Food Poison? Diarrhea, Dysmenorrhoea?

November 13, 2022

Today is the birthday of my younger brother. Unfortunately, the celebration was sad because three of the family are not feeling well, that includes me.

We woke up not early and it is just the regular day for us, although we have plans since today we are celebrating our brother's birthday. When my sister was about to make a coffee, she saw that we don't have a stock of sugar so I pullout a coffee, a slimming coffee to be exact out of my bag and she prepared it instead. After a while, I felt my stomach was growling. It was really growling like the sound of a Tiger. It was painful but I can manage.

I was talking to my sister and taking breakfast as well, and after that, I wash the dishes. I felt that I need to go to the bathroom to poop. Sorry if your are eating, might as well skip this part, but what happened is that, I poop. It was liquid!! Okay you don't need to read this.

The rest of the afternoon was spend in and out of the comfort room. I even felt my dysmenorrhea collaborating with my diarrhea, what a perfect moment!! I felt sleepy but I was in pain. I really felt weak. I can't even hold my cellphone and I don't have the energy to work online or check on social media. I was just sitting on the floor and feeling the pain on my stomach. Dysmenorrhea and diarrhea are getting along with each other and in fact they became besties. I was suffering for 8 hours and I can't sleep even if I feel sleepy.

My mother said that maybe I was food Poison, since last night as early as 2am I was still eating because I was working on something. For me the real suspect or culprit is the slimming coffee that we drank earlier, because in the afternoon, my sister was suffering too. When I came out the toilet , she will enter it and as soon as she got out, I am using the toilet again. The toilet is really busy with two customers.

Then in the evening, my mother started feeling the same. She was getting weak too and she felt she will be having a fever. Actually, before us, my nephew suffered the same last Friday morning. We failed to have a complete sleep because he was vomiting and pooping at the same time. And then it happened to us. Gladly, the birthday guy is safe from diarrhea. We celebrated his birthday like, we just lighten the candle and sang for him and then we left him eating in the table because we were all not feeling good. Now, my stomach is still growling but I have the urge to share it to you because I want to know, from your experienced, what seems to happen to us.

I hope I recover fast as it is back to work tomorrow and I have lots of plans to accomplished. I am still not okay as of writing because I feel I am near to toilet visit again. I already drink immodium and it seems not working. Tomorrow I will drink pocarri sweat to make up to the lost electrolytes. I hope I get better.
