It has been a year since I suffered from rheumatic fever. It was like yesterday. It started from strep throat then an excessive joint pain most often in my ankles and elbows. So if you're suffering from strep throat, I recommend you pay a visit to your doctor immediately. "Prevention is always better that cure."
There were times they carried me wherever I want to go. It's because I wasn't able to walk because of joint pain. They put me in the toilet, I peed then helped me back to bed again. That was my everyday routine. Darn it all. I had turned into a baby again, it seemed. I mostly didn't like the food they served and I usually left it untouched. I had to nap a few times a day like a little kid. I was too old for that but I had grown to enjoy naps, till now. :) There was a time I still couldn't stand up long enough to brush my hair, which I really wanted to do because it had started to look like a bird's nest. Lol
My life was so boring then, No night life, No beers, No LYKAFAYEMYKAALAINE! :( Yes, It was a nightmare for me. Till now I have ongoing medications. The worst thing is I have to live with injections till I reach 25 years old. Damn good, right? But it gave me a lot of lessons in life. My family and friends showed their love and support for me. And now I knew they love me more than I'd ever suspected.
You guys better be aware of this disease. Read some articles about it. - Sarah.
