I just went through a hellish last night and next day..
last nite i ate 2 panadols for migraine at 11pm.
woke up crying to the overwhelming pain at 3am.. and fed on migraine pills instead although it was only a 4hr interval since 11pm..
woke at 730am this morning with e same migraine which never went down.
this is almost the first time i got out of bed promptly after my alarm rang because my head was spinning and lying down obviously did not help for the whole night.
forced myself to work.. saw e doc in e morning at 9 plus am, she gave me ponstan and many other colourful pills..
she ordered me to go home but i told her that that was not an option at all.
she stared at me long and hard and asked again if i was sure i wasn't gonna go home for the day to rest.
i stared back at her and said a reluctant yes.
i ate the many different pills and ponstan's supposed to work within 30min but after 2 hrs plus my head hurt so bad still..
i called the doctor up at 12plus and found out that my doctor's shift was ending at 1pm. the clinic told me then that they were not accepting anymore walk ins.
the pain in my head got to me and i raised my voice a tad while saying in a frustrated tone that i had a migraine and ponstan did not work on me so what was i supposed to do now?!
so she relented and let me go down to the doctor's once again.
i reached the doctor's at 1pm n she decided to give me a jab cos no meds could work on me.
she said to me 'u ate a lot of pills the night before and this morning right? so i will reduce the dosage of the injection.'
i was really frightened when i heard the word 'injection'.
i'm very afraid of needles! but i was left with no choice. i wanted my head pain to disapper.
the injection needle went straight into my buttocks because e doctor said that the arm would hurt more than the bums.
i didn't know when the needle was out of my bums and so i asked if it was out yet.
she said that yes it was and gave my bum a few hard whacks at the spot she inserted the needle at to help me dissipate the pain.
she said once again that i should have listened to her and gone home this morning.
she said that i could not afford to stare at the computer anymore and i needed to rest in a dark environment.
so i slept while tearing a little from the pain in my head on the clinical bed, laid on one side (cos my bums hurt a little from the jab) for one whole hour before i decided it wasn't of any use lying down anymore because the pain (the head's and not the bum's) refused to subside.
i exited the dark room into the common waiting area probably looking like crap and so i had all eyes on me.
the nurses sat me down and gave me a cup of milo. it was really yummy because i had not taken my lunch yet at 2 plus..
went down to the nearest food court to eat a little before i collapsed from owning a really hungry tummy..
suddenly i felt that i was alone in this whole world with no one around to comfort me.
exited the building to find that the sky was pouring a very heavy drizzle.
so i detoured and walked underground hoping that the rain would let up, reached the open air again only to see rain that was 5 times as heavy as that of a few minutes ago coupled with really strong winds.
waited wistfully at the mrt station before the rain lightened a good deal and hurriedly ran down the steps, stopped by the place i usually have facials at to borrow an umbrella from them.
right now, im back in office but my head is still hurting like really horrid poo poo crap on one side cos obviously even the jab isn't working but i have to grit my teeth and carry on because there's no way i can leave the shorthanded department to go home and rest.
just 3 days ago, i suffered from a swollen left eye.
an eye that swelled 3 amazing cm down due to a drug allergy.
the white parts of that eye swelled and became the texture of Konnyaku jelly.
eventually, the other eye became a little infected too.
i refused the offer of my boss' sunnies because i thought i would look too outstanding walking out of the lift lobby in sunglasses.
i fumbled my way to the doctor's, covering my tearing left eye with a tissue while trying to cross the messy roads in raffles.. attracting a million stares from passersby because i looked like a freak.
i regretted the do-away-with-sunnies decision.
after i came back to office from the doctor's, i approached my boss for her sunnies in order to leave the office for home.
I ATTRACTED THE SAME NUMBER OF STARES WHILE WALKING AROUND RAFFLES IN THEM.
i was paranoid because my eyes could be seen through the lens but surely the swell couldn't?
so i figured that either the sunnies did not fit my face nicely, i looked weird walking in raffles with them, or i looked CHIO in them.
you know im kidding when i say im chio right?
so this happened because i forgot to dispose of this certain pack of sore throat pills that the doctor gave me a few months back.
back then, when i had eaten the 1st pill, i suffered a similar monstrous swelling.
a few months later which is 3 days ago, i asked mummy for sore throat pills and she handed me this very pack of pills.
i knew that i was allergic to one kind of medicine from this particular clinic.
but the pack of pills which were handed to me had only one pill left, meaning i had consumed the rest of the pills earlier on (or so i thought).
i took the very last pill that morning and my eye reacted worse than it did when i consumed it that few months ago.
later i found out that i wasn't the one who had finished the whole pack of pills but it was my sister who had been eating them.
so these were the very pills that i was allergic to.
don't you think that this week is such a cursed week for me?
