I'm currently lying in a hospital bed, in a room of my own and i got thinking. I was thinking about my childhood and how and why my Medfet started.
I was born prematurely and was diagnosed with asthma at a very early age. From around the age of 4 I remember going to the Drs often with coughs, colds and a wheezy chest. So i was very often exposed and examined. It was always an older male Dr.
At 6/7 years old I caught Whooping Cough. It was 1982/83. This left me very sick and I was hospitalised for around 3 months. From memory and some of it is patchy ,I remember being on oxygen, coughing and vomiting a lot and having frequent temperature checks. I can only recall wearing a vest and pants. My chest was listened to very regularly throughout the day by various Drs, physiotherapists etc. Most of those Drs were male too.
At present I'm having chest physiotherapy again. This also triggered some memories. I remembered being in this vulnerable position as a child having to lie still, whilst some strange person tapped my chest and back. I also remember having to be held down whilst the nebulised drugs were given.
Today I'm back in a similar scenario, but not with Whooping Cough. I'm experiencing identical treatments, just delivered a bit quicker as medicine has advanced. It's stirred up a heck of a lot of memories for me.
Now I know in my head that it's definitely the point my Medfet started.
So how and why did your Medfet start ?
Oh and by the way, just incase anyone gets excited. I'm not sitting in bed in my pants and vest lol
