Sensitivity to Light
Similar to a lack of appetite, another common sign or symptom that you’re about to get sick is usually a sensitivity to light. When you start to feel a headache or can’t keep your focus when you see a light source, it’s typically a sign that you have to slow things down and drink some water. Sensitivity to light is one of the most common onset symptoms of a fever, which could be a symptom of something else. In the case of meningitis, many of the onset symptoms are relatively common, aside from the lack of thirst.
As always, the best thing to do in such a situation is to slow things down and try not to jump to conclusions. Sensitivity to light is common enough for those about to get sick, so it’s a sign that you should relax and start taking it easy. Eventually, your signs and symptoms will point to a condition, and you’ll have a much easier time tackling the condition. Until then, take the time to rest and ensure you stay hydrated.
