Vegetarian.
I turned vegetarian a couple of weeks ago. Just today I woke up with a really high fever, and I feel like i'm going to throw up.
Is my body going into shock or something?
Or is it just a normal flu/cold or whatever..?
Oh yeah; and im 14/f[:

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
A vegetarian diet should not cause any adverse symptoms as long as you ensure you are following a healthy eating plan. It can even improve your health as you no longer eat saturated fats.
It does sound as though you are suffering from a totally unrelated illness, possibly a viral infection. If it does not get better in a couple of days or if you are unable to drink enough fluids, you should a doctor. Try to rest as much as you can until you are feeing better.
Good luck.

Well it probably is unrelated to being a vegetarian. However, it might be ok to assess your diet whether or not it has anything to with it. Make sure that you are intaking the right proportions of nutrients (this applies to vegetarians and meat eaters alike actually).
Being a vegatarian (except those psycho frutarian guys) does not neccessarily imply a diet particularly low on protein or anything. So try to determine if, by turning vegetarian, you have accidentally neglected parts of your diet.

If you have a fever you're probably just coming down with the cold/flu because that's been going around a lot lately since it's spring time. If you continue to have this problem, I'd see a doctor and ask for professional advice.

I'm not exactly sure, but i'm guessing your body's not used to getting the protein and all that stuff you get from meats. It's probably just a reaction to you lacking protein. When you go vegan or vegetarian, you need to sttill give your body it's normal nutrients in order it to function correctly (not saying you'll change without them, your body just needs them to be strong). So i'd say to go to a drug store or some sort of health store and get artifical vitamins and protein. I know for protein, they have chocolate chew things, and they're really good accually.
Hopefully that helped you!
Get better! :]

No your body isint going into shock, vegetarians live just perfectly normal. They wont get sick from not eating meat. It could just be a cold, make sure you drink lots of fluids and Vitamin C so it doesn't get too bad. =)
