I've gotten Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease!!
I was feeling so well and ok til tuesday last week. Was still very ok during the daytime, went to PSA for their Port Tour .. til evening time when i got back to hall .. The heaty feeling started to appear. I thought its the caffaein effect which I usually got after I drank coffee (those espresso shot kind especially). I had Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks as I reached PSA too early. However, after dinner, I started to have headache. This is the worst headache i ever had. Every few seconds it struck once. Took 2 panadol from yuzhen and managed to slp after my fever subsided a bit. However, i woke up at ard 3am again, feeling super feverish and the terrible headache was still there. Took another panadol extra from Crystal which was effective for my fever but not for the headache .. its like killing me every few seconds, cant really slp properly. After seeing doctor, then realise its migrane. 1st time leh, gena migrane .. doctor on the spot gave me medicine which cured the headache after I went home to sleep. Really effective medicine, just need to eat once. And i thought I'm all okay after the sleep, just having no appetite. Til Friday, I realise blisters start appearing on my hands and feet. And I started to have sorethroat. But the sorethroat was a different kind fr my usual ones. Blisters start to get worst on friday night .. especially those on my feet, every step i walk also pain. Woke up super early on saturday to see doctor again .. and its confirmed! I contracted Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease! And all along I thought its a kiddy disease, only contracted by small kids .. But from what my doctor say, adults do get, just that its not as dangerous as little kids got it. I was given just 1 medicine, Tamiflu. twice a day for 5 days where the medication ended yesterday. Finally recovered, but the blisters stil can be seen there, but think they're probably drying up le. Dad was telling me yest's news was saying now is HFMD's peak period, this 2 weeks super many ppl gotten, ard 700+. Not very sure how I exactly gotten the disease, but since frances gotten it also, we suspected that we got it from amk kbox which we went on saturday, the week before our fever appeared. HFMD is quite contagious, so every1, if u feeling unwell, rem to see doc and stay at home to rest. And to prevent, wash ur hands regularly!!!
