Hello everyone!! I hope you take care of yourself because Covid is still here. There are still number of cases. It is quite challenging because of the weather. We even have a typhoon coming. As of writing it is raining hard in my place.

I skipped work for today guys. I woke up with body pains early in the morning. My limbs were all in pain. I cannot stand from my bed. I stayed for an hour observing myself, just lying down and yet I was still not okay. The I feel I was having chills. I think I had it for solid 10 minutes. After a chill, I had a fever. As of my research, if you have chills, it means your body is fighting bacteria in your body. After the chills it is normal to have a fever after.

I shared to you that I have UTI and my last day of drinking antibiotics was yesterday. I able to finish it but still I can feel that the antibiotics didn't took effect on me. Later on I felt that I have stomachache. I decided to render Sick Leave because I cannot stand straight due to stomach pain. I forced myself to eat because I'm drinking Tylenol. Stomach pain was still there so I drink Dolfenal.

I really want to take a bath but I feel weak and the body pain is still there. I decided to wipe myself with a wet face towel because the fever is pursuing. I wrap myself with thick blanket and I still keep on observing myself. The body pain was intense and I never felt like that before, even with occasional flu. I can't stand straight, my legs were shaking. When I check myself in the mirror, it looks like I don't have blood at all.

I force myself to eat breakfast. After eating, I felt little okay. I had little perspiration but still stomach pain is there. When I urinated, it was long because I kept on drinking water in between. I learned that the stomach pain I was feeling is because I am having my period. Later on, Dolfenal is working and I can't feel the pain on my stomach anymore.

I slept when I felt comfortable. It was 10am when I went back to bed and when I woke up it is already five in the afternoon. My mother was observing me because if I will not feel well, she will rush me to the ER. Good thing I became okay.

Because I am just lying down, I visited Noise.app, Read and Hive. I also watched random content on TikTok. In the evening I felt like vomiting after I tried to eat dinner. I felt I will be having a chill again but I think something that stop it. I drink paracetamol because I can feel another fever will happen. I controlled it both. Now, despite of what I'm feeling, I able to write in Hive and now doing this article here. Hoping I will be okay tomorrow as I don't want to skip work, I will have lots of pendings when I am still absent. Unfortunately, no one would be willing to work on my reports when I am absent because it has lots of data analysis, that is why as much as possible, I don't want to skip work despite of what I feel.

Tomorrow, I will visit my notifications. Sorry that I cannot do that for now as I need to rest fully. Please also pray for me. I just hope it is just a normal flu.
