For the last week I have been suffering from one of the most severe fevers I have ever experienced. I have been rolling around my bed poring sweat and alternately shivering violently from cold or burning up from heat. My days have been filled with the soft pounding of my feet and fists against the walls giving rhythm to my suffering.
I have wanted to post as I usually do on Steemit but my brain was not functioning correctly and the screen was painful to my eyes.
Experiencing such a high fever has created hallucinations, triggered memories and given my mind the opportunity to create connections in an altered state which do not occur in a normal mental state. Although the fever has been horrendous it has shown me some interesting things.
I already have several posts to write from my altered state experiences.
Trying to work out what was wrong with me it seemed that there were several possibilities. One of them is Dengue Fever which I have been researching due to the dangerous vaccine administered in the Philippines. However researching Dengue Fever while thinking that I may have it has given me greater insights into the injustice of the deaths claimed to have been caused by the Dengvaxia vaccine.
Only a blood test will confirm if I have Dengue or not. I have not been to the hospital yet because as usual I just lie in bed and suffer through illness. However there was one day where I felt I might have to take a taxi to hospital before I became too weak to look after myself.
Although I was not able to post my mind was as usual always active. Extremely high fevers created altered states of mind and hallucinations for me. Although highly unpleasant I was able to observe my mind operating in fascinating new ways because of these altered mental states.
I suspect you will enjoy some of the posts I will be making over the next week or so!
Please go away fever!

That sucks. I wish you speedy healing. I had a friend who contracted dengue, she said she was never quite the same afterwards. Also, her bones hurt. Don't know much about it really, but maybe it isn't dengue?
Edit-I know from personal experience that saunas do not help with fevers.

Brilliant! Saunas for Fevers! Laughter is always the best medicine! 😉
I'm on the mend but I think I will go for a blood test just to see what it has been. I've had all the symptoms for Dengue except there has been no bleeding in the mouth.
I have found out some interesting things about Dengue which have made me scratch my head. After a third of my life in Asia I have never had a mosquito born illness. Fortunately mosquitos have never really liked the taste of my blood so I don't get bitten much!
Thanks for the well wishes mate! 😉

Oh crikey, I hope you're ok. A week sounds like a long time to have a high fever.

Thank you very much for your well wishes! 😘 I think I'm OK now... I'm not 100% yet but I'm on the mend. I have quite a strong constitution.
Yes these illnesses can take a while to recover from. Dengue fever seems to be able to last 5-6 daze initially. I just endured 5 days of extreme fever where my temperature was so high I was hallucinating. Wild! 😉
