27 july food poisoning sucks

4am i woke up feeling miserable. felt that the food was choking me and the food in my stomach was rising up my oesophagus. nausea. i rushed to the toilet. tried to puke. but could not. i sat in the living room waiting for the next wave of nausea. i managed to puke this time round. and more. i puked on and off till 6 am. puking sucks. the acidic nature of the puke burns the throat. so i cant understand why pple wanna drink till they puke.

i thought everything was over after my bout of puking. then the diarrhea set in.
the diarrhea was more horrible. it was non-stop diarrhea. the type you wish you could hug the toilet bowl and stay in the toilet. the moment i lay down on my bed, i had to get up and rush to the toilet. doing the 100m dash to the toilet.

i had wanted to see a doc. but the diarrhea just prevented me from doing so. it finally cleared up at noon. in the rain, i walked to the clinic. the doc confirmed that i had food poisoning. gave me a mc and some med. the usual anti-nausea, anti-diarrhea med. he told me not to eat or drink anything for the day.

however, my ma had cooked porridge. so i ate a bit of porridge and an orange. then went to sleep. or rather rolled around in bed cos i could not really fall asleep. at 7 plus, my ma woke me up to have dinner. i puked again. but i still had a bit of chicken soup with rice. guess wat? yes, i puked again after dinner. i din dare to eat anything liao.

the next day which is today. i continued to have diarrhea. at least the puking had stopped. i could eat without throwing everything out. so i should say i m on the road to recovery.
