I Am 34 Years Old. 48 Hours Ago At 9:00
I am 34 years old. 48 hours ago at 9:00 pm on Friday, I got up off the couch and broke into the worst case of the chills that I have ever had. These chills lasted for about 10-15 minutes, before stopping. I took my temperature and had a fever of 100.2. 18 hours ago, I woke in the night with chills once again. My temp was again 100.3. About 2 hours ago, I again developed chills and had a temp around 100.3 I have had a mild headache for 3 days and some muscle soreness at the base of my head/neck, but nothing too bad. Thoughts??
