John Roberts is hospitalized after being diagnosed with a severe case of malaria on Aug. 25
The Fox News anchor tells PEOPLE that he dealt with body aches and “uncontrolled shivering”
He said he’s been feeling “up and down” with treatment and hopes to be back at work next week
The 68-year-old opened up to PEOPLE about his health scare and said he was diagnosed with the parasitic mosquito-borne illness on Monday, Aug. 25.
“I had been hurting from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. Literally everywhere. I was also beset with uncontrolled shivering all during my show,” he tells PEOPLE. “Initially, I thought it was just muscle cramps and aches. But when I started shivering, I started to lean toward the flu.”
Roberts says he “knew it was bad” when his blood work showed that his platelets and white blood cells were both low. “My rheumatologist told me to go to the ER,” he recalls.

At least he didn’t get eaten in Indonesia like Michael Rockefeller.
Oh, and Joe Biden’s uncle.
