That Stupid FLU came back

The Flu Virus really make my life so miserable.. First was mid May, i'm down with the fever and flu, went to see 2 doctors, cos the first doctor i've seen was DUMB! after one week, then i start to recover. Then it came back last sunday. Walau, it's so frustrating lor. after i was hit by the flu wave, i really dare not go out unnecessarily, i quarantine myself at home, i try to eat as simple as possible, as light as i can. But still it comes back again. So i had to see the doctor again. Again maybe it's becos i'm too eager to "recover", so it's trying to play a trick on me, the medication made me so weak and restless ( stoned for the whole day) But if i don't take it, I'll cough like mad. Then at some advise of my dear colleagues, I took a day off and decided to start my chinese medication. First was the :bitter powder for flu, supposed to drink it hot and went to bed with thick clothing, to perspire as much as i can to get rid of the "cold wind" in my body. Then Uncle Goh gave me some green leave, guaranteed that it's not bitter at all, just simmer in hot water and drink, good for cough and throat problem. OK, not too bad, after drinking my cough does gets better. Before bedtime, my Doctor Goh at home make the bitter tea for me, SUCKS! But what to do, i went to bed and woke up all wet! It really gets better, then he serve me the "green leave" but he being a smart aleck, he went to "crush" the leave and it turns out damn bloody BITTER! This is a torture.
 
The next day, i took leave, and Doc Goh made me some water for stopping my cough ( different version) But it doesn't seems to help at all. Then an aunty of his said, boiling ginger is good for me, to get rid of the flu, so again... we made the ginger water... Hmmm.. if you ask me if it helps after SO MANY Different "water" i would say... NOT REALLY.... perhaps 50%. Then at night, i took my medication from the doctor again, cos i need to sleep, i need to stop the running nose and cough, so i have no choice, but surprisingly, I COULDN"T sleep well at all! It's supposed to make me drowsy, but my sleep wasn't as good as i thought. So turns out, when i reach the office, so many guys said, I LOOK PALE! !#$%^&
 
But i would say, during this period of time, many people gave me many advices, herbs and etc.. I would say It's really sweet of them. Thanks to all my dear colleague that after knowing that they care, i felt so much better.
