question: Hi, I just woke up in a rather odd state. I went to bed and I was feeling a bit cold, but about an hour ago I woke up violently shivering like I have never done before. I had dreamed I was drowning but I wasn t afraid. I jerked when I awoke and started shivering so bad it startled my dog. I fell back to sleep after a few minutes and woke up again burning up. I got out a thermometer and I do have a fever, but something like this has never happened. Now my throat feels like it s on fire, I m burning up, and my urine is so hot it was uncomfortable to pee.
