A member asked:

I have had a low grade fever for the past 5 days. nausea, low back pain, tiredness. i have been drinking 64oz of water. should i go to the docs?

Probably: If you are not starting to feel any better by day 5 of what may be just a viral illness, then you have to start considering other causes such as a UTI or STD's. Continue to push the fluids as you are, but time to have a few things checked. The fatigue is likely just your body's way of saying "I'm sick" and slowing you down.
