I don’t know why it happened to me once again. The last time I had it for sure was last year and boy it’s so painful! And the most recent is today and I almost cry. I couldn’t even walk well. :(

My friend told me that it means I am lack of exercise. I don’t exercise and that’s a fact. Even if this happened, it won’t change a thing. :P

I found the great source about leg cramps. It says:

What causes leg cramps?Listen to section

Unknown cause (idiopathic leg cramps)
In most cases the cause is not known. One theory is that cramps occur when a muscle that is already in a shortened position is stimulated to contract. As the muscle is already shortened, to contract further may cause the muscle to go into spasm. This commonly happens at night in bed as the natural position we lie in is with the knees slightly bent (flexed), and with feet pointing slightly downwards. In this position the calf muscle is relatively shortened and prone to cramps. This theory explains why stretching exercises may cure the problem.

Secondary causes
In some cases, the cramps may be a symptom of another condition or problem. For example:

  • Some medicines can cause cramps as a side-effect, or make cramps occur more often. These include: diuretics (‘water tablets’), nifedipine, cimetidine, salbutamol, terbutaline, lithium, clofibrate, penicillamine, morphine (withdrawal), phenothiazines, and nicotinic acid.
  • Over-exertion of muscles.
  • Dehydration.
  • Conditions that cause alterations in the balance of salts in the bloodstream (such as a high or low sodium or potassium level).
  • Some people who have renal (kidney) dialysis get leg cramps.
  • Pregnancy – usually in the later stages.
  • An untreated under-active thyroid gland.
  • Peripheral vascular disease (narrowing of the leg arteries which causes poor circulation).
  • Cirrhosis of the liver is a rare cause.
  • Lead poisoning.
  • Sarcoidosis.
  • Rare disorders of nerves.
  • Excess alcohol

Well, finally…everything’s ok with me now. No more tonsillitis and sore eyes for me anymore. Yippee!

Oh how can I not thank those who helped me with these sickness? So I will take this oportunity to thank the 3 antibiotics, 10 Ibuprofen Advils, 1 Paracetamol and 1 tube of Eye Mo Drops. :D

Thank you so much for helping me get through this. :P

I hope they’ll never come back anymore. So happy to drink cold drinks once again after four days of drinking none-cold one. ;)

Why me sore eyes? Why me tonsillitis? Huhuhuhuhu

What have i done to deserve this? Why Me? :(

It’s been four days since I had my tonsillitis and till now my throat is aching. I really do hope that tomorrow this will be ok, since I took medicines twice already. However, while waiting for it to heal…my eyes begin to turn red. :(

Yes I have sore eyes, though it’s only my left eye that has it (sore eye? whatever). I don’t know why I have one since I thought that sore eyes only happen during summer season. Oh well, WHATEVER! I really hate thinking that sooner two of my eyes will get infected. :(

I really really hope that these two will heal within this week. Hay, I’m so depress..

Here I am…Staying at home alone..Listening to the rhythm of the pouring rain. Sitting in front of Mr ACER and feeling depress..Sad because I’m here while my friends are there enjoying their videoke gala performances. What about me? I practiced my piece for days already and it’ll gone, for nothing! You know why? Waaahhhhh!!! I have TONSILLITIS!!!!!!

And it’s killing me really!  This itchy and soaring throat is really killing me! And there’s no one to blame but these frosts that I drank last Thursday. So my friend Paul and I dated (naks!) no! we just had dinner at this famous JD resto. I ordered chicken with rice and oh the ever seductive Mocha Frost (tse!). I had a great time sipping on the straw playing with the whip cream and really love it! Since I ordered that before I really felt at ease and worried nothing. It’s just my favorite. Even if when my friends and I go to a videoke house, I always order that one, for always. Anyway, after we’re done eating, we went to SM City to pay my bills (CC and cable tv bills). After strolling, we decided to go to a coffee shop. There I again ordered…tantararan!…Strawberry Margarita Frost! Hello frosty! Haha…I really love it since it’s strawberry with a taste of coffee and I don’t know where that coffee flavor came from. I love it to the extent that I even grabbed Paul’s order. :D

After hours of sitting, sipping and listening to the band, we decided to leave with friend Amy. At the office… I felt thirsty, only to realize that sh*t I have no mug..I forgot my (Snow White) mug! Waaahhhh!!!What will i do????

I searched for the goodies in our pantry, hayz, no bottled water, just juices. Do I have a choice? None! So I had one bottled juice, pineapple flavored. Damn it! So sweet! Sweeter that the Frosts! After hours, I noticed something itchy and sore on my throat, i felt pain when I swallow, but I disregarded it to think that it was nothing. I hurriedly finished the juice and filled the bottle with water. Though I already drank 1 bottle of it still, the pain never gone…

Until now, Sunday! When I woke up, I felt something on my yeah throat on the left side. I then checked it, to see what it looks like on the mirror. To my surprise, I saw my tonsils, swollen with white spots and it looks really like this.  Poor me, I then told my mother about it and she let my Sis in law bought an antibiotic. After I took the med, still nothing is changing, the pain never goes away. I waited..waited..and waited…still nothing happened. Until I decided to take an Advil (since it’s an Ibuprofen), but still, nothing is really happening..Waaahhhh!!! I want to cry…

I hope this will get better tomorrow…Wish me luck! :(

*To Mocha Frost, Strawberry Margarita Frost and that pineapple juice…I HATE YOU! Please don’t ever  seduce me again! Hmp!
