Random conversations with my boyfriend when I was sick.
I figured that the subtitle above was perfect and I couldn't help but include it in today's entry. So yes dear reader, I was sick since last Tuesday. I had a splitting headache, a fever and hyper-acidity. Anyway, me and my boyfriend tried to look for a diagnosis from the internet. All you have to do is type in your symptoms and they'll give you a list of your possible illnesses. I know, pretty lame but hey I couldn't afford a real check-up so bite me!
The internet came up with two possible illnesses. Meningitis and Encephalitis. Creepy huh? At the end however, we settled for Viral Meningitis, that's how it is with this type of check-ups. You get to choose what kind of illness you've got. Pretty cool, huh? :D
Viral Meningitis is actually very mild. It's like a common cold except that the headache is an absolute hell. So, back to my original plan. Here are my random conversations with my boyfriend. You have to excuse me, I was in a lot of pain. :)
Me: Meningitis? I have meningitis? Great! Starting today I'm going to live in a bubble. The pain is not worth living the high life.
Boyfriend: You do live in a bubble. It's called your immune system.
Me: Apparently, it's not bubbly enough!!
Boyfriend: You know, the meninges is supposed to protect your brain from the virus.
Me: Well, I guess I have pretty dumb meninges. They got themselves infected. How are they gonna protect my brain now?
After puking for the nth time...
Me: Oh, you must be really glad.
Boyfriend: Why?
Me: To have smarter meninges and a bubblier immune system.
I know, I know, dumb story. But hey, despite the pain and my puke-stained pajamas, I thought I was extremely clever.
P.S.
A friend said Viral Meningitis is not mild. My mistake... It was the internet's fault. I swear I ain't that dumb... :D
viral meningitis is not mild at all. Anything that has to do with your brain is not mild at all. hahaha! you should try searching hypochondriasis because maybe that's what you have. hehehe! Pero me, are you taking antibiotics? because that might be one of the reasons why you have hyper-acidity. Or, you're not having hyper-acidity at all. Maybe the pain was because of your vomiting. If you've been vomiting a lot, you should rehydrate meh. If you're dehydrated, you could have fever, a headache, or in a more severe level, have seizures and what not that could even lead to death. Or, it could be possible that your headache is that culprit of your vomiting. but either way, always rehydrate. If sobra na 3 days, you should have yourself checked. :)
bongga!! gin seryoso.. haha!! :D
yes, tanan man sila ga hambal nga mag pa check na kay lampas na 3 days.. wala galing budget.. hay!!
feeling nila rheumatic fever daw so ginapabalik ko nila sa cardio ko (who is expensive) so for now, la choice.. :(
thanks for straightening that out (viral meningitis). internet- you can't trust em! nyahahaha!! :D
will drink lots of water na..thanks gid!! :D
