I hate needles.

That is what I found out yesterday at 12am. I've been feeling pretty horrible for the past 4 days. First it started off with a nagging headache that turned into sharp jabs at the back of the head and then my body started aching and I felt brief sharp pains at random parts of me. My arms, legs, neck, chest. Enough for me to know something was wrong. Then I had fever. My temperature read 38.8 and according to Kenny, 40 is when I get sent to the happy home. So I went to the doctor and was told to take meds, wait for two days to see if the fever subsides and if it did not, I had to take a blood test to rule out dengue fever.

Yesterday was day 3 and my fever subsided and I felt the best I've felt in the period which I've been sick. I haven't been eating much so I wasn't exactly Iron Woman. But when my mom woke me up near midnight to force me have something to eat, we saw that my entire body was dotted with rashes. Not exactly dengue-like rashes but still ALL OVER MY FREAKING BODY rashes.

UH-OH. That's where the needle came in. I went for a blood test at a 24 hour clinic. Truth be told I don't think I've ever had blood drawn out from me. Maybe as a baby but I couldn't have possibly remembered then (which is a good thing). The whole process wasn't exactly painful but seeing a needle stuck in my arm was pretty traumatic. And no one told me that it HURTS after the needle's out! My arm still hurts now and yes I'm being a baby. :( I'll be getting my results this morning. I sure hope it's nothing serious because I have an assignment due next Wednesday and I haven't done anything.

The rashes aren't looking very pleasant and it's kind of scary seeing something so foreign on your body. X(

*prays*

This mid semester break blows. Sigh.

Hey! YES! I'm so much better. And it wasn't dengue. It was some stupid viral fever and rash that got me stuck at home for the entire duration of my precious 1 week semester break. I wanted to die as well, seeing that I spent all that precious leisure time being stuck AT HOME watching Battlestar Galactica like some deprived soul. :P

But all is well. Thanks for asking. :D
