    I'd hate the thought of THAT being necrotized fasciitistically.

    Nothing like fasciitistically necrotized babies.

    Nice try, but the comma was there.

    Dr. Fournier described necrotizing fasciitis in five patients in the late 1800s, so he gets his name on the disease, Fournier's gangrene...eventhough it was described in the medical literature more than 100 years earlier.

    So what did the Doctor actually say? If you are having a fever is means that a foreign material (virus or bacteria) is inside your body and it is fighting with it. Maybe you have eaten something your stomach did not find good?

    The giveaway was that my toddler was sick and threw up on me. Mr. Lugs is now sick. When you have small children, 99% of the time, it's a virus.

    See Doc Talk's posts up there? He is an actual doctor (a damn good one, too) and actually advised not to go into the doctor's office because you end up spreading the bug. I was going to call the nurse practitioner when it all just disappeared.

    Viruses.. They're alive and trying to survive just like the rest of us.

    I'm sure it was a bug, but with your pee all screwed up is there any chance it was a bladder infection? Urinary/bladder/kidney infections are the worst.

    Anyway, glad you're better. My sure-fire diet with the flu is ginger ale with peanut butter on saltines or toast. Hope it helps if it happens to you in the future.
