Cramps
It all started last night when mum decided to have sichuan style hot pot for dinner since it is good for a cold night. We originally ordered the clear soup base but mum wanted the spicy soup base for an additional $3. We then ordered 8 cold dishes so we can dip it into the boiling soup, similar to a fondue. The spicy soup base was very oily and it was more spicy than I had expected, but I kept having it because it would warm me up. The dinner was great and my parents and I had enjoyed it.
Two hours later at home, I started to feel the urge and had diarrhea. I thought I was alright and went to sleep thinking I would be able to work the next day. Eight hours later, I got up and again, felt pain in my stomach and got the urge again. I insisted going to work despite the pain because I didn’t want to get bored at home. When I got to work, I had cereal for breakfast thinking it will make me better if I ate something. Things became worse the next hour, when I started getting abdominal cramps again. Not long after I was assigned another task at work, I felt the urge again and the pain became quite intense. It was like back in year 9 when I suffered from really bad diarrhea and had to stay home because of that. So I gave up and told my manager that I need to take the day off. And I got back home and slept for the next two hours. I drank lots of water and I no longer had any diarrhea in the afternoon. I still feel pain in my abdomen, but it’s a lot less intense.
Cramps are no good. They inhibit my thinking abilities and my movements. And they are bloody annoying
