*Sniffle!*....... *A-Ti-Shoo!!*

I'm sick. Down with a full-blown episode of FLU.

The reason I'm blogging about being sick is not to complain about how miserable I feel. Rather I feel a need to chronicle the misery so that I can remind myself how bad it feels to be sick when I'm all healthy and jumpy.

Sore throat --> Pain. Hurts when you don't do anything, hurts even more when u swallow or speak.

Blocked/ runny nose --> my nose can't seem to decide if it loves to run or block. So it's alternating betweem these two activities. I feel like it's going to drop off any time.

Congestion in head --> don't know why but my head feels very congested and pressurised inside.

Fever / pyrexia (I know my physio u see! ^^) --> my body feels hot and cold at the same time. Temperature is positively correlated to dizziness experienced. At high levels of dizziness I develop a desire to faint and just ignore the whole horrible sensation.

Diarrhoea/ gastric/ stomach upset--> They always decide to jump on the bandwagon too when I'm sick.

Fuzzy brain--> Brain can't seem to work properly.
Eg: Wanting to say 'I normally wash with shower gel.' comes out as 'I wash with body lotion.' No wonder Cyn was staring at me like I grew two horns.
Eg: Sulphur atom of lanzoprazole with two doubly bonded oxygen atoms was misinterpreted as a chiral centre!! Gone la my one week's work of remembering the molecule structures.....


Note to self when I read this in future:
Being sick is no fun. And even worse during exam periods.
Must take care of myself and not fall sick.
