Sick of being sick

As the title reads, I’m honestly sick of being sick/feeling sick. I had a high fever on Wed night 2 weeks ago, causing me to go off on 2 days of medical leave. When that went away (thanks to antibiotics), I was not spared totally and had a cold. That blasted cold lasted all of...

Update on my diet change

As I had previously mentioned, I’m cutting out as much wheat, gluten, diary and soy products from my diet.  So far, I think it’s working!  I’m not losing weight yet but neither am I gaining so I do think that there is some truth in eating the right type of carbs for your body type!

Diet for us with Endometrosis

Weight is a very sensitive subject and for people who, like me, have endometrosis, this is even more sensitive because we may eat the correct no. of calories per day, exercise like mad and still pile on weight like nobody’s business. Don’t know about you but I get really irritated when family and friends are...

The Pain-causing Bugger

That is the bugger that has been causing me pain pre and post removal.  Maybe I should’ve taken a pic of it with my nail as reference.  It is as long and big as my thumbnail.  Yup. Big bugger.  That reddish flap? Yup…that’s part of my gum. Now I know why it hurts soooo damn...

Ugh…down with a stomach flu and had a high fever of 38.7 deg C this morning.  Sucks sooo bad to be sick. The symptoms started yesterday when I kept going to the loo and was passing out soft stool.  At about 5pm, I started having headaches and felt a bit giddy on the way home. ...

Hey all, I’ve just had another surgery done and this time, it is to remove all the growth in my fallopian tubes, near my ovaries as well as parts of my intestines.  My condition is known as endometriosis and this explains the PCOS, the excessive bleeding, irregular periods, depression and even lethargy. The best decision...

Breathless

I had the worst allergic reaction last night. My eyes were itchy and swollen, causing them to water like mad. My nose was blocked and I started sneezing really violently. Worst of all, my heart was racing and I couldn’t breathe properly, even through my mouth. I was wheezing. Thank god for anti-histamines. Took a...

Bloody Sprain

On Monday, I was walking to the MRT station and when I was crossing the road, my heel tripped onto something and I fell. I twisted and sprained my left ankle while scraping my right knee. So sad that my favourite pair of trousers got ripped in the process. 🙁 The fall really caused my...

The Day I had a Health Scare

I woke up this morning with sharp pains coming from my left side.  I just went to the company GP and then she started getting worried because the pain was coming from the area that is right smack where my ovary is.  So…it could be my ovary or my intestines.  Doesn’t help that I have...

*hack* *cough* Bleurgh…

I have been sick for the past week.  Seriously ill…I’m so sick of being sick.  It started last week when I felt body aches and I could just feel that something was creeping on.  However, I felt really good the whole of last Saturday and Sunday afternoon.  Till Sunday evening, my nose got stuffed up...
