After a few days in Bangkok we woke up with the intension of going to the weekend markets but I woke up ill. I know you are thinking I must have a changover but no I was proper sick. I had an upset tummy but I'll spare the details, dizzy, sickness, fever, can't eat. I felt dreadful. I have clearly diagnosed myself with Dengue Fever from all my mosquito bites & infections and when I read the symptoms in the lonely planet I had them all. I read the treatment and there is none. I also know my friend ended up in hospital from it so I must admit I was scared. I dosed myself with paracetomol from Dr Olgas kit. That's better for dengue than ibroprufen. I drank loads of water & didnt eat. I could not face the market or being anywhere near the Koa San road so we consulted the amazing laminated map and found a park miles away & headed there. The grass in this park was so spongy that I fell asleep for about 1 hour, it was more comfy than our 150 baht bed (£3 a night). I woke up and still felt sick and we followed the map to an area of Bangkok called Sian Square which was a market just for Thai people not a tourist in sight. Perfect. I kept drinking water & when we got home I consulted Dr Olga medical kit & found rehydration salts. So once again she saves the day even from England. After an early night, drinking loads of water I feel better. :-)
Thank you Dr Olga xxxxxxx. We miss you xxxx
Glad to hear the Dengue fever didn't take too long to go! ;-)
