Influenza A positive

Finishing my last night-duty, and exactly right on my resting day that i started to fall sick. Seriously sick, i had fever about 37.8°C, vomitted whatever there was from my intestine once, unable to eat anything, too weak to even stand on my knees and badly shivering. Lucky enough it was 2-days off so I could rest longer. I thought it was only a normal fever, since working i'd get a high fever once every 2 months. The next working day when I supposed to do double shifts (our usual double shifts is 14 hours working), the night team leader plotted me to incharge the infectious quarantine case. I requested to swap case since I'm not feeling well, then they noticed I didn't look like my usual self. So my seniors asked me to go to emergency dept just to check.

"Omg," I surprised to see my temperature already 38.5°C. The doctor offered me MC, but I refused first saying I'd like to see my rapid influenza result. An hour later, my Influenza A was positive, given antivirus and 3 days MC. Understatement, I were told to take enough rest, avoid the crowd and to come back later for check up. H1N1 test also done just to make sure. These days were hard on me, and I didn't really tell the truth to my family as the might worry sick esp my parents. However thank god I had a caring eldest brother that concern enough, and friends that supporting me from time to time.

All were there. Headache, giddy, nauseous, vomitting, fever, whole body aching, stomachache, diarrhea, painful cough. I even awared that my condition will deteriorate any given time, but thank God i recovered. If it were going to progress, I'll possibly facing death already.
