Its working out when the swelling first started... I didnt notice at first as it is a gradual build up... you have the disease for about two weeks before symptoms show when you are most contagious but the GP said to stay off for a bit.. she didnt give me a date to go back.. but did say I didnt need a doctors note for this week... so assumed she meant to take things easy this week and to cover any contagious issues as dates are a bit uncertain...
Its the fact I look terrible as well, I feel very self conscious... and the pain in the side of my face is really bad.. I am on paracetamol and ibroprofen every 4 hours or so... and dead thrsty all the time as its the salivatory glands that swell ...
Oh well... I can see how I feel in the morning I suppose.
