### Health Struggles During Ramadan

As Ramadan neared its end with Eid just around the corner, I found myself heading to the doctor on the second last day. I’d been sick throughout the entire month: sometimes one thing, sometimes another. Hoping to enjoy a smooth Eid, I decided to get medical help. The doctor gave me an injection and some medications, but as soon as I took them, my condition took a turn for the worse. That night, despite the heat, I shivered so much that I slept under a blanket.

##### Missing the Last Fast

Because of this, I couldn’t keep the last fast, which left me feeling pretty downhearted.

### Creating Artwork Amidst Illness

Even though I was unwell, I pushed myself on Chand Raat (the night before Eid) to create artwork for Creative Sunday, intending to post it. I did what I could in my condition. But when Sunday rolled around, my health worsened, and I couldn’t find the energy to write the post.

#### Beach Outing and Health Scare

On the second day of Eid, I started feeling a bit better and seized the chance to join seven others for a trip to Clifton Beach.

We’d barely arrived when an intense chill gripped my shoulders and arms. Determined not to spoil the picnic, I kept to myself for an hour or two, hiding my discomfort as long as possible. When the cold and pain became unbearable, I told my cousin, and we soon headed home. I felt a sense of guilt. I knew I was sick and should’ve been more cautious, but the Eid spirit had me convinced I was fine. I worried I’d forced everyone to leave early, though maybe they’d only planned a short stay anyway. Once I settled into the car, the chill vanished, probably because the sea breeze no longer reached me. I suspect the heavy dose of medications was making my body overreact.

### Reflections

Despite the ups and downs, my Eid turned out well overall. On the third day, we visited my aunt’s house and had a blast there. I’d love to hear from you: Have you ever fallen ill during fasting or an important festival? Share your experiences in the comments below. I’m excited to read them!
