sick to the blood

what i hate about myself is that i rarely get sick... and when i do... expect HELL!! i hate it. sobra! parang wala ng bukas pag nagkasakit ako... like now, though im feeling much better i cant move that much lest i be dead and my face is will be covered in muck. oK, that was exaggerating but the point is, i'd rather be sick a lot of time and still feel enormously ok than be sick once every 3 years and feel like a useless vegetable in near catastrophic proportions. (forgive my grammar or my spelling, im still nauseous but i refuse to give up blogging)

hell, im just saying that because i can never feel the other. a typical human being. never satisfied of what we have.

oh yeah, incase you're wondering what my case is... im anemic with mild dehydration. anemic - yeah, Anemia, one of the more common blood disorders, occurs when the level of healthy red blood cells (RBCs) in the body becomes too low. This can lead to health problems because RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to the body's tissues. Anemia can cause a variety of complications, including fatigue and stress on bodily organs. (courtesy of kidshealth.org)

Signs and Symptoms

If your child has anemia, the first symptoms might be mild skin paleness and decreased pinkness of the lips and nailbeds. These changes may happen gradually, though, so they can be difficult to notice. Other common signs include:

* irritability
* fatigue
* dizziness, lightheadedness, and a rapid heartbeat

If the anemia is caused by excessive destruction of RBCs, symptoms also may include jaundice, a yellowing of the whites of the eyes, an enlarged spleen, and dark tea-colored urine. (courtesy of kidshealth.org)

all in BOLD are my symptoms.

it's actually my fault really. i've been feeling a lot worse on Monday, but heeeelllll noo... i gotta go to work! i gotta finish my induction! went to work, drank 3 bonamine, vomit 2 and off i go! Tuesday can't even stand, drank water, vomitted water, took a long long long bath to calm my nerves, drank 3 medicine, and off i go. feeling light headed on the way to work so i ate some bbq i think and sprite. then towards the end of my shift feeling nauseous already... but no! being the trooper that i was, even invited some friends to stay and eat (because i really thought that im just hungry that's why dizzy)... while eating i feel the lumps of food not going down my throat and actually backing up so drank more and more.. at home, i took a long bath, dried my hair and woke up woozy. i even replied to some text, but i can only manage to use one eye, coz if i use both i take the risk of vomitting everything. WEDNESDAY i came to the point of i dont have anything in my stomach anymore that i vomitted air. and acid. im close to crying since i live independently i dont have anyone to help me. i cant move, i cant eat, i cant talk , i cant even change my position in bed!! and the worst part, its soooo hot! i cant drink water, im sweating all over the place and im dehydrated.

i finally had the urge to call my mom and to pick me up and get me to a hospital, because i just tasted blood on my puke. and it aint pretty. trust me. i think my stomach told me "you're such a trooper kid, but sometimes being a baby is much better... if you feel you're as tough as nails, then imma give you something to send you back from whatever part of the universe you think you belong". and that my friends is how i ended up here.
