Whats wrong with me? (Health question)?!
Question: After eating a salad I suddenly started getting chills, very sleepy and light-headed. I drove straight home and took a quick nap. I was frozen - nearly to the point of shaking. Soon a headache came... I even became forgetful of my activities earlier in the day.
I slept 14 hours last night in my super-hot heated bed and still was cold all night. This morning I am awake but I am still cold - then hot, etc.
I do not feel bad at all - like a flu or cold. My temperature is just out of whack and my head hurts.
Do you have any ideas what could be troubling me?
I understand no one can give me acurate health advice but I am only seeking a ballpark idea.
Thanks in advance for your time and input!

Sounds like you do have a bug of some sort - sometimes a fever, the chills, and a headache are the only symptoms. I doubt it had anything to do with the salad - unless you ate some poisoned mushrooms... but then you'd be vomiting too...
Go to the doctor if you don't feel better soon!
Sounds like you might have a fever. Did you check that? It could just be a coincidence that you just finished a salad and had nothing to do with it. Food poisoning normally causes severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Salad preservative sensitivity normally causes diarrhea and headaches.
If your temperature is elevated then take a Tylenol or other fever reduced. It is best of have your symptoms evaluated by a doctor. I know you know, but I just had to add that disclaimer.
