Sorry peeps, I won’t be updating my blog till I am getting better. I am down again with the usual ‘Happy Package’
Was down since Monday with flu and followed by minor body aching. Next day I woke up around 3am as I couldn’t sleep anymore, the body aching spread and the pain was unbearable, check on thermometer; it was 38.9 degree.
I hung on till 8am, wash up myself and went to look for my mum and shit she wasn’t around. I have to force myself to be strong and drove myself to the nearest panel doctor at Desa Park City. Reached there, shrugs! Clinic only opens at 9.30am.
Went back to my car and wait, I was about to cry. The pain on my body really excruciating, first time I feel such pain. That point of time I thought I got infected with swine flu as the symptoms quite similar with my condition now.
Finally get to see doc, and cheh! Just throat infection and hence all the fever and body aching. I almost can’t drive myself back home as I was about to faint. Got back home another drama story. Right after I open the auto gate and I was ready to reverse my car in, Baby Belle ran out. Mum can’t run and obviously I’ve to get her. I only can walk and she ran and ran and ran. Till reached the last end-log house. She finally stop a bit to pee and I squat down to ask her come over, thank god she is very sticky towards me. Hug her so that she won’t be able to run. She is like only 2 to 3 kgs and my hand actually tired after awhile hugging her. This is how weak I am.
Took first time medication and I straight went to sleep. I feel so much better as body aching gone and fever gone except for flu and cough. Till at night 6pm...I feel the pain on my body is back and I went to check fever came back too. Went up to 39 degrees, so I doubled up the ponstan that doc gave me.
I suspect this panel doctor damn freaking lousy. Although he said I’ve throat infection why didn’t he gave me antibiotics? He only gave me flu medicine – day and night, cough syrup, vitamin C and ponstan. Ponstan is something that I can get it from the pharmacy shelf. Isn’t it doctor supposed to give patience a better medicine?
I woke up like 5am today with the pain on by body and I can feel the heat. Again fever went up to 39 degrees. I went back to sleep till now 8.20am. Mum gonna bring me to see another doctor. Better doc and will check more thorough on me.
I really hope it’s not swine flu and I suspect viral fever or either way the lousy wtf doctor didn’t prescribe me the correct medicine. It's been awhile since I last get so sick till bed ridden for 2 days. I guess my body can't take anymore over the accumulation of stress and the lack of sleep.

I am so touch with the amount of response that I've been getting over my post. This is my first time so sick after so long.
Hi Racheal,
First of all, you must be wondering,you've had fever perhaps a few times in you life, but why is this so different. Why is the fever fluctuates and not responding to medicine? Why am i having bodyache and muscle pain?
Well, that's the symptom of viral fever. Temperature goes sky high at times up to 40 degrees, headache, body ache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, at night you would have chills and shivering. After a few hours say 3-4 hours, your temperature drops back to normal. You would definitely feel relieved and thought the fever has subsided. But to your dismay, after a few hours, the whole episode happened again.
The reason why the doctor did not prescribe any antibiotic is simply because he knows its a viral fever. What he should have done is to ask you to perform a blood test after 3-4 days to check for your platelet, or a serology test for Chikugunya disease which is spread by Aedes mosquito. If your blood test is normal, then its probably just a normal viral fever.
Do take note that the fever doesn't gets relieved with Panadol either. My advice to you is to replenish your lost minerals through sweat by drinking plenty of isotonic drink, like 100 plus. Pour the drink from the bottle into a glass to release the effervescence, then drink at least 1.5 litres of it a day. It will definitely make you feel a lot better. RO or mineral water are nice to drink but they are nutritionally zero in value.
Oh, yes, viral fever tends to last longer than bacterial infections. At least 1 week,and the longest which has been reported is 3 weeks.( but i hope yours won't last that long)
Most importantly get a blood test done after 3-4 days after the onset of the fever.
Take care.
Get well soon :)
huh, take good care and hope you get well soon. = )
