I have measles. At the age of 29 I am infected with measles. Tiny measles said the doctor last night.
It started on Wednesday with some kind of rashes on the face. I thought I must have eaten wrongly or the unbalance hormone resulting skin break-out. Then the sort of rashes thing spread to the whole body the next day. I googled measles and I didn't have any of the symptoms except this red rashes all over my body.
It just didn't feel right.
I went to the clinic last night and the moment the doctor saw my arms, "you have measles".
"But I don't have fever, cough, joint pain. and the rashes isn't that itchy"
"It defers from one person to another depending on the antibody. Maybe your antibody is stronger so it suppressed most of the symptoms. Yours is actually at the end stage. You should be ok in 3-4 days. It's contagious so I'll give you mc for tomorrow"
"Is it ok to breastfeed my baby"
"Your baby is actually being exposed to the disease since the last 4 days. Just continue breastfeeding him so that he'll received your antibody to fight this disease as well. Maybe you can minimise your contact with him or wear a mask when you are around him. Don't forget to drink a lot of water"
My so called conversation with the doctor.
Last night was the first night I slept without Kamil by my side since I gave birth to him.
It was lonely to sleep alone, so every few hours, I crept in the room just to see him sleep. I haven't kiss him since the doctor said I have measles.
So this is what it feels to be a mother...
Well, 3 hours more till I get to see both my babies. I am hungry, instant noodles anyone?
