I was feeling perfectly healthy and normal Friday morning. Went to work at 1, and by 2, I was well on my way to one of the worst fevers of my life. By 5, I'm lucky I was able to walk myself home early in my delerium, shakes and double vision. I was in bed as soon as I got home, taking in lots of tea, and fitfullly sleeping.
Fever broke later that night, and the next morning I felt 85% better. Just residual exhaustion, headache, and somewhat of a sore throat. It was the most intense, and most whirlwind illness I've ever had (I don't get sick often). Now Monday, and I'm still feeling a bit of residual weakness, but mostly okay, I'd say running at 90%.
EXCEPT FOR a spread of what seem to be after effects of whatever possessed me for such a short time so intensely. My gums are sore and bleeding when I brush. I'm getting tiny, itchy bumps on my fingers and palms, and on my face. My skin is dry and getting a bit peely, especially on my face, lips, hands and scalp.
But WORST of all is a case of vaginal thrush. I had it before I got sick actually, but it was manageable. Now, it's ABSOLUTELY INTOLERABLE, and seems to have morphed into a whole new, painful, itchy, peely, sorey, red spotted mess that I've never seen before. Seems there's much more than candida overgrowth this time.
What's going on, and how can I fix it without going to a gp (not even really an option as I do not have health insurance!)?
