I've name changed as I've been speaking about this to literally anyone who will listen...
I've had a fever since last Friday night... No other symptoms really (apart from low back pain initially which made me think it was possibly a kidney infection, and a cough which developed on Weds), aside from the symptoms you have with a fever - chills, aches, bit of nausea, headache etc. Paracetamol and ibuprofen have brought the fever down and I've felt 'better' until the drugs wear off and I'm feverish and feel like utter shit (like, can't get out of bed-level shit) again.
I went to OOH last Sunday because I was worried about a kidney infection. Urine sample is clear but they gave me antibiotics anyway. I saw another doctor on Weds (OOH doc told me to be seen again if the meds didn't work), who gave me a different course of antibiotics. I had a blood test on Friday and I've just seen the results on the NHS app (what a marvellous thing!) and all are fine... This is very reassuring as I was sure something sinister was going on.
Anyway I still feel absolutely rough as fuck... Decided to let the fever come out today to see how it felt/if I was better and I didn't last long as I felt so shit.
What on earth is this weird, largely symptom-less fever?? Has anyone had anything like this before? I certainly haven't...
