I've had a rough weekend. I felt terrible on Saturday. Slept most of the day. I managed to walk down the hill to get the mail. That was about the extent of my activity for the day. I had a headache the entire day on top of the fatigue and dizziness. I also went the entire day without caffeine.
About 1:30 in the morning I woke up not feeling well at all, which is unusual for me. I normally sleep very well. I felt somewhat nauseous and almost feverish. The inside of my head hurt feeling like it was buzzing. I suddenly broke out in a horrible sweat. My entire body hurt as if it were on fire. I was cold and hot at the same time. I seriously got very scared. It felt as if my consciousness was starting to fade. I laid on the cold floor praying and willing the pain to go away. At first I wanted to call out to Joni but didn't want to scare her. After several minutes I felt myself returning back to normal. I stood and was soaked in sweat and was shivering.
Joni was out in the Living Room watching TV. I walked about and just stood there, still feeling a little out of it. She looked up at me and said, "we are going to the hospital." She said I was completely white. We argued back and forth for a while about going to the hospital. Even though I was scared I knew I was getting better and the drama of rushing to the hospital would just set me off again. Eventually we both settled down enough to go back to bed. Joni watched me for a while making sure I was okay.
Today I felt pretty good overall. Bad headache still and, of course, dizzy. But feeling much better than yesterday.
So, I'm not sure what's going to happen tomorrow. But I need some answers!

Geez Darrin, I'm concerned, too! Keep us posted on what you find out. This really sounds miserable.
Joni is braver than me -if you were mine, you'd have been in the ambulance!
