i woke up early thursday morning with an aching head and nausea. i thought i could just sleep it off but it didn't go away. instead, my insides churned and i knew it was time for me hurry up and head to the cr and throw up. for the record, i hate vomiting. actually, i am afraid to vomit. i feel like everything inside me is going to come out.
i thought that after this i would feel better. but after a few minutes, i contracted a low-grade fever which eventually worsened. i had chills and my body is totally aching. i couldn't even get up to call my mother because it's like i am looking in a kaleidoscope because of dizziness (and i feel i'm gonna throw up again). i was not able to go to work that day.
my temperature rose and my head and body continued to ache. i was a bit afraid that i might have dengue again. i couldn't eat any solid food and i only wanted liquids (soup, tea, water). in the afternoon, my mother brought me to the nearby clinic to have me checked. i was thinking, maybe it's food poisoning because i don't usually vomit even if it's a high grade fever (the last time i threw up this bad was in 4th year HS when i had gastroenteritis). but the doctor said if it's food poisoning, i should experience diarrhea and my stomach should be hurting as well. luckily i didn't have those symptoms. she advised urinalysis and platelet count to check if a.) i have UTI b.) God forbid, i have dengue.
i just finished both lab tests and we're waiting for the clinic to open this afternoon. so far, i don't think i have dengue because my platelet count is good and i do not have fever anymore.
whatever it is, i would sure love to know what the heck happened to me.
(p.s. i'm browsing the net and i checked what "elevated segmenters" mean - a response said it's an indication of a viral infection. whew. i hope it's not too bad).
