Tuesday Day 27
Wednesday Day 28
Haven’t written for a couple of days as I have been laid up
with stomach issues. I woke up on Tuesday lacking in the usual appetite and
managed to have some cereal for breakfast mainly in order to take medicine
(Miracid 30 minutes before breakfast and Arcoxia after eating). Things got progressively
worse although I did have a bowl of fried rice for lunch. immediately after
eating however I felt nauseous and retreated to the bathroom to be sick. I vomited
a small amount and then tried to sleep but to no avail. Dinner time came and I had
a chicken sandwich and had the same result as lunch. I went to bed earlier but
had a horrible nights with intermittent sleep and nightmares when I did drop
off.
I woke on Wednesday feeling slightly better and managed a couple
of pieces of toast to aid with the medicine. My nausea remained and I contacted
the hospital pharmacy to see if they could recommend anything over the counter
that would help. They recommended Alum Milk a mixture of Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide. It has helped but I have still been
experiencing waves of nausea throughout the day. I had a sandwich for lunch and
this has stayed down. I can’t really face any dinner so am going to bed early
and hope for a better day tomorrow. I am aware that Arcoxia can cause stomach
upset but I have been taking it throughout my recovery and not experienced any
issues. Now having reduced all medication apart from Miracid (which should in
theory alleviate any issues) and Arcoxia I am wondering if I should consult
with the doctor to see if this is normal. I may have eaten something that didn’t
agree with me as can be common in Thailand but I don’t recall eating anything
particularly unpleasant.
