Gastritis

This illness is dragging too long for my patience.. It’s going to be almost 4 weeks!

I feel terrible, as if someone is holding a spade and digging out my stomach. I am not very able to concentrate on my work and anything else. I am frequently pressing lightly onto my stomach so that the warmth from my hand may provide some temporary relief to the gnawing pain.

And I am scared. I have been prescribed some stronger medication and hopefully I will recover. My doctor seems pretty scared too. Haha. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying that I will be healed soon. If not, I have to go for an endoscope. Something like a long thin hose that will be inserted through my throat into my stomach so that the doctor can see what’s going on. That sounds very scary. And I do not want to go for that nor a barium test either. So, God, please heal me!

The most horrible thing is I cannot eat well. I have to keep to bland soups and plain biscuits. No milk, no spicy food, no fried food, no soft drinks, no chocolates, no this no that. Erm, where’s the variety in life if you cant taste all types of food? I can tolerate short term abstinence but this is a dreary drag.

God, please heal me. I am pleading already.

Sigh, the scariest thing is if my gastritis does not heal, it may be an underlying cause of gastric ulcer. That’s the ultimate. Thinking of all these and cringing each time the pain spasms come is making me want to cry.

God, please heal me. NOW?
