A steady fever, with nothing apparently wrong, can be a sign of pneumonia--and pneumonia can get to the "just-about-dead" stage (lung capacity down to 10%) before you even feel sick. (Happened to me--although, thankfully, I had enough remaining lung capacity when it was caught that I didn't end up in the hospital.)

NO ONE ever takes me seriously when I say this, but, If you like Fractured your leg or something, you would take a coupla days off work, and the world would not end. WHen you are strapped for cash it SEEMS like the world will end if you rest, etc, but honestly, it won't. You won't even get fired. Sometimes it is the ONLY way to get the body to heal. Resting. It's what the MegatheoCorporatacracy DOESN'T want you to do. THis thing that is going around is VICIOUS.
