SELF MEDICATION CAN KILL

Greetings to everyone, am glad to partake in this contest to share my story.
Life is sweet we must stay healthy to enjoy the fruits of our labour.
I have been in a lot of situations where I was truly scared of losing something dear to me, but I would be sharing a recent event that got me scared.

It's exactly a week ago I have been very busy at work delivering a project in 14 days. This made my crew and I work for 2weeks straight without any break. This hit my health so bad that I became very sick. At first, I was thinking it was just a fever and I would get well as soon as I take some drugs. I would advise you, whenever you feel different in your body, kindly go to the hospital for a specialist to check your health and prescribe the right drugs for you.

The self-medication I did almost killed me and made me and my family very scared. After two days of self-medication, I was rushed to the hospital on the third day. Thank God I went to the hospital, it would have been a different story if I stayed back home and continue to use medicated drugs.
Have you ever been in a situation where you take drugs for pain and you still feel pain? That was my situation and I wasn't getting better, I became really scared and I remembered my faith in God, the gift of my children, my husband, my family in the hive and everyone around me. All this made me believe I can only get better, I started speaking good health to myself and I took the doctor's instructions on how I can recover very fast and truly am recovering fast and I can feel my good health once again.

Today the 3rd of October I celebrate my birthday in good health. Join me as I celebrate my birthday and I was able to conquer my fears, take the right medication and speak good health to myself.
This contest is in response to #hivelearners community contest week 30 edition one.
