I completely understand, brother. I was down with some kind of bug last week as well. Seems to be going around... I hope you're in better health now? And no worries, we'll see you in the next one. 😊 !PIZZA

Yeah, it was a tough cooky, my blood platelets were running down due that virus and now I am almost recovered, but having rehab until my p-count becomes normal.

Thanks for your lovely words. !PIZZA

wow, that sounds intense! I hope that your recovery is going well, brother, low p-count ain't a laughing matter! What does rehab for low p-count look like, exactly - if you're okay with sharing that information here on a public forum? !PIZZA !HBIT

I had been on complete bed rest while recovering from Dengue virus, the rehab was based on natural food diet and short walking segments after each meal. Most of my normal diet was fruits and protein and less gluten based grains.

I was taking citrus fruits to boost my immune system to defeat the virus, then there were papaya leaves and pomegranate to increase platelets and white blood cells. I had also reduced the intake of caffeine based drinks tea/coffee etc.

Other than above I was given some fever control medication and painkillers, because fever did not go away and I had a very tough migraine and backache.

But, the diet had helped me fight with the virus and gaining strength, because I could barely walk in the first week, then slowly I felt a lot better and from 2nd week.

My partner also helped me a lot in providing continuous care during the rehab phase. That rehab was like therapy with controlled diet and medication, unlike what we think of rehab in general.

Thanks for your kind concern and best wishes.

Wowza! That's intense, man, I'm so glad you're on the mend! I've only ever heard of the Dengue virus, it sounds really bad. I'll pray over your continued recovery and healing.

Indeed, it is very intense and sometimes life threatening if platelets do not increase overtime.

Many thanks my friend for lovely wishes. God bless
