Attacked by my immune system
It was the beginning of July 2006, I had a decent day at work and was excited for the weekend to begin as I had not been to a theatre in a long time and could not wait for experience. It was a busy friday and I remember walking down Covent garden coming from the theatre, I had just watched the Lion King. I got home and realised through my whole entire journey in-fact the whole day I had experienced a sharp pain in my left leg and right shoulder. I did not think much of it so I decided to rub a little deep heat and went to bed.
I work up with the urgency to use the toilet, my temperature was sky high, both my shoulders ached my body felt heavy for my legs. Every step I took to get closer to the toilet was agonising. The tendons at the back of my legs felt like they had been stretched to their limit and where about to tear. The joints in my feet and knees where aching and I experienced excruciating pain as I went down the stairs.
When I made it to the toilet, I sat down and cried as I tried to figure out what exactly was happening to me. I got my mobile phone and booked an appointment to see my doctor. I could not understand what I had done to cause the pain and strain that I was going through. I was very scared…
