I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

I spent most of the day yesterday in the ER because I had been running a high grade fever (99.8+) for three (now four days). I couldn’t take it anymore. I was in soooo much pain. I literally felt aches on each individual strand of hair on top of my head.

So, I get to the ER, and I quickly grab a mask (I happen to work at said hospital) because I’m still running fever. They do their intake, swab me for flu, and strep and put me in a room.

Well, they draw my blood, and they test me for mycoplasma as well, CBC, CMP etc.

The nurse practitioner comes in and says I have FLU B!! I am in shock because I thought I just had mycoplasma. She told me there is no point in taking tamiflu because I’m already three days into having the flu but to rotate Motrin and Tylenol every two hours.

As it turns out, I have the flu +++ mycoplasma.

I feel like death. I don’t wish this on anyone.

😭😭😭

Also, I did have my flu shot this year as well.
