TheSternMystic Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Ok, so, here's the story of my wonderful weekend that I decided I'd recount. So, Saturday, I felt like crap. So I had a nap. I wake up about 8:00pm, very hot and sweaty, after just sleeping, I get out of bed, and right off the bat, I was dizzy, and I fall flat on my face. I get up, stumble around a bit, still dizzy, then I go talk to my parents. They take my temperature, 40.2*C! That like, 104/105*F? And my head hurt (Probably from falling down) and my neck was stiff. So, I take some Tylenol. Hour later, my temperature is still in the 40's. So, they decide just to be safe, they'd take me to the Hospital. We sign in, and in about 2 minutes, I'm into an Isolation room. About 6 doctors come in and feel me up. That was expected. My heartbeat was like, 120-130bpm lying down half asleep, so they figure, lets take an EKG, see if this kid's heart is fine. Nope, heart's perfect. Then, they take some blood samples. Everything checks out fine there. But my painfully stiff neck and insane headache was still a bother to them. So, what do they do? They take a spinal tap. Ok, so, they take a really, really, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY big needle, and stab it about halfway down my back, into my spine. Didn't even use a topical anestetic. Just right on, stab my spine. And of course, the spinal column is bone and really thick cartilage. So they gotta REALLY jab it in. And what is the spine? Pure nervous tissue. Worst pain ever. My entire body went numb, and I couldn't think of anything. Then the pain in my spine slowly spread to EVERY PART of my body. About an hour later, they tell me it's just the flu, and kick me out the door. I was like, what the heck!?!!??!?!!?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze_Badger Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 (edited) Sorry to hear that m8. Hope you get better soon. And the flu can probably make you temporarily sterile by killing about 30,000,000 of your future possible children.
