    A most impressive virus

    The virus that struck me down last week, then left me bed ridden for days with a fever that max doses of brufen and paracetamol could not tame, then quickly progressed into tonsillitis (yesterday's doctor's visit) and then progressed into suspected pneumonia (today's doctors visit) with for fun 12 hours straight of heart arrythmia and palpitations.

    Typed from sick bed as I had to send an email to ClientCo. Palpitations stopped, fever broken. Right lung still chokka.

    These designer viruses eh?
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      Might be Lassa fever or Marburg; don't worry, you'll die before it gets any worse.

        There were a few points along the way when I was thinking death was preferable.

              I got cellulitis (not cellulite for anyone starts) a few years ago - that totally floored me, I was dreaming I was a crack in rock or a feather in a duvet, well weird. Freaked me out. Had a fever of 39.8c or something. I was spewing bile and had to crawl to the loo.

              In the end the Doc refused to come out (a Bob) so I called the ambulance and they treated me there and then and took me to hospital.

              They put a fan on my that froze my bollocks off and put me on an antiboitic drip. Next day I was right as rain!

              Three Bob docs came to see me and accused me of visiting Africa or the Tropics, finally the non-Bob consultant saw me and just said 'cellulitis'. Sorted.

              Never trust Bob Docs. Or contractors.
