Just remember guys, if you feel the onset of a fever the WORST thing you can do is ignore it. Call in sick, stay in bed, get plenty of water in your system but keep the electrolytes up. If it persists into the day go to the doctor. Make sure you monitor your temperature, if you hit ~100 take a cold bath/shower. At 102 you should be calling the doctor, and higher than that you should be on your way to the emergency room. It always helps to have someone who can check in on you periodically too.
If you don't already you can start taking multi-vitamins now to help curb future sickness.

He was shocked that I had drove there, and asked me to please get a ride if I needed to go anywhere. Moral of the story: If you guys ever feel awful don't push it, could have been a lot worse for me.

104.....man thats hot...literally. One time my friend go soo sick his fever spiked to 105......If anyone didnt know, temps 105 and over can cause cell damage if not treated immediatly.....Anyways he went to the ER and they gave his *** an Ice bath!!!! Most painfull thing he says he'd gone through. I can only imagine what that felt like........**** your body already feels cold when you have a fever......then dunk your body in ice water.........F*** that.
Had something took me about 4 days to break the fever. My symtoms other than fever were congestion ,sore throte, and coughing. It was a tough one. I ususally don't get sick very much either, but on this turn around I have been on for 18moths and the 1000's of contractors I deal with every day I have been sick 4 times in 18 months seems like **** keeps getting passed around work etc...
