Okay, so tell me what the fuck is up with this...
Fine all day yesterday up until about 4pm. Then my side gets sore. Right side, abdomen, just below the bottom-most rib. At first I'm thinking kidney or appendix, but it was just a dull ache for the most part, particularly if I stretched the side or pushed on it a bit.
It gradually got worse over the course of the evening, also including some discomfort down below my stomach. I was functional though, didn't have any problems taking the dogs for a walk and such. Finally, around bed time I got the chills, and they got progressively worse for about an hour (I was fully clothed, under a nice thick comforter, shivering uncontrollably and feeling somewhat nauseous). After about 45 minutes of that, I assume I spiked a fever because the chills stopped and I was toasty-roasty (basically I could feel that I was getting a fever of some sort). Not long after that I managed to doze off.
A couple hours later I woke basically soaked in sweat, though I was feeling a bit better/less uncomfortable. Removed a few layers of clothes, and went back to sleep. Woke up this morning feeling reasonably okay, though my side is still a little sore, but not nearly achy as it was yesterday.
Basically, to sum up: Sudden onset of a "dull ache" in my right side, accompanied by slight nausea and distention in my mid-gut. Later, sudden onset of severe chills/shivering, shortly followed by an apparent spike in fever. After sleeping it off, dull but very bearable ache in side remains and I feel "generally" fine today. All total, about ~6 hours of "illness".
wtf?
