Heatstroke

Weather is really erratic. While last week was generally cooling with some rains, from Sunday onwards it was BLAZING HOT! It's like the Sun is barbecuing the earth.
Oblivious to the change of weather (we thought it was just another sunny day, as always) we did not take enough precaution.

I had headache from Sunday morning that lasted 2 days, and the heatiness gave me pimples and ulcers (ouch)- I had to skip Black Pepper crab last night - ow! The ulcers lasted me about 4 days including today. But yesterday was the worst and I went panicky. I drank lots of water, and Luo Han Guo + Coconut juice. That cooled me by a lot (but I had coffee too). Today I had lots of water too and I took Oldenlandia water + salt. I hope that by tomorrow the ulcer will be history.

WZ had fever after he was out in the sun. Suspected of heat stroke too. Mom & sister had headache too. It seems that this season's heat is rather extreme. And it also seems that we have to start drinking lots of water at any time.

But moral of the story: don't wait till you have ulcer to take action! And drink plenty of those cooling drinks. I still stand by Coconut juice & luohanguo.
