Sleek like a jungle cat, I prowl the night.

.... If it's chicken pox, it's no wonder you've been feeling bad. When I had them I felt awful

...you didn't get chicken pox, did you?

I had the vaccine you guys gosh

oh right, there's a vaccine for that now

BACK IN MY DAY YOU JUST WENT AND CAUGHT IT AND GOT IT OVER WITH

/nods Same.

it just hives or some such, then?

Yeah it's not as cool as itchy spots but at least you get to say "didn't hurt!" to impress the nurse

same here

And it fucking sucked

you get it as a kid and don't have to bother with needles sticking into your arm anymore

I'm not really sure how hives look. It's red speckles. Like an egg.

Maybe I can get a pic that's not too nsfw hang on

In a public restroom (yes shirtless fight me) with shitty lighting but there they are

...that kinda looks like measles, actually

You're all super jealous I'm cute like those fucking Asian beetles that bite and shit huh

does it itch?

P sure I had that vaccine too though?

Looking it up on wiki, looks like the symptoms are several days of nasty fever and then the rash hits.

I think you need boosters for that one. Are you up to date on those?

A little but not badly. I'm not scratching it, just poking myself curiously as you do

...I dunno man I got all my doctor visits in with the school nurse as a wee pup

go get checked out and do NOT scratch.

I dunno either and it's not like you can be diagnosed with a phone picture by people on the internet

But a flu-like thing followed by a nasty rash looks awfully measley to me

Lol I bet it's not that serious. Tbh I feel a lot less groggy and sick ya know? Physically really fatigued but not what I would call bad anymore cause yay brain function and stuff

And it's really not that bad itchy. I mean I'll see if I can see a doctor cause I was gonna do that before plague of doom anyway but it's tough to get someone to do an IOU and run minimal procedures

when they're overbooked with way sicker people right now. Still sounds more fluy to me though cause sweats and chills and dry cough and cold meds are only useful for sleeping etc

At home we had a lot of cheap clinics, but this area isn't like that. It's lame.

Sweats and chills are the fever and a cough is one of the symptoms. I dunno.

I'm a great plurk medical mystery

it might just be a rash, but if it's still there tomorrow I'd go in and have it checked out.

If nothing else, the measles is contagious as fuck, so if it's that you're gonna wanna lay low for another few days even if you're feeling better.

They definitely won't be able to get me in that soon but maybe by like Thursday if I'm still spotted. I wasn't kidding about how difficult these appointments are. Gj healthcare system etc

I'll definitely make the call in the morning either way if they're not gone

Haha yeah I wouldn't even bring them influenza without warning, forget measels. There's immuno compromised people in every waiting room

It has been making a bit of a comeback... eww. But a quick google also says that some people do grow spots that after the flu for some reason, so there's that too.

Mmhm pretty much what I was thinking. /wink

They got so much worse today and they kind of hurt now this is just rude

They puff up if I scratch though that's both unpleasant and interesting
