I ended up going to the Minute Clinic at CVS. What a waste. But, I did achieve my goal of having someone listen to my chest. Nothing going on there, even though I feel like it is just "off." Definitely feeling better as the day went on, but my temperature was still going up to 99 every 6-8 hours or so. Ate normally pretty much.
Woke up this morning feeling pretty good compared to yesterday, but stomach still cranky. Sticking to Zantac and Mylanta for that. Temperature was 98.9, not horrible, but not normal either. I've been taking one Tylenol a couple of times a day for that. Now I'm getting antsy about not exercising and thinking about doing some yoga at least. I suspect some of this is stress related to my son's visit, but I don't like the idea of the low grade fever.

Crankin, are you pretty certain this is just a bug and not something else? (You know your body best!)

I hope you start to feel better on your own, but if you don't, please don't wait too long to see a doctor.

Hang in there Crankin. Hope you feel better soon.

NbyNW, I have a long history of weird things that turn out to be nothing; or at least nothing that anyone can diagnose. Two years ago I had all kinds of strange medical things... nothing definitive came up. And believe me, I had every test known to mankind. I was sort of diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but now my rheumatologist is not 100% sure. Mostly everything I'm having is stuff I have had before, except the fever. I can go to the doctor feeling like I have swollen glands, an ear infection, stomach pain, and upon exam I have no swollen anything or sore throat, etc. The only things I do have are mild asthma and allergies and that osteoporosis thing.
I will go to the doctor if I'm not better by next week. The stomach thing I'm having is in the same place I've always had it. So, I'm a bit more cautious about how often I go to the doctor. There's no way I want to start on another endless round of specialists! I know I don't have H1N1, so that's a relief.

I would like to have some bongos and a large primitive drum to play in a drum circle.
