29 Article of my journey|16-5-2022

Hi friends! I hope you're all okay. I always try to keep my balance here but I fail. I don't know how a student can continue writing here because I have failed so far. And I'm really sad about myself. But I have a passion for being a good writer. And I hope that my passion will help me move forward... Insha Allah!

I thank my beautiful sponsors. And thanks to all the people who like to read me💜

When I came back from college, as usual, my mother was cooking okra (also called bhindi in our local language) at home. I told my mother to cook an egg for me. Because I don't like okra. But there was no egg in the house and the shop is far from our house. And I had to get to college half an hour later. Because I had to attend a science lecture right after the break. I hurriedly ate okra vegetable and ran towards the college. It was about noon when I returned to the classroom after lunch.

During the lecture I started having severe stomach ache. I also asked permission from my science teacher to go home but the teacher refused. Maybe the teacher thought I was making excuses. I returned home from college after two o'clock. After that I had to go around the washroom several times. But my stomach ache was not going away.

I told my mother that the okra vegetable made me sick. Mom said, "Son, a lot of people here eat okra every day. They have never had a stomach ache. I don't know how your stomach is". I remember getting sick from eating okra last year and later I kept myself away from okra. This vegetable is really painful for me.

There is a doctor in our village who closes the clinic at nine o'clock in the morning after checking some patients. I was waiting for the darkness because that doctor opens his clinic again after evening prayers. After the prayer, the doctor saw my condition and gave me some medicine. And forbade me to eat okra. And said that after taking these medicines, your stomach will get better.

I took the medicine after eating a light meal at dinner. Most of which were pills. I fell asleep after taking medicine. When I woke up in the morning, my stomach was fine. But when I looked at myself in the mirror, I was upset because my eyes, my face, and my whole body were inflamed. And I could barely open my eyes. And this is probably the first time this has happened to me.

I also had to go to college because I had a practical exam in science and I had to attend English lectures. I was feeling a little weird going to college because my body was inflamed. I temporarily covered my face and eyes with a mask and goggles. All the boys were busy solving the test and they didn't pay attention to my face. During the break, the physics teacher called me and asked me why I was wearing a mask and goggles. I told the teacher that I had an inflammatory disease which caused me to wear it all. The teacher allowed me to go home and I picked up my bag and walked home.

I fell asleep after going home. After a long sleep of four hours, I woke up at five o'clock in the evening. If I rubbed my hand on any part of my body, that place would turn red. It was a strange inflammation that would go away after a while and then spread. My mother gave me a piece of jaggery (also called Gurr in our local language) and said that our father used to use jaggery in this disease to keep the body warm. But the inflammation did not go away and my legs became redder than before. It was a disturbing situation for me.

I had to go to the doctor again. The doctor examined my body and told me that the disease was caused by eating okra. The doctor further said that this disease is very dangerous and most of the victims are children. And if the disease penetrates the inner part of the body, it can become more dangerous than before This disease can be caused by a number of reasons.

• Mental stress

• Provocative food

• Frequent sleep deprivation

• The bite of a poisonous insect

The doctor gave me some pills and two creams. And he advised me to wear loose clothing. I applied body creams for two days. I slept in front of the air cooler all day. I slept upside down at night, not on my back, because I had red allergic spots on my back that were painful. After three days, my inflammation subsided. For the first time I experienced an inflammatory disease. And it was a really bad experience.

Personal Advice

Never drink water or milk immediately after okra vegetable. Sometimes this vegetable causes indigestion. I am not forbidding you at all to stop using this vegetable. According to my personal research, this okra vegetable sometimes harms the stomach. This vegetable is beneficial if cooked in combination with meat. Eat this vegetable carefully.

A relative of mine drank milk immediately after the okra vegetable which caused him paralysis. As a result, one of his legs stopped working. This vegetable can adversely affect the digestive system. I agree that okra is rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin K. And it is further condensed the sperm count in men. But eating too much okra affects our digestive system badly.

I had promised myself last time that I would never eat okra in my life but I forgot my promise and after eating okra I reached bad result. But I promise that I will not ever eat okra again. You guys don't promise because the only enemy of this vegetable is me haha.

Anyway, I Finally got rid of the dangerous disease. I feel like I've conquered a castle haha. When we are sick, we are cut off from the life of this world. We are deprived of all pleasures. Then we realize how great blessing health is...

I am grateful to Almighty Allah who has given me such good health again. Stay healthy and take care of your health because it is a precious blessing that not everyone has.

Thanks for reading
