..... what was wrong with me yesterday?
Yesterday afternoon I began to feel really cold. Almost as if I was sitting in a freezer. I put a throw around me but couldn't warm up. I dished up the dinner about an hour later and by this time I was shaking with the cold. I struggled to eat and was beginning to feel very unwell. I left the table and went straight to bed. I was wrapped up in my duvet but had that uncontrollable shivering. I was utterly freezing and had to put socks on and a warm cardigan on top of my winter nightie.
My DH made me a hot drink and then a hot lemsip. He then lay next to me in the bed to keep me warm. I woke up a couple of hours later, about 9 pm and DH said that I was burning up. I still felt cold. This morning I woke up feeling fine but a little weak.
What was that all about?
I was bitten by something a few days ago in the garden and I have big itchy lumps on my leg and neck. Could my shivering fever be related? Should I buy a few gallons of industrial strength DDT and kill every crawler in the garden and surrounding 10 square miles?
I thought I was going to die. I was writing my will and choosing coffins and hymns for the Requiem Mass. Apart from having terminal dramatic tendencies, does anyone know what was wrong with me?
