Ugh.

I'm ill. It started with sharp pains in my stomach on Friday night when I was at the High Noon Saloon for the Dr. Dog concert. The biting stomach pains--so painful I double over every time one hits--have persisted to the present. They last for about five seconds each, usually two or three in a row, and hit about every 30 minutes. For the last 48

That does not sound fun at all.

Nothing like that going around here, but you guys seem to get the same bugs we get on the East Coast a few weeks earlier. They must travel west to east.

Is it just in the right side by chance?

Seriously, appendicitis isn't fun. Hope you feel better =/

My brother had appendicitis a number of years ago, and on Saturday he asked me a bunch of questions about where the pain was and how it felt, etc. I'm pretty certain I don't have anything serious like that. Still have the fever today, but the stomach pain is less frequent. Could be because I started the pills I was prescribed, or it could be because the virus is leaving my body. Either way, I'm glad.

I had similar once that went away on its own (went to urgent care and nothing helped - not even their mega-antacid cocktail), and after talking to other people I later self-diagnosed it as gall stones. Since you've spiked a fever, it wouldn't hurt to look into appendicitis - that wasn't an option for me because mine was taken out when I was an infant, but you might want to check with your doctor. It's often misdiagnosed.

Good luck!

My mom mentioned gall bladder problems as a potential source of the stomach pain. I'll go back to the doc if the pills she prescribed don't work. I talked with my brother on Saturday about appendicitis. He had it a few years ago, and my symptoms don't align with his. Though if I continue to feel sick and the fever sticks around, I'll go back to the doc.
