Q: Photosensitivity Or Just Sensitive Stomach?

Hello all --

i've a question to pose. On friday I went out and checked the old air force base where I live. The **blue angels** were doing a show this past weekend and I wanted to check out some of the action. I was out a total of maybe 10 minutes. No hat, no sunscreen...Yeah yeah I know. Especially here in myrtle beach.

Friday evening I had dinner at a neighbor's house, everything was fine.

Late friday night I woke up with a 102 fever.

Saturday the fever went down but wasn't officially -gone- until around dinner time.

Now whenever I eat nothing stays inside. It goes out the right end (pardon the pun) but...Why do I bother eating it?

Usually when I have photosensitivity I just get high fevers. Not the big d word.

Any thoughts? I just caught a "bug?"

Photosensitivity/high Fevers

Hi all...
I have more news, if you want to check out the "shot thru the heart" topic.

This is getting more interesting all the time.

And I am getting sick of it (and I am usually not one to complain!)

It could be photosensitivity. I don't get fevers from the sun but I do get the big d word and blotchy skin. Also my skin feels like it is burning. So, you could be experiencing yet another fun side affect of this wonderful disease.

I'm new here by the way. My name is lori

Welcome Lori

Welcome to the forum.

It's strange how after two years these symptoms suddenly start appearing (i was diagnosed 2 years ago).

The big d word is from salmonella poisoning (another topic I posted). So yeah, i'm having fun right now.
