Dan Rubin's SuperfluousBanter

Oh What A Feeling

Early Fri­day evening I began expe­ri­enc­ing alter­nat­ing bouts of cold shiv­ers and sweat­ing, accom­pa­nied by mus­cle aches every­where. By Sat­ur­day morn­ing, I had devel­oped a fever of 101, and my ton­sils were inflamed, along with my lymph nodes, and I had a severe sore throat and headache (the shiv­er­ing and sweat­ing had not subsided).

I remained in that con­di­tion for the dura­tion of Sat­ur­day, and by Sun­day the only thing that had changed was my tem­per­a­ture (down to 100). There were a few less-pleasant things as well, but no need to get into those here.

This after­noon, not feel­ing any bet­ter, I vis­ited my doc­tor, and she wasn’t sure if it is the flu, or some­thing else, so she took a throat cul­ture (great quar­tet name, hmm?) and pre­scribed me 5 days worth of antibi­otics (sub­ject to change based on the results from the throat culture).

More details as they come…
