i woke uip a couple hours ago...and i had a massive headache and i was shivering like crazy.

i take my temp, 103.2. fuck. so i curl up, and just kinda lay there.

hour later, it's 104.3. and slowly climibing. im in a tshirt and shorts, sweating, and freezing so bad i cannot explain it.

i went to stand up and i fell over. walking isnt even possible. i was drooling for a while and didn't even notice that, wtf. my mom had to say something to me about it.

normally id just tough this out....but idk. what does ATHF think? is this just the onset of the flu or something?

That is a fairly high fever, hardly a "mild" condition. Particularly because you have cold sweats, chills, weakness, etc. Doesn't sound like something I would mess around with. Do you have nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting?

Obviously, don't drive yourself as you probably aren't in any condition to do so. Sounds like a bad case of the flu, but I am not a physician.

If you're not going to the hospital, you might want to take an ice bath to get your temperature under control. 104 and up can really start to effect you. Ice bath it now.

Had the exact same symptoms last week, but I was ridiculously drunk after partying and came home passed out... woke up couple hrs later to chivers, etc. A week later I still have a runny nose and the roof of my mouth has been swollen. Not sure if it was from being out in the cold, eating something at the buffet or just the alcohol.

Any fever over 103F usually deserves a trip to a doctor. Better safe than sorry.

I like how the OP was still able to post on ATHF, even if he couldn't stand up and he was drooling.

Get well, OP.

I did something similar earlier this year as well. In the course of 5-6 hours I went from perfectly fine to a near migraine level headache with a fever which peaked at 103. I spent 2-3 hours miserable and then the symptoms begun to fade. By next morning I was fine except for a severe cough which took two weeks to go away. Get better OP.
