I've had a fever off-and-on for a week or so now. I have a stiff neck, although my chiropractor said that my neck was out of place this morning during my chiro appt, so I guess that explains it. I haven't thrown up yet, but I have had some nausea. I have an ear ache that I will get checked out this Monday, as it probably explains the fever, but then I looked up side effects of ear infections and ohh god :scared15:
So apparently, if left untreated, an earache can cause meningitis. I then looked up meningitis and I have *all of the warning signs*. The fever, the headache, the stiff neck, nausea (technically it says vomiting, but I'm saying that I have this symptom because I was very close to throwing up last night). I am soo scared that I have meningitis! I know I'll be seen by a doctor soon for my earache, but I'm scared that if I have meningitis, I'll die (?) by Monday!
That's what I get for googling, lol. I am very scared that all of this is much more than an out-of-place neck and an ear infection.
