So I wake up in the middle of the night and I am FREEZING! I cannot stop shivering starting from my head all the way down to my toes. It was so scary because I had no control of the shivering! Apparently I was burning up to the touch though. (Thank you J for keeping me alive and taking such good care of me!) I really really had to go to the bathroom too but I didn't want to just thinking about how much colder it would be outside of the bed. But I went anyway, and my goodness, that toilet seat was like sitting on ice! I shivered my way back to the bed and I kept on shaking and I think it lasted for a long time until I finally fell back asleep.
In the morning was horrible too, I was still so cold. Then my stomach hurt real bad and I was so nauseated.
Two days later, I still have the symptoms and I made a ginger tea from this recipe I found from google, because since ginger is supposed to help with digestive, stomach pain/problems. I improvised by adding jujubes and lemon peels. Jujubes are supposed to help you distress, and I felt like being fancy too. hehehe.
This is what they look like
Ingredients: ginger (as much as you want), about 2 quarts of water, Jujubes (I added 7 for luck), lemon peels
Directions: combine all ingredients into a pot and bring it to a boil and continue for 10-25 min, depending on your preference of the intensity of the ginger...it can get pretty spicy. I think I boiled for about 15...? Add honey and/or lemon juice to taste and drink up for that stomachache!
Super easy! I am going to be bottling this up and drinking it wherever I go until this sickness goes away. Ugh and I have to carry a bag with me everywhere too because I feel like throwing up so often.
You know what makes me really mad? I went to the gym and I couldn't do anything but sit on the stationary bike, pedaling very slowly, because I felt so sick to move.
I even took Nutrex Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate (Pre-Workout) and I was really excited.... ): Don't worry though, I only took 1/3 of the scoop! Ooh, by the way, got it free of charge from Nutrex, so I can write a review! Thank you Nutrex! (: So watch out for that, it should be coming soon!
I learned a lot from being sick though! I learned about pressure points that relieves nausea, which is the 'webbing' between your index finger and thumb. Theres many more, I like to call it the 'elbow pit'...or the inside of your elbows, or one finger length below your knee. I have been doing it constantly, and I think it's working! Another thing I learned is never to say I am so nauseous! Apparently it is one of the most mistaken things people say. It means that you make people throw up! haha. So you should say I have nausea, or I am nauseated.
Till next time,
E
p.s. I have one follower! Thank you Brandon Brown!
Glad your feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the comment for the 15 dollar store on my blog. It would be helpful for my readers to know if I have had a good experience with any of the stores I post about.
I have ordered from $15 store in the past and had a good experience. I just wish shipping would be around $5, instead of $10!
Have a great day!
Oh...I'll have to try some of those pressure points next time I'm sick!
