dengue fever

hi all!
been away for a bit - suffering from dengue fever - thankfully it's not the more dangerous haemorrhagic type, but it was still bad.
it all started last Friday when i was capping off what was a pretty lousy week. i had a megaton sized headache and was feeling lightheaded - dizzy, i alternated between feeling hot and cold and lacked any appetite to eat ... caught 40 winks during lunch and felt slightly better after lunch, but not by much - i finally finished my work for the week, packed up and cursed the idiots who were gooping at the accident on the other side of the LDP for slowing my drive home down.

i collapsed on the couch and only woke up at 10 pm (way past CG meeting which i missed again) . then i forced myself and my aching knees to get up and shower and change and sleep on my bed. i staggered into bed and was awakened by LV's sms to meet for breakfast. i was itching all over and feeling feverish and i had to decline.

the weekend passed by in a blur of total lack of appetite, shivering sweats, itchy rashes and aching joints. plenty of water and revive isotonic drink too. i can't remember ever drinking so much isotonic drinks in one sitting ...

i finally managed to catch the doctor yesterday which was when i discovered that instead of a simple viral infection, i had dengue fever. no wonder i was feeling so wretched ... :P but the worse, i believe is over - only my white blood cells are fighting OT and are quite depleted.

well, i m kinda better now, but i still tire easily. will turn in soon. i need to rest. take care all of you, and thank you for asking. you know who you are. :)
