A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
For 6 days, I’ve been feeling really sluggish… with fever, lots of phlegm, cough, a throbbing head and a runny nose. Despite having finished my antibiotics and meds, I am still feeling under the weather. My skin is also very dry and the skin round my mouth and nose is red, dry and painful…. caused…
Thanks to everyone who commented in my earlier post – thanks for your advice and suggestions. After popping 2 more Panadol Actifast last night and slept at 10:30pm (which was considered very early for me), the throbbing pain on my head, teeth and jaw is gone today. I could even jog for half an hour and…
Me, it’s me being bitten real hard by the cold bug again, the dunno how many umpteenth times in 2 months. Never have I been this weak and susceptible to coughs and colds in my life. This time it’s pretty bad again. The phlegm is dark green, thick and sometimes hard too! Ewwww…. and it smells foul…
….by the urut lady (Malay masseuse) yesterday. Yesterday, the urut lady who used to urut me after the birth of Baby C last year came to urut me. I was enjoying the good massage when suddenly, I felt some pain at my lower abdomen. She told me that my uterus had ‘jatuh ke bawah’ (fallen…
After coughing like a TB sufferer for almost a week, my right ribs hurt as if someone had just given me a good punch on the ribcage. It’s so painful that I have to hold my right ribcage and cringe each time I cough. Jogging has also been torturous for me as my ribcage would…
My throat still hurts and I am coughing like someone who has TB. My phlegm is still greenish yellowish and my eyes are really red. Each time I have a really bad bout of upper respiratory infection, my eyes would get red and swollen too. According to hubby’s uncle who is a surgeon, I have…
My throat still hurts today and I am also coughing with lots of thick yellow phlegm. I don’t have much appetite to eat, so I just drank some soup and ate half a cup of organic yoghurt for lunch. The Chinese say that snow fungus is good for the lungs so I boiled a pot…
I am still feeling a tad sluggish today, since yesterday. I am quite definite all my symptoms are stress related – the headache, the nausea, gassy and bloated tummy, feeling lethargic (lack of sleep coz I keep pulling myself up from bed twice a night to change Baby C’s diapers) and feeling really crabby. Don’t know why…
Nothing makes you feel bad enough than living with the guilt that you had hurt your own child. On the day that Baby C was hospitalized for yet another UTI attack and had to be put on IV drips last Friday, I had accidentally cut her flesh whilst trimming her finger nails. They say that sometimes when it…
I finally moved my butt after being kicked by hubby several times and made an appointment to see a gynae today. I was supposed to see the gynae who delivered my 3 gals for a follow-up ultrasound scan of my uterus to see if the fibroid (which was detected during my yearly check-up before I…
