On Sunday last week, I started to feel unwell at work. Collapsed on Monday at work. Diagnosed measles on Wednesday. In isolation ever since. Worse and worse. No cure just IV paracetamol and anti sickness meds. Can't speak or even swallow own saliva. Have not really eaten in a week. Doctor says my liver is being damaged by the measles too. Had a scan. She says when the measles runs its course, liver will repair. Have never been in so much pain. They have said because I'm not eating I will need to be fed through a tube and maybe go to itu. I have read up on TPN (fed through a vein) and am very scared. I don't know what to do. I asked if I'd die and she said "I don't think so". I'm so so scared.
