Go to Urgent Care, ER, or Doctor Tomorrow?

My symptoms include but are not limited to:
severe joint pain, so severe I can't move much high on/off fever stiff neck difficulty walking sore neck/glands Basically feels like I'm drunk or recovering from a beating. I can't decide if this is the flu or something more serious. I'd like bloodwork done but if I go to After Hours I'm not sure they do blood-work. Also not sure if this is worthy or an ER visit, even though I feel like death. Tomorrow I have to bring my twins with me anywhere I decide to go. What would you do? |

| Go to the ER. Sounds like it could be meningitis. Not trying to be dramatic but fever and stiff neck would have me worried. |

| PP again, don't take your twins into an ER or Urgent Care if you can help it. Go tonight while you have DH to watch them. |

Symptons started last night this time. I forgot to add I have the chills on and off, and while I have them my fever goes up to 102. That makes me think flu but now i'm worried it's lyme after googling symptoms. |

| OP please go to the ER while your husband can watch the kids. DON'T take your twins to the ER if at all avoidable. |

| I agree w/PP, ER tonight. They will rule out (hopefully) anything serious like meningitis - which, on the off chance you have it, you need to get treated ASAP. Hope you are better soon! |

| Ok, off to the ER. Holy Cross, Shady Grove, or the one in Bethesda? I'm central to all of them, any recommendations? |

| Another vote for the ER. Stiff neck and high fever sounds like meningitis. Probably only the viral kind but it could be bacterial which could put your kids at risk. |
