Dad brought me to the UST hospital this morning. I had an appointment with his gastroenterolgist but the doctor is still in Germany. The substitute physician is a young lady- she's very nice.
I have acid reflux... Gastroesophageal reflux. It has something to do with the sphincter of my stomach that stops the acid in the stomach from climbing up my mouth. I have to drink this medicine that will help in controlling the acid flow in my stomach. I'm not allowed to drink coffee and eat spicy and oily foods. I have another appointment in two weeks to see if the condition of my heartburn and sour taste in the mouth will improve. If not, they'll prescribe me with another medicine that will speed up the movement of the acid from my stomach to the small intestines. Sounds pretty complicated, my sister said. But I am glad to hear I'm not dying yet (I still haven't watched Arashi in a concert dammit!) haha.
THANK GOD I'M NOT SERIOUSLY ILL! ~♥
I've was so scared that I'll be diagnosed with something incurable or fatal that I've been putting down my family's offer of taking me to a doctor and my lovable friends' advice of having myself checked.
Life is definitely good. =)
just another day...
