Hello everyone, thanks for your time reading and so forth. This summer has been really a downer when it comes to not being sick. First off...
Let me give some background to help anyone who would read this. Father's Day weekend I came down with something that brought me to a temp of 104 under the arm thermometer check. I went back to work probably like the Tuesday or Wednesday, can't remember at the moment of writing. Shortly thereafter...
I got another fever but I had somewhat different symptoms on July 4th weekend. I know that Friday my throat seemed to feel irritated. On Saturday my throat was sore. On Sunday I had a big swollen gland going on right of my esophagus. On Monday I got a fever of like 103.8 or so under the arm. I got thanks to my mom an updated thermometer, the kind you swipe across your head and over the arteries, temporal thermometer. Until then I was using a digital thermometer under my arm. On Tuesday I went to Doc and saw a nurse practitioner who gave me Anti-Biotics.
I wasn't getting any better with fevers up and down but by Friday I had a lower fever, about 101. I called the Doc's office again, he said to come on in ASAP. I get checked, they draw my blood, this time I might have had more noticeable symptoms in my throat/mouth, whereas first visit probably exemplified just irritated throat/red. This point I hadn't eaten barely anything, it hurt too much with the sores on my gums to chew, it hurt too much to barely even swallow water. He told me to do the best I can, stop taking the Anti-Biotics because he was sure I had Mono.
Field blood test returned negative, but blood sample was sent to lab. It returned negative on the Mono but they believed it was a virus strain of some type. I have just gotten my voice to about probably 80% this past week. I get kind of a disgusting taste that comes up from my throat/larynx area every once in awhile. I know that my full octave range is chopped for the higher octaves so most of the time I just talk real low.
When I got the temporal thermometer in the mail, we checked my temp and the kids to get a base for everyone's temp, I was 98.6 or so then. So fever gone, just recuperating from the other problems. Checked my temperature Friday and Yesterday, I have temperature of 100.2 and a bit worried that it's still present in body, most likely right, to which I understand. I am just curious if there is any insight to this or if anyone has information? I can't find anything searching the web, I get all the common issues and while my symptoms are pretty common, I am following what I think to myself to be considered a strain similar to Mono in terms of all of it's symptoms and recovery. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Matthew Heiser
