Sick again...

For the past couple of days- or the whole past week actually- I haven’t been feeling “in my skin”.

On Saturday my running stomach came back as well as joint pains and a headache. I tried drinking lots of water and eat regularly despite the fact that food was the last thing I craved. Saturday night was pretty bad; I haven’t slept much because every side I turned on was hurting, and I kept sweating. When I woke up in the morning, I went to the bathroom and fainted. I woke up sitting on the floor, realizing that my hip, knee and head were hurting. I fell down on the tiles, so now I am carrying a pretty hump on my forehead. It’s looking much better today that on Sunday; then it looked like an extra bone grew out of my head. We rushed to the clinic but I tested negative for everything. The doctor said that all the symptoms suggest it’s malaria but the blood slide didn’t confirm it. I will see if it gets any better until Friday and potentially go back and have the malaria test done again. Let’s hope it’s just exhaustion or getting used to the weather because I really want to go back to work and finally start my research.
