Tell us your remedies!
No, no, hon. Don't freak out. You're just fine. You wouldn't be feeling as well as you are and sitting up typing entries on a cannabis forum if you weren't. Trust me. I wasn't meaning to make you doubt yourself of your mom's judgement. Sounds like she did precisely the right things. Moms are good like that when it comes to treating their kids.
I was just meaning to explain that a fever below 105 can be dangerous, too. You know what the bottom-line reason was that our fire department's policy was to transport at 103 or higher? Liability, basically. If we made the choice not to take people in when their fevers reached that level, we ran the risk of being liable if they did end up having lasting damage or dying of a serious infection later. When fevers have reached the 103 point, often they're not through climbing, so most emergency medical services take a better-safe-than-sorry approach. They're especially careful about elderly people, who can develop serious pneumonias very quickly, and teenagers and college students, who are particularly susceptible to meningiococcemia, a deadly blood infection that results from the same bacteria that causes meningitis.
Again, I don't believe you had any sort of deadly infection like meningitis or meningiococcemia. I think you probably had a fast-acting virus of some kind, which, fortunately, you shook very quickly. Worry no more. You're clearly on the mend. Be sure and keep drinking lots of fluids to rehydrate yourself![SIZE=\"4\"]\"That best portion of a good man\'s life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.\"[/SIZE]
