Food Poisoning
PostPosted: Sat Apr 17, 2004 2:18 pm
Last night was one of my worst nights of my life.
I was playing badminton with my friend around 5 p.m. and quitted the game 2 hours later when "gas" formed in my stomach and wouldn't go away. I sent my buddy home and drove home with a sudden onset of fever, headache and stomach pains. "Wow, that's unusual."
At home, I took a nap and was hit by high fever. My friends came over to bring food for me and prayed for me that I'll get better the next day. I took some medicine (something like aspirin) and slept.
I woke up 1 a.m. to barf and "diarrahea" a few times. I was hoping after that episode everything would be fine (based on previous experience). I slept again but around 3 a.m. woke up with a high fever, violently shaking. I was terrified since I've never had this condition before. I couldn't get up from bed and my body hurt so bad, I couldn't stop shaking. I felt so weak, my mouth was so dry, I had pain in two spots of my abdomen (upper and lower). I couldn't find my medicine or do anything. Perhaps I was delirious then but I managed to call my friends for help. One of my best buddy Christian brothers stayed overnight in my place, placing a cold compress on me, gave me his medicine, give me fluids whenver I asked and accompanied me when I couldn't sleep. In between those times, I did a little bit more barfing and "diarrahea"ing, which helped the pains subside a little.
Today, the fever has left me but I'm left with a very weak body and unstable stomach. I slept most of the day 0.o. I originally planned to catch up with a lot of work from school, research and even mangakaing this weekend but my friends forbade me to do anything like that, stating that I've been under too much stress and neglecting my health. I lost 2 pounds this previous week (!!) and realized that I've allowed my circumstances to wreck my mental, emotional and now..physical health. Sigh....If you could pray for me, I'll truly appreciate that.
I don't know what happened to me but hope it never happens again. My apologies to everyone for my failure to correspond with you or if any of my posts were anything less than pleasant. I am one of my weakest moments and hope for your support.
