I have a cold… not much of a problem – had it since Thursday 14th, blocked up nose and ears, turned in to a gibbering idiot, slight “out there” feeling, dry slight sore throat – occasional coughing… general coldy type feeling, which has been doing the uni rounds. However -as I was in Uganda over easter, should I have a malaria test or am I being a Hypochondriac?! I dont feel sick, I dont have a headache, but I have lost my appetite… and thats not normal!
Cheers
your being a hypocondriac – take some beechams for cold symptoms and sudafed or something similar for your nose to ease the congestion.
NEXT!!! 😆
Lol you big girls blouse. Get a bit of a cold and its “OMFG Im dying of a rare tropical disease!”
Its always something to think about in sick peeps who you re not sure about right enough – strangely people have developed full blown malaria a year after coming back from their hols… so its not a totally crazy idea. But we have to be serious here – its flu season and you are a big wuss.
IF you became SERIOUSLY unwell, especially if you didnt take malaria prophylaxis abroad as you should have done then a trip to the GP for some bloods would be ok… but doesent sound like any drama at present.
As an aside – during my work in India I personally saw 3 guys die from cerebral malaria…. all within a few hours of diagnosis. So hopefully you aint got that shit 😈
He’d be alredy dead if that was the case doc. Good thing that you got better at doctoring since then though, is it not? 😛

‘Dear Mr. Doc…Lately I have been gettin weird feelings between my legs. Since I am a male with a Y chromosome, should I go to the dock to see if it’s just me getting a boner, or am I turning into a woman?’
Thanks!

Diagnosis: ferret has crawled into trousers.
Prognosis: Stop sleeping in the shed

Lol – cerebral malaria is a complication of malaria of various types – so it is perfectly plausible that Turks could drop dead any minute.
Dont try and get smart with me young man!

But don’t let that worry you Turks!
I was just checking… im trying to write an essay I dont understand, and it would be much harder if I was dead!! (Actually that would make life alot easier!)
There was a story in the news last year of a girl from cardiff who went to the docs saying she felt ill, and was told it was just the flu, and she died from malaria a few days later…
So its always best to check!
