Hemorrhoid, came across this word when I was checking my bulk folder, one of the emails was a medicine for hemorrhoid. Got curious and searched for the term online. Hemorrhoids are varicosities or swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus. Caused by straining during bowel movement, hypertension, obesity, excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine, heart disorders, pveruse of laxatives, age, and so much more.
It has two types: internal and external; external hemorrhoids is characterized by itching, burning, and irritation while internal hemorrhoids is characterized by rectal bleeding and pain. it reminded me of my mentor during my practice teaching. She said she had problems with her rectum, especially during bowel movement, traces of blood are visible on the tissue paper and its painful for her to thoroughly cleanse that area.
At one point she even bled during bowel movement, she did mention some sort of medication and medical terms I never fully understood but I think from reading what I can gather online that this is what she’s suffering from. hemorrhoids, her children in the US take turns to send her meds … almost all of them are not available here.
If I see her again, she has long since retired from teaching, I’d recommend this site to her so she can have her children check them out on possible alternatives to her condition.
Saturday shift, I find myself sitting in the coldest station imaginable … even Creepy one complained that its too cold. During his first break I asked him to smuggle sandwich inside, I was terribly hungry last I’ve eaten was Friday morning I think, burger and fries. So when he came back I gobbled the food like there’s no tomorrow heheheh … what followed after was indescribable pain and the strong feeling of throwing up.
Unable to contain it any longer, went on unsched break informed a team lead I’ll be going to the clinic and head straight to the restroom, where I puked everything out. What I just ate and tons and tons of liquid, but that didn’t stop the pain and was so exhausted with all the puking I sat on the restroom floor and wished for the floor to just open up and consume me. Wiped my mouth and mustered the courage to go down to the clinic where the freakin nurse asked me if am pregnant after telling her my predicament. Grrr…told her that’s impossible coz we practice safe sex … hated her ever since she slept while talking to me sometime ago … wished for the Gates of Hades to just consume her.
Anyways she gave me tablets am skeptical to take knowing she’s careless at times. Went back to the floor as if nothing happened. Was over break for 15 minutes but no one seemed to notice which was exactly what I hoped for. This is not the first I’ve been throwing up whatever I ate in the past few months though they occur at random and not every time I eat, only two to three times a week but they were never accompanied by stomach pains.
Never thought of myself as bulimic till now … I don’t indulge in binge-eating, heck I hardly eat at all … and when I do eat I never felt guilty bout it. But the puking is one characteristic of bulimia and not only mom but other people from work, our nosy neighbors noticed my sudden lose of weight. I don’t force myself to throw up, it just comes, a couple of minutes after eating. Not every time I eat but twice or thrice a week, haven’t given it much thought till Saturday … the pain was scary.
We’ll see … would count the instances I’d threw up this week. Wafa is getting bigger while am getting thinner … truly, opposite attracts.
