Update on my new blog, Is there progress?
A month ago I wrote about the progress of my new blog
How has the last month gone? I am saddened to say it has gone disastrous! However, in some ways there are times in life when things are beyond your control. I started out with the intention of still writing an article a day but it went awry.
First of ll I moved countries. That was not so bad i knew it was happening. I could write the content before and publish it. That was successful =
Then disaster struck
I caught dengue fever for the third time! Dengue can be a killer it nearly killed me the first two times. There are two types one attacks the lungs and whilst it is horrible you don't get the arterial bleed. The type I have had and have again is the arterial bleed type. Your arteries break down and the blood bleeds into your tissues and makes it looks like an aubergine.
Symptoms
Dengue fever presents with flu-like symptoms that usually appear 4-10 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Common symptoms include:
- High fever (up to 104°F or 40°C)
- Severe headaches (That is the understatement of the Century, you can't get your head off the pillow )
- Pain behind the eyes(is that what you call it it is like a nuclear explosion fusion ready to go off. )
- Muscle and joint pain (often referred to as "breakbone fever" due to the intensity of pain
- Nausea and vomiting (small mercies I missed that)
- Skin rash, which can appear 2-5 days after the fever starts missed that too
Anyway that through me off course since the 9th of September it is only supposed to last a few days but in each of my three times the symptoms lasted a month so I should expect to start to fully recover in a few days .It remains to be seen how long it takes the purple to go away the first time it was over a year.
So back to what I have managed this month Amonth ago I was here
My Progress Blog 30 days old, 32 articles, 32 indexed, 13 ranked on Google 100 visitors,
Now today blog is 68 days old there are 56 posts 52 indexed. 7 ranked on Google (all have dropped pages). However three are on Bing page 4 is the highest and one on yahoo page three same article as on Bing
I have to be truthful there probably at least half of the written articles havent been changed from AI so there is some work to be done there. I have spent a lot of time trying to catch up. For now that is WASTE OF TIME . So I am trying to publish one article a day for October. There seems to be 52 articles indexed which is weird because I have not asked for any of them to be indexed. Nor have I asked whether they are ranking too much effort for the moment
Also Google sire kit.analytics do not appear to be working and I havent got the energy or brain capacity when my head is about to explode. Anyone else having problems with Sitekit/and or analytics?
So all in all let's hope there are better things to report next month and it remains to be seen whether I will publish 3000 words a day and edit as well. I am still in the sleep for twenty hours a day mode. There is not much else to do until this fever breaks completely. See you next month when I hope to have more encouraging news

Dengue?? That can be brutal Catherine as I'm sure you know as you've had it three times...
I knew a couple of friends in Brazil who had it and rest, rest and more rest is the way to go here...
Your businesses will still be there when you have recovered ok!!!
Look after yourself first my friend! :-)
Thats about it Nic, fortunately denghue makes it virtually impossible to do anything else but sleep
Sorry for what you have gone through the past month. Setbacks are part of life, but as for me I thank God that you are still have life in you. The rest will be history once you gain your full health. Wishing you full recovery and soon.

Hope you get to feeling better Catherine. That Dengue fever sounds absolutely terrible!
I did a reset on Site Kit after moving my website to WA. GSC gave me an owner verification fail err. Turns out it was the txt dns. Got my 6 months of data back on GSC but Site Kit only goes back to when I did the reset. 🤷♂️
Hi so sorry you have been sick I know this has been a difficult time but your optimism was still present in what you wrote !
Give your body the rest it needs so that healing can occur ! Many positive vibes sent your way. M
I do hope you are soon feeling better. Finding a way to manage that kind of illness is bound to be frustrating. Are doctors available where you are?
Is this mosquito-borne illness also transmitted from being around those who have it, or is it transmitted only by mosquitoes?
Please stay on top of your healing .

There's no choice, Sami. I can't get my head off the pillow for more than a few minutes most days. It's not exactly a disease doctors can help with; there is no cure. The best medical opinion is to take paracetamol for pain relief, but I know from past bitter experience that it doesn't touch the sides. I am keeping hydrated and sleeping not much I can do
Now it is only transmitted by mosquitoes and my best guess is I caught it in my last few days in Guatemala a month ago it was rife in the next town
You aren't the only one. I caught COVID-19, and I'm still recovering from it. I also lost my Google traffic, as they deindexed many of my articles. I've done a rewrite in my own words, Google stubbornly refuses to index any of them.
I am sorry to hear that, and I am sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery. I haven't looked at my Make Money Online site, so I do not know how that is going, and I don't have the energy or bandwidth at the moment.
I cant let the arterial bleed go to my kidneys or I am toast The only real cure is rest and sleep and then rest again with the knowledge it wont last forever
Hope you get better soon Brenda
You too, Catherine. Both of us need to recover. I've been resting a lot, so fatigue got to me, just like Dengue fever got to you. There is no cure for it except time, just like COVID. Let us take care of our health at the moment.
