I woke up this morning feeling much better, I thought, than yesterday. That was until I stood up – I suffered what I found out to be called, a Hypovolaemic attack (apparently). I hadn’t increased my fluid intake enough. My body was using all of the water I had to flush out the virus and therefore it needed more than usual to keep my blood pressure steady. I felt like I was going to faint – my body was shutting down and I couldn’t walk properly – I stumbled into the room next to mine and pleaded for help – having no clue what was happening to me.
I had heard from a friend of mine who has had Swine Flu that he spent most of it vomiting, I thought I might – yet I realized nothing was actually happening, I didn’t vomit – I didn’t shit myself. I started sweating profusely – it was cold and my clothes begun to stick to my skin. I didn’t know what to do but water was the safest bet – I turned the bath tap on in the bathroom and stuck my head under the torrent of water and opened my mouth – within a few minutes I was back to normal (normal flu-like conditions that is) and went back to bed – having dried off first.
Swine Flu is here. It is as popular a topic discussed as Michael Jackson’s death. I woke up this morning to find my face was burning, my throat felt swollen and there was a peculiar taste in my mouth.
