    You should already be at a docs or with that temp the ER. No kidding around. You're at the point your brains and other vitals start shutting down

    Yea. You need to get to the doc. 104f starts killing brain cells.

    I didn't know that bit about 104* temperatures. Get better soon, Bunny! I hope the docs are able to get your fever down quickly.

    I don't think I've had a fever that high. When I get the flu, I crawl in bed and pile on every blanket I can reach and sweat it out.

    Don't play with a temp that high(103.7), you may even want to have somebody drive you in case you pass out..... It can be THAT bad, depending on several factors. We all want to play the tough guy but it can get real serious real fast.
    My life working is only preparation for my life as a hermit.

    You need this and you need it now.
