Got a self-diagnosed fever, along with my dry cough and sore throat.
Things aren't looking too good for me.
Something scares me, though. I looked up the symptoms of tuberculosis, a disease of which I was in contact with last week at the Communicable Disease Center here, or CDC. The general symptoms of it are eeriely similar to the symptoms I have. Fever, chills, cough. I know that I'm making many dead nurses roll around in their graves by self-diagnosing myself like this, but hey. Its good practice for when I'll be a nurse out in the hospitals. This isn't a random guess, its a preliminary diagnosis, which is kinda like a guess, but has some weight behind it.
Another disease I may or may not have is MRSA, or methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aurous. Its a superbug that is immune to most methicillin antibiotics. Commonly found in hospitals anf the CDC, which is where I went last week. Again, same symptoms: fever, general unwell feeling, chills. And I am scared even more.
I really, really don't want to get badly ill so early into school. I'll keep you guys updated.

I take it your school year is just starting, then?
ReplyDeleteYou got that right.
