Okay, so I earned this, truly. Amaris was babysitting her little brother, and he was sick. I was fine until I pulled a 48 hours of consciousness benge. Woke up and, what do you know? Sick

At 104, no matter how cold you feel, get into a lukewarm shower and get your temp down to 103 or less - you're flirting with brain damage if the fever lasts too long. If you start hallucinating, get thee to a hospital, if that's an option. Not that I've been through this, or anything. ;)
Hydrate and keep with the pills to bring the fever down. If your throat hurts, drink *real* milkshakes - lots of calories to feed your body and protein from the ice cream, and the cold will soothe your throat. Take care of yourself, you skinny twit. :)
Yeah, I likely should have went to the hospital, but I am without insurance right now. I probably should have went on virtue of the fact that they cannot mark my credit when I cannot pay them.
Milkshakes saved me when I had a 104.5 fever from untreated strep and a father who wouldn't take me to the ER on Xmas Day because it would be HELL there. He had a point but, STILL...
I hope it's not strep too, strep can really mindfuck it's victim, literally. I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else who's sick, ginger tea. Just steep cut ginger in boiling water for five to ten minutes, add honey to taste. Good luck bro.
flu's going around, love, have some juice to keep your vitamen C up and see a doctor if your temp goes any higher than 104. more than 30 minutes of 104.6+ can damage your grey matter.
