I am a 32 y/o female with history of anemia and kidney infections and stones. Recently I had a fever for over a week with the highest being 103. I also had flank pain, and nausea at the same time along with severe fatigue. About 4th day into illness I had pain in my joints. 7th day my feet and ankles were severely swollen and I developed a rash. It was not raised and did not have an epicenter. It looked more underneath skin and was of a lacy design. After tests in the ER I was admitted to ICU. BP was 80/48. I had very low RBC, WBC and platelet counts. I had blood and protein in my urine, my liver was "throwing out it's enzymes". I was treated as if I had rocky mountain spotted fever but no signs of a tick bite or any insect bite on my body. I have not been out of the country neither has any one in my family. I have not gotten any other test results back and this was over 2 weeks ago. I have good days and bad days. The only symptoms that have disappeared is the fever and swelling.
