question: One week ago last Friday, it was a normal day and I stopped for a hamburger on the way home. At about 9:30pm, I feel off to sleep. Sometime later, I awoke to severe pain throughout the back side of my body from my head to my ankles, my lower legs were hurting through and through, even my butt was in pain. I felt hot, sweaty, and I was confused as to why it was still dark and not daylight. I obviously had no sense of time, and I don t remember much after that other than I could not move I hurt so bad, and I was unable to get my phone to call for help. I obviously feel back to sleep only to awaken to the dark again, still in pain, now I am shaking profusely, my eyes can not focus and are twitching from side to side, and again not able to move. The next wake-up time, it was finally daylight, I was groggy, my eyes continued to move back and forth as before, not being able to focus, it was like my eyes were completely out of control, very tired, no energy, dehydrated, and barely moving. I do believe I had a fever. Later that morning, I was able to scoot myself up enough to reach my phone and call my daughter. She came over right away, but I was unable to get out of bed. I waited until Sunday to go to the ER. The only thing they could tell me was, my potassium was a little low, all other blood work seemed fine, I had a fever of 103.3, vomiting, diarrhea. Diagnosed with a viral infection and sent home. Since then, I have lost 12 lbs from basically not eating, I have kept as much Gatorade down as I can possibly take, and I have not felt right since. It has now been 10 days since the incident and I am still not up to par. Still barely eating, but keeping up with the fluids. I have had diarreah up until last Saturday when it subsided. I do have abdominal cramping at times, but I contributed that to nothing in the bowel. I am a diabetic, I have thyroid disease (hypo), gerd, and gastroparisis. Any clues? Thanks! Gail Southard
