Help! can anyone help me explain this??

Postby mar » Wed Mar 08, 2006 5:13 am

A couple days ago, I purged some food I ate (I am not a frequent purger) and shortly afterwards my throat started hurting pretty badly. It was late evening, so I went to sleep and woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever. My heart rate was really high, I felt weak, dizzy and hot. I took a cool shower to reduce the fever and started shaking like crazy, but the fever returned. The next day, my temperature was not as high (although abnormal), my throat still hurt and I had a horrible headache. My mom remarked that my glands looked swollen (you can all figure what I was thinking). Right now, i don't have any fever, but I still find it hard to swallow and I am weak. My question is: Is this some random virus that happened to coincide with my purge or is this the CAUSE of the induced vomiting? did I damage something? has this happened to any of you? Please tell me anything you know.

Thx

I get the painful throat and swollen glans... I guess I do also get sick fairly easily. I just put it down to a poor immune system, but for all I know they are connected. The best advice I can give you it to se a doctor and be totally honest with them. Don't forget to be honest about what could be behind the disorder. Never hide things coz u think that a doctor will judge you, it's their job not to.

Good luck :D
