I was running a high fever last night and ended up climbing out of the bed and sleeping on the couch. May do the same tonight. Don't know why my bed is so uncomfortable when I'm sick.
Could be an allergen you are more sensitive to when feverish, or a need for a different angle for adequate respiration/circulation. Sorry you are miserable, Gennimom. Hope you are mainlining water w/electrolytes.

Sometimes when I'm not feeling good just the presence of other beings (MrP and assorted pets) in the bed with me is too much to deal with.  

ETA: I think you should call the doctor if you're still running a fever!

Nah. That was way back on the 30th. That night was the last I ran fever. Now I just have that lingering cough that always hangs out for a month. Oh, that and sinus drainage from Hell.
