Hi people, what's been on?

I've been feeling under the weather of late and have been wondering why.

I'm blessed with the fact that I've never really gone to the hospital for any ailment. Being the daughter of parents in the medical field and practically growing up in a hospital, I never knew what it meant to get sick, go to the hospital or purchase drugs.

Anytime I had to leave home, my dad made sure I didn't lack a months supply of prophylactic drugs to make sure I didn't get sick. If eventually I did, the drugs I needed to get better were within reach and in event of any major illness (which rarely occurred) I was referred to the nearest hospital owned by a friend.
Once in a while I had full medicals done...so, I never really had the whole hospital experience until recently.....


I was feeling really ill and from my symptoms was diagnosed with malaria. I took the recommended drugs, got well but after like two weeks took ill again.
We had lost two members of my extended family to illnesses unknown.
At first there'll be simple complaints like headaches and stomachaches and most times these symptoms will be brushed aside as stress related until it got worse. Then they'll be rushed to the hospital and then it'll be too late...
