Why do they call it a fever, I feel really cold and want to pile on a million blankets so it would seem if I had a fever I would be HOT not COLD??

My son is having his 7th day of high fever of 104.. No other symptoms. he is in the hospital for observations, the doctors think it is viral due to all tests coming back negative. Can this just be a virus? it is like clock work, once the motrin wears off in 4-6 hours, his fever returns. all the doctors(infectious disease, pediatrician and immunologist) thinks he has a virus and might also be immune deficient. that is why it is taking very long to get rid of this virus. Has anyone had anything similar? My wife and I are lost and don't know if the doctors are right. they say after 10th day of fever, then they will change game plan to MRI, cat scan, x-rays etc...hope someone can shed some light. Thanks.

He and his friend went to dinner, and got sick at the same time. The friend went to the hospital and they told him it was a contagious form of food poisoning.

They were right, because I got sick too. I've never heard of this. Have you? What kind of bacteria would that be? Any information is appreciated.

Okay... so this is a retrovirus (emphasis on the 'virus'). It is not a living thing unless it has a host. Why are we giving it so much time to evolve? I lived in Africa when I was little, I didn't even know that HIV/AIDS was such an epidemic until I came back.

We fought malaria.
We fought the Bubonic plague
We fought tuberculosis
We are maintaning SARS compared to AIDS.

Have we found our equal? Are we wasting our time giving this disease time to mature? Is HIV/AIDS protecting its own existence? Where is it from anyways? Is it actually man-made (in order to make money by creating a drug for it)? Is this an experiment gone bad?

Why is it so much more prevalent in third world countries. Third world countries I used to think had strict rules on women having sex with someone other than their husband. How is this virus spreading so fast?

Stuck in the middle of nowhere with dysentery!

Bitten by a rabid bobcat with plague fleas?

Your credit card with American Express will bail you out, but suppose it doesn't?

The Soviet Army orders you in to the Cherbonyl Death Zone. Number 632 is collateral damage (i.e dead within the time they know about).

Im 21 years old college student, never had Chicken Pox before. Couple days ago, I had pimples in my neck, the morning after it covered all over my chest. I went to the doctor this morning, he said I have a chickenpox. He gave me perscriptions for that but the problem is, It is getting very itchy now, How should I handle that. Another thing is, I have sore throat, it hurts when I swell. I dont feel like eating anything which makes my body feels really weak. What should I eat?
