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.
