When I was 16 years old I developed a fever that every 2 hours would rise as high as 105 to 106 would break and I would convulse and sweat drops as big as a nickles then be fine 2 hours all over again. Parents took me to Doctor seen what was happening as it went up right there I told him I worked at Worlds of Fun and that triggered a look in his eye of concern. St Lukes was right there and he had me admitted. They put me in quarantine where I was for two days being poked and prodded by specialists at all times in a day. They couldn't figure it out and were worried because stuff at park came from Asian countries like Taiwan. After 2 days I was out of quarantine and they suspected Tick fever but couldn't find a tick or even a splotch where one had been. Tylenol was new then and not yet over the counter it was breaking the 106 fever and after eight days I was released. They send lab work to Atlanta what is now known as the CDC but that would 6 weeks to get back results Doc said Id be over it by then. Parents needed a answer so insurance would cover all the specialists so he wrote it up as Colorado Tick bite fever parents said they covered all. Later at about 6 weeks results came back positive rocky mountain spotted fever. I was the first in 15 years in Missouri diagnosed with this by year end 3 people got total. Doc said I was close to being put in ice to break a fever and if it went above 106 ice bath. He told me any fever that persists for over a week at 102 needs to be closely monitored some of that has change I guess. Good luck to you those fevers take it out of you PS: They actually had a medicine that would have got me healthy faster but without knowing for sure it could have been fatal if it was some other things that was a possibility if I remember like Typhoid. So I fought it off and have a natural immunity and then Lyme disease came along. ![]() Last edited by srvy; 04-10-2020 at 01:43 PM.. |

Damn, that sucks. This thing is devastating when it gets into nursing homes.
