The sick pacat

This whole week has been a rollercoaster ride (cliche but true) for my body. No kidding.

Having low grade fever with chills and rigor. No fun.
Nauseated, vigorously shaking the cup, couldnt finish the wonderful lasagna in front of me. No fun at all.
Troubling people (Leeks n K) to send me to clinic. boohoo
The doctor in clinic didnt even examine me. hmm. and only treated me for my nausea. (antacids, omeprazole and charcoal pills given). Furthermore, she looked at me with disbelief. As though I omitted some important symptoms from her, just for fun. Yes, my symptoms were very vague: fever, chills, rigor, headache, started within 2 hours, nausea, no URTI.

On the way back from the clinic, I vomited at a random drain near the college. hahah. Funny part was, when I thought I was okay, I saw a pile of dog poop on the grass, and ran back to the drain to vomit. hahahaha

FInal diagnosis: no diagnosis. ruled out H1N1 tho. hehe. I havent been overseas, no contact with ppl with H1N1 k, no flu n cough either. *sorry to disappoint loads of ppl who wanna skip class*

The nite was bad. I was sweating madly. I felt all the heat in Sahara accumulated at the neck and face but at the same time was shivering. A/C was at 22 degrees. I'm usually not a whinny person when I am sick as long I am allowed to sleep but having my sleep being disturbed like that, made me absolutely cranky. I was only able to sleep at 3-4 am when the core temperature has decreased.

Woke up bout 10.30am, wanted to attend lectures but well, was not in a good condition for the earlier classes. Managed to go for the 11.30am class. I did not skip class for fun k. Valid reasons. hehe

Afternoon was good. Ate porridge for brunch and went for a movie ( night at the museum 2 was hilarious. guess who laugh the loudest? haha i think that's more like a rhetorical question rite?.>> me me *wave hands*) plus had teatime. *the happier times. the feeling of being able to enjoy after a night of hell is pure bliss k*

Should have known that that was the calm sea before the storm.. -___-"

Then hell started again. Felt feverish bout 7pm. Went out for dinner but couldn't finish my food again. Whole body weakness, but no fever. Wanted to do some studies for my short case end posting the next day (Wednesday) because Dr.NKS was coming in and he is more lenient plus I did badly for long case when Dr.Gauri came in. Sadly, as man propose, God dispose. I read only 2 pages in Leekie's house and couldn't take it anymore. Slept on her bed while she, Alicia and Sashi were thinking, in their respective abode bout my diagnosis.
Finally, Sashi thought of possible allergic reaction to my HPV vaccine and with that in mind, Leek's brought me to another panel clinic in the town at about 11pm. The doctor there was more professional. Upon seeing him itself, I felt better. Hehe. His manner of conduct and confidence shows his expertise, kinda remind me of the time when I visited the clinic during the younger days, I automatically felt better. My mum always teased me, saying, what a waste of medication money, should have just paid for the consultation fees. :)
Back to story proper, my temperature was 39.1 degrees (high grade) with myalgia (body weakness) but again no rash, URTI, UTI etc. He sent my blood for full blood count but only can get the report the next day. Apparently, if he calls means it's bad news and I have to be admitted for most probably dengue but if there's no call, means it's good news. He sent me home with paracetamols, metoclopramide and my MC slip.

Had to ask Leek's to messaged Alvin, the groupleader to postpone my short case to another possible day.

The night was not as bad as the first night but fever was there. Slept to 10am the next day. Groupmates called at 12 something, to asked me how am I? and asked to be included in the list of possible contacts if I do have H1N1. -____-!!!

Seriously I thought I was feeling better, no feverish, ate only porridge thanks to Leeks *mwah* and was in the room the bloody whole day! So, the thought of Japanese food was so tempting plus it was a friend, Beh's birthday. He treated for dinner, so kinda shy if we didnt attend the after party, which I sat and move minimally k. *angel's halo, big wet puppy eyes*

I did attend class the next day with a pulling sensaton on the periorbital areas radiating to the frontal area. The heat in Muar did not help at ALL. By afternoon, my headache had worsen plus we had 3 short cases plus 2 long cases to finish. All this time I was taking paracetamol like sweets i tell you!

As soon as I reached my room, I bathed, ate a slice of bread, swallowed another 2 panadol and slept. Yes slept. But in between the sleep, there's a minor break for gossips from my very salah gf. hehe And slept back again. So, in total I slept for 13 hours from 5 pm on Thursday evening till 6am. I am so SINFUL. I tried to force myself to wake up earlier the next day cos I'm having my said short case end-posting on this fateful Friday by the Dr-who-I-wanted-to-avoid-badly, Dr.Gauri (just my luck) and study whatever my gut feelings told me to study.

Instead, I woke up at 6am to cook Maggi curry cos I was damn hungryand was dreaming bout it probably from 10pm onwards. Who cooks maggi at 6am in the morning? huhuh. On the empty stomach, it doesn't taste nice at all. Huhuhuh I was drying my hair ala turban style and with my specs out to take water from the water dispenser this morning, so if anyone saw me at 6am at the corridor of girls' hostel, that was not a ghost of any kind.

Thank God, my end posting went quite well and headache has decreased *fingers crossed*

I dunno where and what went wrong. Only God knows and God will heal. Amen :)
