ozzsome linjin.

one is this. one is that. which is the one that is correct?

I’ve been having stomachache for the past 4 days! FOUR DAYS! You know how long is that! And it is like, non-stop pain. OMG THE PAIN!!!

So, what happened?

Presenting, the 3-episode long series: SHITTY DAYS! Starring Lin Jin and Clarithromycin!

Episode 1

Lin Jin went to the polyclinic to get some medicine as his flu didn’t get better after a week. Besides, his phlegm was full of blood, for some queer reason. The doctor gave him some medicine, including a rather potent antibiotic called Clarithromycin. Why such a potent antibiotic? Well, the doctor was probably paranoid after Lin Jin told him there was fresh blood in his phlegm. Blood from mouth = AHHH!

So everything was fine, Lin Jin’s flu got better, no more blood, and he lived happily ever after.

Episode 2

Oh wait, there is a episode 2? Duh.

On the night of 14th August, Saturday, Lin Jin’s stomach began to hurt after dinner. It was a mild, dull pain, similar to the feeling of gastric pain that you get for not eating your food on time. Except that this time he had the pain AFTER having his dinner. Weird to the max, no? Thinking it will go away after some time, he took some China medicine that his mum claimed to be effective and went to bed. =D

Only to wake up the next morning realizing that the pain did not subside, but instead, intensify. =( Worried, he went to a private clinic and waited 2 damn hours before he got his consultation. After poking various areas of his abdomen, the doctor concluded that it might be a case of food poisoning, and so the doctor gave him some medicine, including ANOTHER antibiotic that is of no importance in this story.

Lin Jin asked the doctor if he should continue taking Clarithromycin, and doctor said it should be fine.

So, Lin Jin took his medication, and lived happily ever after. For real. Seriously.

Episode 3

Yeah, that’s what he thought too. After taking the medicine, the pain should subside, right? Right? RIGHT?

Nope. Zip. Zilch. Nada. The pain got worse on 17 August, Tuesday (today). And he made 4 trips to the toilet cause of his diarrhea. Poor Lin Jin. What a shitty day indeed.

In fact, it was so freaking darn painful, he got himself a blue slip and went to see the doctor. This time round, after another round of poke-the-abdomen-fiesta, the doctor concluded that Clarithromycin might be the cause.

How? Well, Clarithromycin, while killing all the bad germs/viruses/crap, also killed some of the beneficial bacteria in his stomach. As a result, he would experience TREMENDOUS pain, especially after a meal. The doctor then prescribed him another pile of medicines, as well as a 2-day MC.

Here are the new additions to his medical diet: hysocine butylbrom eq buscopan, lacteol forte, magnesium carbonate mixture, charcoal & omeprazole. (Charcoal is supposed to absorb toxins in the body, but.. just feel so weird eating it. Bleh.)

So, will Lin Jin be able to get rid of his ridiculous stomachache? Or will the pain persist? Will the totem top start wobbling and toppl… oh wait, that’s Inception. SPOILER! TEEHEE.

TO BE CONTINUED?

Ciao.

Finally, the day has come, the RAFFLES SYMPHONIC BAND blog!

Haha, I think I have spent way too much modifying the design of the blog. I could have slept SO much earlier last night! Bleh.

Whatever. It looks good now. Now I just need people to fill in the content! Anyone?
