Day 27

I'm sick >.<

I'll catch up on my posts soon, promise.

UPDATE
So I am actually catching up on my blog posts. Most of my days have consisted in being sick and passing out in short order.

Day 27, Monday, was fairly quiet at work and I was quite thankful for that. I didn't eat for the majority of the day because I couldn't really stomach anything. I am wondering, however, if my lowered/vulnerable immune system is a long term effect of my vegetarianism. I have heard a variety of rumours in regards to this, but I've heard the complete opposite as well., Nonetheless, I have been attempting to eat better and more often, which, I hope shouldn't affect my health or skew my experiment. Though in all fairness, I've been sickness-less and healthy for a while now, I may just be that I finally caught some kind of strange cold or flu.

I drank lots of fluids and consistently took a combination of vitamin C, echinacea and Tylenol to keep my fever low and to dull the aches in my body. The cook also suggested I drink lots of Lemon Grass tea, which is apparently good for a cold/flu and she gave me a strange Brazilian solution/extract. I have no idea what it was, but it was strong and I had to place it under my tongue. I also had to drink some water immediately afterwards; though it seems that it did soothe my throat a bit, which was nice.

Chinese/Taiwanese have many odd remedies and cures, in a way, it's part of their culture, so I'm not entirely surprised when they offer me foreign, strange smelling (or tasting) solutions, balms and concoctions. I just accept it and hope it works.

I still feel like crap so hopefully I'll begin to feel better tomorrow.
