Weak
WHO seems to be warning about flu epidemics quite a lot recently.
The flu viruses are getting stronger? Or am I just weak?
Every year I get little colds and flus, and these are ok lor. But I find that the last two major flus I had, I took so long to recover completely. Last July it was so bad that I had 4 days MC (accumulative) and it took me another 2 or 3 weeks to regain my appetite.
This time I'd already spent one long weekend sleeping plus 2 days MC. But still not well! The throat just gets painful now and then, and the cough makes its presence felt on and off. Not to mention the stupid phlegm that refuses to vanish! My colleagues advise me to rest more and don't talk. But if people talk to me I have to respond mah...
Worse thing is my mum's illness...chemo drugs lower the body's immunity so my dad keeps telling us to try to avoid getting sick so as not to spread the germs to her. As if we can help such things!
I really need to get well soon!

'Ho Yan Ho Cha' is a chinese herbal tea...yea its dark and fu (bitter). The chinese name is '何人何茶'. I drank that for a whole week when i had flu a few weeks ago. And yea you need enough rest and sleep to build up ur immune system..very important ga.
And i hope ur mum gets well soon.
All the Best. :)
eeek...so it's really the 'fu cha'. I can't stand bitter stuff and a lot of the Chinese herbal stuff. But think i'll have to try some of the Chinese things if my cough/phlegm problem doesn't get better.
Thanks so much for your encouragement. My mum's finished her 1st part of treatment (3 chemo cycles). Now doing the 2nd part (radiotherapy 5 times a week + chemo every 3 wks).
not all herbal stuff is bitter...*wink*
