What is fatigue?

It's the feeling when all your muscles hurt, your limbs don't want to move and every movement you do make causes pain and small cries. It's the feeling when your eyes are trying to close, but you're trying to keep them open, dark circles begin to form. One minute you are chirpy and the next minute you feel like you passed your bedtime by 3 hours. This is all in the middle of the afternoon - 4pm.

Now it is 10pm and I've been trying to eat and stay awake so I can take my medication. Previous doctor gave me antibiotics but the second gave me sleeping pills...apparently it's a viral not a bacterial infection. I might have glandular fever. When I look it up, the nickname is 'kissing disease' but I haven't kissed anyone for 6 months...so I think it's cos I was sharing drinks. Not doing that any more.

It's probably time to go to sleep now... ahhh getting ready for bed will take another hour because doing anything takes time.

This sucks, But I still want to attend those birthday parties tomorrow night...so I'm going to get lots and lots of sleep just like the second doctor said. Interesting experience seeing doctors in Singapore. Cultural observations to follow later.
