Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase. It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions. This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...
I felt better in the morning when
everything seemed to have settled down a bit and now there are disturbances in
the city taking lives of innocent people. What can one say or do except

prayers to bring sanity and peace to this beautiful city.
At home although things are
better yet my aunt is still going through the high and lows of fever. Doctors
initially diagnosed it to be malaria, as I also wrote in my yesterday’s post but
even with that treatment fever is still coming with breaks. It is a viral
infection they say however, the type and extent is yet to be seen in the
following days. I hope things to get better both internally and externally.
With November soon exiting, now
we feel a bit chilled weather but it is not cold enough to get covered up in
woolies or sweaters. With winter comes the roasted peanuts sold in hand-carts
near every residential vicinity.
The idea of getting under woolies
and cracking peanut shells with family members gathered near TV watching some
horror movie or a ridiculous daily soap is always a wonderful experience.
May we all experience such long
cold winters with warmth and love of our loved ones around us.
May we all remain in peace and
health…. Amen!
Sonya. (Day 246)
