I'm writing this in agony, though it's not as bad as the past two days. I'm been a total handicap. I couldn't even stand, much less walk. So I've only been a crumpled ball on my fiance's bed, who's not much help in easing the pain. T_TWe finally went to a doctor when I could muster enough strength for a quick shower and that painful walk to the escalator and down from the apartment to the car. We went to a clinic I've been to once before, I assumed it was due to gastritis (that's practically the only reason I ever go to clinics). First thing doc said to me when I came in was, "have you done anything about your back?" I was so shocked, I was like how did you know??? Apparently the reason I saw him last was because of my stupid back.
Turns out I didn't have food poisoning like what I assumed on my own. Instead, I had chemical poisoning (it happens when you eat preservatives or spices your tummy is not used to). Thank God for the drugs, helped me made it through my presentation in class later that night. And my lecturer was impressed... Though I did miss out a few things. :D
So the tummy's still not as good as it used to be. I've stuck myself to eating soft food (nothing fun) and the trips to the toilet ain't anything fun either. At least there's one lesson you can learn from here: be wary of the things you put in your mouth. (>_<)"

Chemical poisoning? Hmm..I learn a new term today *note down*
Hope you get well soon chika :)
Remembers me about my roommate 2 years ago.
But, he's in the case of allergy to prawns, causing his eyes to be hurt.
Thus, I had to see away from his eyes for the whole week. =="
(Well at least you still can type this post, you'll be OK. ^^)
awww...get well soon :(
Sorry to hear this. Get well soon.
@ karakoza: It was a new term for me too... I never knew you could get sick of something like that. Like Keiichi said, normally it's allergies right? I do know you can get toxin poisoning from eatin too much seafood though, you end up developing some sort of temporary allergy to seafood (I got this once too) LOL
@ all: Thanks so much for the well wishes. It's been a long time since I ate porridge, but I'm starting to miss real food!
Chika -- That happened to me 5-years ago on a business trip. It landed me in a hospital in Singapore for 4-days. The poisoning was awful but the hospital was great :).
I hope you get better soon and find out what poisoned you, so you can avoid it in the future.
OH BTW: That experience introduced me to the soothing power of rice porridge. Now when I get a sick tummy, I make rice porridge for myself. It's now one of my favorite comfort foods.
Hehe... Yeah, that's what I'm eating now too... Rice porridge. :)
Ah, but I really have no idea. What I ate was duck, Chinese tofu and rice. All three are things I normally eat. But the duck was cooked sze chuan styled, so the doc said maybe it was something in the sze chuan. But then again, there's a lot of things in sze chuan... How would I know? LOL
it must be very painful XD better eat less junk food
ahh~
hope you'll be better soon
I'm getting better now... But still giving tummy a rest so not eating too much junks for the time being (but that does not include my favourite sour apple ice cream and pickles)
Ehhhh.... >,<
I nearly got a bad diarrhea lately.
Just because of my over-limit consume of H2O/water. XD
I thought that'd only make you pee more... @_@
I did. I was over-dehydrated. ==
Awww... Poor thing
:((((((((((( I hope everything's cool now :(
Thanks FaS... Good as new... :D
