Headache, Fever, Muscle Ache... what not?

Been having headache quite regularly now and wondering why. Headache has a paralysing effect, as in it numbs your limbs and body with the massive throbbing at the top. The form that hits me these days come with an appetizer dish..... nausea. I dont know if it is migraine but it certainly is ugly. Panadol tabs are my frequent companion.

Last evening was horrible. Tried to record mandarin version for china echo in the afternoon and managed to finish at 5 plus. Headache was present from 2pm and trusty panadol didnt seem to work. Felt like throwing out and really really lousy. Took a short rest on the bed till 8pm (rest was laced with multiple blurry wakeup) . Feeling hungry, went downstairs for dinner. It was Pork Chop from Bt Timah Hawker Centre (not Tom's kitchen tho.... btw, we ran out of food supply so had to buy in). Remember what Shing, Lem & Iz used to say to eat more and so i forced myself to finish the two pieces of meat. Plus coleslaw, baked beans. Got to leave majority of the fries out. AAAHHH..... felt even worse. Really want to throw out. The headache was killing me. Took 2 more tabs but i could not lay my head to rest due to full stomach. Wanted to buy those nursery fever tabs on the head but too sick to ask Irene to do it. Decided to keep smelling my Thai "inhaler" equivalent to Vicks.

What did i do next? Cannot read anything.... words seem to overlap. Decided to do one thing that i have been procrastinating since i bought long time ago......watch Wonder Woman DVD! Reason? Simple. It was yesteryear's show. Simple dialogue and no need to think too hard to follow story line. Plus my childhood heroine (which has absolutely nothing to do with the nick elderly seah gave). Watching this DVD will keep me in an upright position to release the full stomach. Cant even go for walk. Every stress or deep thoughts brought pain to the head. And perhaps the simple fascinating tale of my heroine will take away the thought of the persistent headache and nausea.

Sat on the only chair with proper backrest in my bed room.... the 5k OTO Massage Chair. Whoa....it was pain throughout. The back and the bums..... it was so hard. If i turn on the machine, will definitely throw out coz i never like massage chair. They make me sick. Btw, this is Dr Lowly's chair. He loved it. And so, i had to shift to lean on my left side throughout the show. Talk about addiction...... watched 5 episodes and didnt realise the time. Headache was less intense and when i finally finished, it was 1am! Guess this is comparable to ChangJing for Shing :)

Woke up this morning with multiple muscle ache on my upper torso, especially the right side. Cannot breathe too hard or deeply coz it is like tearing into my flesh. Cant even cough or sneeze without pain. Cant sing too :( Aiyo....this is what i call Deserving Ache. Pray it will go off tomorrow or sooner.

On hindsight, guess i didnt pray to God when i had pain. Did all the needful but forgot to pray. Argh.... and now the aching punishment.

Fever is back this afternoon. Dont know why. No flu or cough. Looks like panadol is here to stay in my life......... Oh God, help me.

goodness... i think you need a good health check-up with all these frequent headaches and fevers. i think we 'chiong' too much so much so we neglected our 'engines' in body, not forgetting we are already in our 40s, not 20s leh. and you better stop taking those panadols, popping them like 'sweets'. they are already of not much help to you now.

and i must add that you have lost too much weight...
