Who knew that could happen?

You know how when you wake up in the middle of the night and you are still 75 percent asleep everything is a hundred times worse than during normal waking hours. Yeah that was last night. Within the past 8 weeks I have been relatively illness free (knock on wood) but by the time I fell asleep again I had concocted atleast 10 different ideas about what illness I may have and was pretty convinced that the next day I would go to the doctor, find out I have apendicitis or an intestinal torsion, and have to be on the next flight to the US for emergency surgery. Especially since returning from Linguere where who knows what different types of little creatures could have invaded me. Turns out, according to everyone Ive spoken too, including my house mothers niece the doctor who lives around the corner (how convenient!! Eli when we live in the commune I cant wait for when Im sick to be able to go to the hut next door and knock on the door, or rather pull back the burlap sack door, and have you diagnose me) I have a condition which is brought on by none other than... the fan. (yet another public service announcement for air conditioning) Who knew that could happen? Apparently if you sleep uncovered with the fan blowing on you continually, which is necessary in my oven of a bedroom, you can get what I have. Essentially it feels like a really bad sideache from running but it just continued to spread into my chest and back and it felt like something with my lungs. My mother said the same thing happens to her feet! From what Ive seen about medicine around here, I was slightly suspicious but everyone has confirmed the fact that this condition exists and it seems that everyone has had it. I was prescribed an antiinflammatory cream and told it will go away in 2 to 3 days. Interesting...
