Pain Magnified

What a way to end the 1st month of the year!

By being sick sick sick.

Been trying to fight off the fever-ish symptoms since last few weeks but finally, it caught up with me - in a big way this morning.

When I tried to get up at 5am, found myself unable to open my eyes, head felt very heavy and all the joints on my body creaking mad in pain.

Every.single.movement.is.pain.magnified.

SMS'ed my superior informing them that I'm unable to go to work. Swallowed some meds. Tried to sleep it off. Woke up. Showered (I must shower even if I'm sick/feverish - feel icky if I don't) and went to the clinic.

Had a very long wait at the clinic. A lot of ppl also feeling under the weather, maybe because of the weather?? Doc gave me 2 days MC and some meds. Told me to come again if my condition persists as I may require a blood test to rule out chiku or dengue (The dreaded chiku has been making its rounds at my workplace. Some of my colleagues already contracted it).

Haih! So much work and now this! Can imagine my work piling up as I type this.

*sigh*
