I hope you are now healthy again.

Thank you. I am not in the clear yet but hopefully last night was the worst of it!

Oh, Zak! How awful. I hope whatever it is goes away quickly. Sending healing energy your way. 🤗

Thank you so much! I just pray that tonight is better than last night! If that can at least improve then I would be happy that I am on the road to recovery!

Great to see your post in the Ecency Community ♥️

Thank you so much! I find this very encouraging to do what I can on Hive and keep growing! 💪💪💪

Get well soon!

Sorry to read this, I hope you feel better soon and recover quickly. The high fever is dangerous, if it persists please call the doctor. A hug.

Thank you so much. I am sure that Claire will keep an eagle eye on me!

Feel well soon!

Thank you!

I had a match tomorrow which I had to cancel. There is no way I am going to be well enough to go out in public so soon...

Get well soon ! I know it's difficult with a busy job and a house full of children and cats, but try to take it easy until you feel human again 😀
