boo hoo... sick
I may be the most rational sick person...
Yesterday, I could feel myself coming down with a fever; started out with the coughing, then a pounding headache, followed by joint and muscle ache. So I got hot porridge, popped those Tylenol, and went to sleep early. And this morning, I woke up feeling like crap. It was hot and cold at the same time, and between coughing my lungs out, the throbbing headache was still there.
It wast tempting to a) call mom regardless it's midnight in SH b) call medical center although there's no way I'm getting out of bed c) call friends even though none of them are in east bay... Useless is how I felt so I thought... fever is your body's way of fighting off infections and viruses; in between feeling aches all over I thought... raised temperature is your body's full on reaction of immune system; while shivering and feeling frustrated cause it was hot at the same time I thought... feeling crappy is the natural course of having a fever and inflammation, cold medicine mostly relieves pain anyways so you can feel better and rest, allowing your own immune system to recover.
So... rest, lots of water, towel for cold compress, and set the alarm clock every 6 hours for Tylenol.
I will get better =D
