Does it bother you to stand and hold your hand over your head, what about turning your head side to side, tilting it right and left, shrugging your shoulders?
I had a campylobacter, I guess they call it helicobacter now, food poisoning in college and I probably should have been in the hospital for at least a few days, and that was as a strapping young man in my twenties, a week for gastroenteritis is not really that unusual.
I got sick on Easter. Had a runny nose on Saturday, fever Sunday morning. 102, so the wife goes all "nurse" on me, couple asprin, repeat temp in an hour, 102.8. She wants me to go to the hospital, but I just drank plenty of fluids and had a fever for a few days. Drank enough gatorade and water so never stopped peeing, so not
toodehydrated. Had to put the pillow on the drying rack out back when the fever broke, soaking wet. Missed work from being sick for the first time in my life.
First time I had a fever since I was a little kid in the '70s. Talked to a couple of the smart, real doctors at the hospital and they tell me it is going around, I will cough for a few weeks after the fever. Seems like if you know I am going to cough for a few weeks, you ought to be able to tell me what it is and what to do, "some virus, get cough drops" they say. Viruses are some scheisse man, electron micrograph will make you think they are from outer space or something. Not really alive unless they are causing an infection
