Symptoms are:
Dry, scratchy, sore, swollen throat.
Spots on face, chest. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/str.gif
Loss of apetite. (not completely)
Almost everything eaten either goes right through quickly in liquid form, or occasionally just bounces right back up. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eeew.gif
No real energy.
Fever of 102. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mpr.gif
light headed, some dizziness not thinking as sharply as usual.


Edit: Those who guessed Strep Throat were correct.
I'm now starting to go through reading this long thread now.

yikes....... that looks *BAD*. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

Have you seen a doctor? I hope you're relying on a more professional diagnosis than CPF and 'telemedicine' can give you /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I will be making a run to the doctor if available today.
If not available, I'm headed for the hospital.

I'll guess chickenpox. What do we win if we're right?

Seriously, hope it's nothing bad and get well soon! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sick.gif

right behind you. LOOK!
Re: Guess this disease, 3rd_shift is sick with a p

My guess is an allergic reaction to something. I kinda doubt Chicken pox because you didnt say spots were itchy and it is mostly upper torso.
Food allergy.

Re: Guess this disease, 3rd_shift is sick with a p

From that history,

Septic streptoccal disease, probably Group A Beta Strep.

But....could also be meningicoccal infection (usually with stiff neck though), infectious mononucleosis (you don't say if you had it as a teenager?), viral syndrome, fifth disease (usually also a childhood disease), or another viral disease. Chicken Pox usually starts on the trunk. Measles is possible, but most adults have had vaccination. Smallpox has been eradicated, doesn't look like cowpox. Big city, so Monkey Pox is possible, but I've never seen a case, so don't know what the lesions look like.

Yep, I'll stick with my original, Septic streptoccocal infection.
