Dear Doctor two nights ago I began to feel very ill like I was coming down with flu, twice at about the same time in the evening I had to take myself to bed feeling so ill and I began to sweat all over my body and shake uncontrolably for about an hour. In my life I have never sweated in that way. I am a 67 years old disabled woman with a congenital spine problem. I had a road accident ten days ago. I was riding on my shop mobility scooter crossing the road when a hit and run car driver knocked me off it onto the tarmack pavement. The impact chopped my scooter in half. I was taken by Ambulance to A&E where I was exrayed but I had no serious injuries just a few bumps bruises and skin graizes. The hospital discharged me after a few hours and I felt that I was extremely lucky not to have been killed. Is it possible that I could be experiencing post accident shock?
