Saved by chocolate

Had a bad bout of cramps this month, an unusual attack as the last time I had it that bad was in junior college, where I puked in the school toilet and Mom had to fetch me home.

 

It must be the amount of coffee I've been drinking here. Caffeine worsens the cramp. That includes green tea too.

 

I used to take chocolate to relieve the pain but have been avoiding it cos it gives me an outbreak almost immediately. But it was so bad and I didn't have Ponstan in the house, so the only thing I did was to fix a a cocoa drink. Surprisingly, it helped a lot... and almost immediate relief too.

 

(Also used the new Starbucks mug to keep it warm. Oh yes, I got sold into the whole Starbucks culture here, coffee and mug and all the Christmas coffee editions and hence the overdose of caffeine!!)

 

Now I shall pray that this week will pass by really quickly so that I can get back to my normal life...
