After running a fever that day, I had migraines on Tuesday. Though it's not uncommon for me to suffer from migraines, the one I had that night was really bad, so bad that I broke out in cold sweat, shivering in pain. I know I needed to rest when it was made worse by my urge to puke.
However, the pain was so great I couldn't sleep. I mean, how can you get into the mood to sleep when you can hear your heart thumping loudly in your head? And when I finally drifted off to sleep, I was woken up three hours with an intense headache. How great was that?
I usually avoid the use of painkiller for various reasons. Avoiding negative side effects, increasing my level of tolerance for pain and preventing myself for being overly reliant on painkiller are a few reasons to name. However, I know that I really needed pain relief when I'm woken up by a throbbing headache. I rambled through my cupboard and first aid kit only to realise that I have every medication needed for common illness and emergencies but painkiller! How can anyone not have panadol! (In case ya wondering, I didn't take any form of medication when I ran a fever the last time. I just bore with the pain and discomfort throughout that period of time.) I wanted to knock on my housemates' door but it was 7 in the morning and they were still asleep. I had no choice but to cringe in pain and try to sleep. Sighs.
Thankfully, I woke up feeling better. Instead of having severe migraines,
I had a mild headache which lasted for another two days. This time round, I'm down with a sore throat on top of the flu which I had from the previous week when I was running a fever. Sighs. Bad news is I ran outta lozenges and have to continue to bear with the pain.
Why do I keep falling ill? When will I ever recover? I need a strong body and good
health to see me through the exam period. Dear immune system, will you work harder
to win the war and the maintain peace within the body? Please Don't be such a failure!
