A Litlle Unwell

Yesterday morning, I woke up with a slight headache, a sick sensation and a painful throat. I also felt cold, which is so unusual even in the middle of the night because seriously with the weather we have right now, one could only be lucky to feel cold without an aircon. But in my case, it felt badly cold. And I don't think it was an ordinary sore throat. The pain seems to occur from somewhere around the throat, and not the throat itself. So that said, I suspect it to be a symptom of an arriving cold.

But to this moment, I don't have that condition in which you could easily say I have a cold. And until now, I'm not feeling strong, although I'm getting better. My lips and maybe even my face is pale. I haven't taken any medicine because I don't see it necessary. I think this could all just pass.

So I woke up today at seven in the morning, for I couldn't get a good sleep, thanks to this uncertain condition of mine. And what I did after waking up was to go outside with my shirt off and soak myself with the sun. And man, did it feel great! I felt kind of revived. I haven't done that for ages. Good thing I did that. I thought I could use a little amount of morning sunshine to brighten up my spirits, revive my body and get my skin to make vitamin D. Well after more than an hour of exposure to healthy sunlight, I think it paid off.

I really hate feeling and being sick. You know, that sense of being immobilized, and having to stay in bed or at least at a state of rest. I don't really like being stagnant. But on the contrary, that's what I theorize to be one of the causes why I'm not feeling so well right now. Because I'm not having enough physical activity. I admit I often tend to be lazy even though I try my best to improve my lifestyle and make it more active. So all that taken into consideration, I hope this would be a lesson learned.

As of the moment, I feel a little better. And I think I'm improving. I recall there were even times since the onset of this when I felt dizzy too. Thankfully it doesn't seem to recur. I don't take this condition seriously anyway. I think it's just a call from my body saying I need to get a little more exercise.

And vitamin D.
