I was 'well crook' early December. Went out for a ride, first thing, didn't feel right, limped home with chronic stomach ache, and had a cup of tea. Started shaking uncontrollably, with chills, went to bed about midday. Skin was prickly and sore, couldn't stop shaking in bed, for may be 3 hours, then Mrs Pig brought me a hot Ribena, and I could feel it working its way through my body. 5 mins later warm as toast, 5 mins later was soaking wet and running with sweat with a v.high temp. I had Chills, fever, nausea,stomach ache, headache, complete exhaustion, lethargy, just slept and sweated. Woke in the night to get a towel to lay on, bed was wet. Next morning , Tues, Mrs Pig took me to a pre booked test, (she had booked at 9am , test was for 1.30pm), did the thing, back home to bed, more of the same. 6.05am Wed PING.....NHS.......NEGATIVE?
?
In all I spent almost a week in bed, and found it very difficult to walk up stairs after. Still short of breath now, find I try and avoid hills on my ride.
If it wasn't....you know....that thing, I have no idea what it was. Mrs Pig was fine. I thought swab tests were 100% accurate.
