So today I would like to talk about getting sick in Japan and what my experience was like. So I started to feel ill the night I got back from Universal Studios Japan. I felt like I needed to throw up and I did. But then I felt like I had to throw up again which to me was weird. At first I thought I just felt bad and not sick because I ate more than I can and ended up riding rides that will make me puke after that. I usually feel a lot better after I throw up but I didn't. Then from what I remember, I think my mom realized that I was sick.
The next day, I just relaxed and stayed at my grandma's house, hoping I'll feel better. I felt worse though. I had to throw up a few times and having to walk felt very painful. I had no appetite so I basically just ate jelly. I ended up making a mistake of eating some chips because I thought I felt a little better which made me feel worse. My mom called my grandma from my dad's side since she was a pharmacist and asked what kind of illness I might have. From what I was told, the illness I had was something that was spreading.
I still felt like crap that night so the next day I went to a local hospital and had to have a Intravenous therapy. The cost for the hospital trip was 100 dollars and it was cheaper than I expected since the U.S is more expensive when it comes to going to hospitals with no insurance.
During my last days of being in Japan, I began to feel better. I didn't have much of an appetite though but still, I didn't feel like I had to puke. I never figured out what I exactly had but I'm assuming that it was a stomach flu of some sort.
