West Nile virus. Was fricking awful.... the headaches were so bad and intense that I would literally roll around on the ground screaming for 10 minutes, and nothing would make them go away. Fever of 102+
Thought I was going to die. Was never a confirmed case because I got it right when West Nile was becoming known, and my doctor hadn't thought of it being that but later was told by another dr that West Nile was likely what I had.( I had been going to work early in the morning on the farm and getting bit every morning by so many mosquitoes that my ankles were solid red and swollen every morning)..basically I had no meds that worked...it just ran its course. Took about a week and a half to start feeling better.
To this day, no matter how hot it is in summer, I wear long pants on the farm for that very reason.
