Listen to Your Body, Week38

my blood test results.. some highs and a low..

this is the week i didnt listen to my body and i got terribly ill.. started to feel week and not myself midweek.. skipped a few lunch breaks and my body fell ill before weekend.. had a terrible sore throat for the whole week.. and then the final blow.. a terrible continuous headache + continuous nausea (not to mention the vomittings) + high fever (38++).. im recuperating now and also guilty for not listening to my body enough..

here what i think went wrong and to do better next time:
1. skipping lunch.. never skip a major meal
2. taking supplements.. make sure they are still good to eat
3. eating junk.. opt for more balance meals

enjoy this to my fellow readers.. kinna catchy the lyrics.. hehe..

OMG its HFM Virus!!!

up until week35 i was making good progress in my weekly training mileage and duration.. now, i have to rest for a few days.. the doctor said i may have HFM (coxsackie) virus.. here is a daily diary of my sickness!!!!

Day 1 (3 Aug'10; 78days to PBIM'10)
i started to feel mild headache since afternoon.. told myself that it will all be fine the next day..

Day 2 (4 Sept'10; 77days to PBIM'10)
my body feels week.. maybe i was not sleeping enough..

Day 3 (5 Sept'10; 76days to PBIM'10)
i felt very cold before noticing i have a high fever.. 38oC in the morning and 38.8oC at night.. the doctor A suspected it was the usual fever.. my throat starts feeling painful.. maybe a day resting will help improve my health condition..

my medication:
- 1 tablet of ospamox 500mg every 12hrs (amoxicillin b.p. 500mg)
- 2 tablet of panadeine every 8hrs (paracetamol 500mg, codeine phosphate 8mg)
- 1 table of strepsils regular every 8hrs (2,4-dichlorobenzyl alchohol, amylmetacresol)

38.8oC!!! i didn't know i was that hot!! yep, you heard me right.. i am hot!! hehe..

Day 4 (6 Sept'10; 75days to PBIM'10)
Went to work today.. the body ache is still there.. headache gone.. throat still feels dreadfully painful!! now, i notice a few blisters on my hand, feet and face.. went to see a different doctor today.. the doctor B was unable to diagnose my sickness.. gave me some ointment for the blisters and anti-inflammatory oral spray to relieve my sore throat..

my medication:
- continue day 3 medications
- apply declovir cream every 8 hrs (acyclovir, methyl paraben, proply paraben)
- oral spray difflam forte every 12 hrs (benzydamine hydrochloride 3mg/ml)

Day 5 (7 Sept'10; 74days to PBIM'10)
while driving to work, i notice my face is full of blisters.. now i start to feel this sickness is HFM after noticing blisters on my throat and tonsils.. so, i went to see the doctor B again for medication..

my medication:
- continue day 4 medications (except day 3 medications)
- 1 tablet of rhemofenax 50mg every 12hrs (diclofenac sodium 50mg)
- 1 tablet of avelox daily (moxifloxacin 400mg)
