I did not survive Bali Belly 🥲

I took all the precautions I heeded, from brushing my teeth only from bottled water (god heavens this was so tedious and very water consuming with aligners on), and ordering bottled aqua drinks and occasional fruit drinks or coconut water on high end cafes or restaurants. Throughout the 9 days all was good and I was getting abit more confident thinking that Bali Belly curse will never get to me... until a day after I landed on SG. LOL

I was puking 7-8 times in the morning more than I diarrhea from my rear end... 3 times. Each time I try to sleep I'm woken up by my mouth salivating to puke more of whatever that's left inside me. Took charcoal pills just to puke it out and the bitter taste of it makes me vomit it out even more (yuck). I did teleconsultation with the dr (was too weak to physically go out) and she said its best for me to go down physical clinic. She said my blood pressure might be low because I seemed to be swaying back and forth to consciousness and she advised me to get someone to company me down to the clinic wirh me.

So I dragged myself down to the clinic with my dad. After an hour or so, I finally met the doctor and she asked if I wanted the jab, wihout hesitation I gave my resounding yes and approval. I needed it soo so badly to finally not trash my guts out and feel some relief. The injection was painful but not as tormentous of what I was going through throughout my morning. Took a while before it settled down but I was still lacking of appetite. Was prescribed some medications and antibiotics and was discharged.

I was lucky compared to my dear friends who was one, warded into the hospital because she couldn't keep her fluids in and the other was having fever, vomiting & diarrhea through out the night. At least mine had a 1 day delay before my body gave way in the morning lool.

I thought to myself maybe its because of the ice in the mocktail we all drank that was inclusive with buffet together with the bali dance perfoemance show? Or its because its the buffet food we ate was left out in the open air and my dad did advised to not eat food that isnt hot anymore. Or maybe we got hypnotised by the bali performance show and all the bad energy was forcefully cleansed out of our body? Needless to say, the food was delicious (yoinks), trip was great, or maybe my body just did not want to be back here in SG.
