Another Attack

This was a post written last June 18, 2009…

I thought I was giving birth yesterday. From 6am to 12nn, I was suffering from extreme stomach pain accompanied by high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. The hubby took the kids to school, but I called him a little before lunch begging him to take me to the E.R. I didn’t know how much longer I could endure the pain.  By the time he got home, I was in fetal position and could barely move. It took me a full 30 minutes to get dressed.

It might as well could’ve been written today.  I had another gastroenteritis attack yesterday.  Just like that time in June 2009 and in January 2010 after Cebu Marathon.  The scenario was exactly the same.  The pain just as hellish.  It’s the kind of pain that I hate remembering and pray to God I won’t have to undergo again.

At the moment, I’m still feeling awfully weak. My blood pressure yesterday was 100/70.  I feel like I’ve just run 3 consecutive marathons, that’s how tired I am.  There will be no runs this week and just a whole lot of sleeping (and a bit of working…ack!)

  10. Get well soon Jaymie. I had that kind of stomach pain also when I’m stressed at work. Take care and have a good rest.

  11. There are usually signs before it strikes. You have to start listening to your body take the day off or rest before it strikes.

    Healthy new year to you.

  13. Seems like you have a hyper-acidic stomach, if serious conditions are ruled out. It does recur, so better stay away from caffeinated, citrus and fuzzy beverages.
