Finding My Way Back...
Tik..tak..tik..tak..tik..tak...
An hour passed, and I was still staring blankly at the monitor. So many things that were going on in my head yet I am not able to start anything or should I say I do not know where and how to start. I was away for too long on this platform so I have no idea how to pave my way back. I am not as shameless as you thought I am, char! I mean with everything that I have received from all of you guys, I was not able to give back, yet, due to the circumstances that I am in. This may sound cliche but I will try to give back all the support to all of you.
Anyway, this would be just a little update of what I have been doing from the days that I am not writing or reading anything here. Well honestly, I had done NOTHING. Literally, nothing. I JUST ATE, SLEPT, ATE, AND SLEEP AGAIN.
The reason behind all these as I had experienced the Myasthenia crisis again. Myasthenia crisis includes difficulty in breathing and swallowing food and it also affects speaking. It started last Tuesday but at that time, it was still bearable and I can still manage to eat but it gradually worsen as the days go by, and last Thursday, the worst happened. I cannot eat nor even drink water. I am so hungry and thirsty yet I cannot suffice it. I was crying inside the room because I do not want my family to see me again in that situation for I know that it will also affect them, especially my husband. I did not consult my doctor about it as well because it means that I needed to be confined in the hospital again and I don't want that to happen.
My husband asked me if I could still endure it and I said yes, that I only need time to rest. Of course, I am not sure about it but I am praying that what I really need is rest. So he took an off from his work, two days. He told me to just stay in bed and he will do the rest. So for that span of time, I think it did help that I had a long day of rest like doing nothing.
And since yesterday, I am feeling much better. In fact, last night, I was able to eat dinner and had a snack later in the evening which I was not able to do the past few days. Like I only had 1 meal a day.
I guess the garlic water that I had been consuming also helps. I saw a video about it on Facebook. A certain Dr. Eric Berg was explaining the benefits that we could get from drinking garlic water every day. You can check the video below to know more about it.
I am so desperate to get better so I tried this one and I don't know if it is the medicine that I took or the garlic water but I improved a lot. As I have mentioned above, I can now have three meals a day, unlike last week. I regained my strength and was able to go back to my normal routine.
With this progress that I had experienced, I am planning to continue drinking garlic water alongside my prescription. I drink a cup of garlic water in the morning after breakfast. You can also try this one but you have to endure the smell and the taste.
I hope this will really help me regain my strength.
