Let me explain my staph experience - I am a dialysis patient with a porta-cath in my chest - staph is a fairly common occurrence because of the very slight opening in the chest wall. The first symptoms are flu-like: headache, body aches, fever - especially at night - I usually have night sweats before it gets full-blown. By the next day, the fever is much higher and I can't keep ANYTHING down. It progresses quickly. When I've had it, there wasn't much doubt that I needed medical attention and that it wasn't just something that would go away by itself.
