I Feel Icky

I do. I really feel icky. It started on Sunday around noon but I just thought my alergies to the pollen was the cause. I hung out with my friend, Jen, and her kids playing two wonderful games of Clue so I didn't think much of the achy shoulders and chest, or the thumping headache. When I got home my eyes started to burn so I decided to take some tylenol and take my temperature. 100.7 - no wonder I felt bad. I went to bed early but between sweaty tossing and turning and my 6 year old waking up every hour shaking with fear over nightmares I didn't get much sleep.

My fever wasn't around in the morning, neither was the headache, but the aches were still there. I stayed home. At noon I started to feel real icky so I took my temperature again and it was up to 100.4 - tylenol and a two hour nap helped and it didn't return until around 10pm.

I slept pretty good last night and felt pretty good this morning, minus a few aches, so I went to work. I know, I know. Schools frown upon going to school for 24 hours after a fever. I now know why. At noon I stopped by the nurse's office of the second school I was in and they took my temperature. 100 again! She sent me home. I rested at home and then went and got the kids. We ate leftover pizza and went to cub scouts. I sat most of the time cutting the nose cone shapes for the upcoming bottle rockets so it was easy going. We came home and I started to feel icky again. It is back to 100.5 again. My chest still feels a bit tight and my shoulders and ribcage ache. I'm not coughing, I don't have a stuffy nose or sinus pressure, My stomach feels fine. What could it be, then, that is making me spike a fever and feel so icky?????
