Good evening my fellow Nairalanders . How y'all doing? Hope y'all had a great day..Well, 'health' they say is 'wealth',but little did I know what that 'saying' meant in reality,not until I found myself on a hospital bed, screaming for help. ![]() Just last week,I thought I was gonna exit this world,prior to how I mistook my health for granted and how it almost later cost me my life..........Last Week's Monday, precisely on that fateful night,I made my toilet my bestie as I frequented it almost every single minute of the night...... Vomiting wasn't left out as well,just as my poo was watery and a very severe stomach ache ,as though my intestines and the ascaris in my stomach were at war..... My vision was so blurry that I thought I was beginning to see the ghost of my ancestors . Honestly,I thought that'd be the end of my journey in life,cuz that was certainly the first time I experienced such symptoms and the Pains that came along with it The following morning,all I could see was myself lying helplessly on a hospital bed....The only thing I could remember was--"Me picking up my keke keys very early in the morning and riding it over to my father's house...What happened next is like a mystery to me to this very minute,cuz I can't remember even a thing about it" A female nurse was the one on duty and after running few tests on me,she later read the test results to me...And to my greatest surprise,the result indicated that I was suffering from cholera . "Cholera? Like WTF? Like how did I contact cholera? But then I had to calm myself down; immediately after remembering it might t had been the constant kunu,zobo and sachet water which I've been drinking recently that might had resulted to it....Or probably I might had contracted it from a passenger, since it's a transmittable disease..... I was indeed plunged into a series of different thoughts of how I contracted the deadly disease,but the thought of getting on my feet as soon as possible exceeded it all ![]() After spending 2 days at the hospital,I was discharged as soon as I started recuperating ![]() Tho,I'm still on my meds but I'm glad I made it out of that hospital bed alive,and as a Matter of fact,I won't ever joke with my health from henceforth ![]() Then again,I remembered how the news of cholera outbreak hit Nairaland's Front page some time ago but most of us here took it for granted.......But little did I know I was gonna be it's victim........ Please dear Nairalanders,the cholera out break is real and it has claimed many lives just like we were told by doctors and nurses..... please let's be mindful of the kind of water and other liquid stuffs that we're consuming....... #LetsLiveahealthylife. #Staysafe.

Wow!! Congratulations to you sir. You just confirmed that the Lagos State Government is right about the major source of the cholera spread. |

Unlike you many haven't been lucky from the devastation of the Vibrio cholerae bacteria that causes cholera. I am glad to hear you made it and is able to spread a word of awareness.. There is an effective oral vaccine for cholera that offers as much as three years protection. In Cameroon, my country of origin there is a pilot exercise that targets vulnerable areas.. However epidemics do occur. The last was three years ago that devastated the coastal city of Limbe. I know a few prominent persons that died. However since then the source of the epidemic was traced and appropriate measures taken to prevent recurrences. Mounting evidence gives about three years of immunity when you recover from a cholera infection. Stay safe though

DoctorAyukebot:I think he mentioned the moderator Dominique so he could move it to front page for more awareness about the devastating effect of cholera. |

In Nigeria, we no longer believe the Government and TV stations so this Testimony is a welcome awareness! Congratulations and thank God you survived! |
