What's wrong when a fever won't respond to acetaminophen?

I've been getting sick like this since just before Christmas, but the scariest part is the fever.

The symptoms come on like a sinus/upper respiratory infection, but the fever goes out of control - up to 105.5 - and about 75% of the time doesn't respond to Nyquil, Tylenol, or anything else I've tried. This lasts for about 2 weeks, I'll be ok for about a week, and then get sick with the same thing all over again.

The last time, I went to a little clinic and was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. They gave me amoxicillin, which I took and finished, but here I am, sick again. The other night I entirely lost my sense of ballance and barely made it back to bed... I couldn't tell which way was up. =(
Oh... and when I lost my ballance, my partner said all the color had drained from my face. I wanted nothing more than to lay down on the floor, I was semi blacking out. He said it looked like I might've had a small seizure.
 
HOLY!!!!

HOLY CR*P! Ok... I don't normally get excited about things like this but
seriously... HOLY CR*P!

Ok... You need to get the checked out seriously!...
You had hyperpyrexia! (Hyperpyrexia really high fever like 105 and up)

Hyperpyrexia is always fever serious... it rarely happens and when it does
it means a serious disease...if you've had it multiple times you need to see
a professional... seriouslly... get a doctor... soon!

Fevers of 105 and up can lead to brain damage man... don't damage your brain.
If it happens again call 911... and cool yourself off... cause you could be really really sick.
Don't over react though ok...

Don't even bother with fever reducers once a fever is that high ok...
you should take a bath...( it doesn't need to be cold water... just room tempature water...
NOT HOT! Room temperture will do the same thing as cold water.. just slower and less painfully and with no damage to you body.)

If its really that bad you should even make sure that some one is with you in the bathroom... if you have another seizure... you could drown or something...

Seriously... as a fellow human being... I request you get that checked out ok.

God Bless you... and help you get Health again. ^_^

Take Care
