FINAL UPDATE ON LAST PAGE: any doctors here? nurses? i need serious help please read (long)

It started last THURSDAY...
9:30am MAJOR stomach ache

12:00pm I ate a litte bit and stomach ache gone but I have the shakes Im cold, shivering and feels like I got a fever

Fever last ALL night and runs between 101 and 103. still have the shakes then sweating, then cold, then hot and BODY ACHES, SEVER BODY ACHES ALL OVER, TINGLING AND NUMBNESS and a HEADACHE all over my head but concentrated at the base of my skull.

FRIDAY
9:00am im at my regular physcian... I tell her all my symptoms, she can physically see them anyway and my temp. is at 102, (Fever now for almost 24 hours.) she presses on my stomach and I scream so bad, my stomach is so tender i cant stand anyone to touch it. she says she doesnt have a sono machine and she tinks its appendicitis so she has to call 911 for me

11:00 am im in the ER... take blood and urine tests... and i have a CAT SCAN done... results come back normal, its not the appendix.

12:00 im in sever pain from the shakes and the body aches, numbness and tingling... they give me a morphine drip and I pass out asleep but my fever spikes to 104! they bring it down with tylenol and send me home saying its probably just a VIRAL INFECTION (stomach virus (?)) to drink lots of water and take tylenol or motrin every 6 hours and dont come back unless it gets worse by monday.

the rest of friday, after the ER, I have no more tingling or numbness but my lower back feels like its going to crack and my stomach hurts so bad but still have a really bad headache at the base of my skull and a fever that goes up and down between 99 and 102.

SATURDAY
All day I had that severe headache and lower back pain and stomach ache... I cant even lay down on my back or sides...fever high and low all day

SUNDAY
headache still there im screaming from the back and stomach pain... I HAVE A FOLLOW UP APPT. WITH REG. PHYSCIAN ON MONDAY

I couldnt even sit long enough to write this becasue my back hurts... im in severe pain... if you think its something else based on this post, or somehting I should bring up to the doctor please let me know... is this really a stomach virus? its been 4 days now,...please write back

I'm not a doctor or nurse, but maybe you should go back to the ER if you are in that much pain!
I'm sorry u r so sick!

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this pain physically & emotionally. I would recommend going to a hospital to have an x-ray done as well as blood test just to be on the safe side. Especially with the swine flu going on, your symptons do not sound like a typical stomach virus. I had it before and it def doesn't last for 4 days. In your medical state, it sounds more severe being that you are in much physical pain. The symptons you described matches to a flu more than anything. Def get it checked out to see whether it might be possible case of a swine flu. Not to put you in a panic mode but it's better to be safe than sorry. I wish a safe and fast recovery to your health!

i know a UTI left untreated can cause the stomach tenderness, back pain, and high fever. is this a possibility?

any neck stiffness?

Go to a different ER. i don't want to scare you but it sounds like it could be something like meningitis. or with what is going on swine flu. it could also be a possible etopic pregnancy. so many things. you need more tests. a high grade fever that last that long means something is not right.

DEF go back to the ER. If possible, another ER. Because that is just not right.

Feel better soon.

Definitely go back to the er. Did they check your gall bladder? My friend had symptoms similar to yours and it was because her gall bladder was actually poisoning her body.

ETA: I hope you feel better

UPDATE:

today (SUNDAY-DAY4) the fever continued and was average of 101... I continued to do what the ER doctor told me, I took tylenol every 6 hours... but in the past 4 hours the fever is NORMAL...
the headache in the back of my skull is still there though...

I have a follow-up appt. tomorrow with my regular physician... hopefully whatever it is is gone by then or she can give me some clear answers...
by the way IM DEFINATELY bringing up the meningitis thing to her because I have almost all the symptoms they said online.

thanks ladies for all your responses, I really do appreciate it.

Are you going (bm) normally? It could blocked intestines that the scan didnt pick up (or partially blocked). Or a cyst. My cousin had a cyst on her ovary that they thought was apendix. They almost opperated in her but at the last minute decided to check for a cyst first.

I hope you feel better soon. Keep us posted.

oh wow! This is going on for so long. I hope you get better real soon. I would have suggested that you go back on day 3! I have never had a fever past 2 days, so I really have no idea if this is normal.
