Damn it, I have a few very small ulcers at the corner of my mouth and it is very painful. Everything I move my lips, I can feel it rubbing against my mouth and the pain comes. And although they are pretty small sized ulcers but they are very painful. And they get really swollen and bloated every time after I eat something. Probably the food and the extra movement of the mouth is the cause of this. But what to do? I have to eat no matter what! Don’t you just love it when ulcers appear at the most inconvenient places like the corner of your mouth? I always wonder why this happens. Perhaps this is Karma and it is punishing me for doing bad things. Or perhaps I am just watching too much “My Name Is Earl” TV shows?
Well, the ulcers look ugly. Small in size, but you can see the greenish pus looking thing in the centre of the sore. This is an eyesore. Anyone looking at me will know that there is something wrong at the corner mouth. Plus, the “bloated” and “swollen” part makes the ulcers look more obvious. Now it looks like it is spreading. Just a few days ago, there were like 2 small ulcers, now it looks like they have combined and one more is appearing at the side. Looks like they are reproducing like those bacteria you see on the microscope! Do you guys know why and how does ulcers spread? I have been using the medication every few hours but it doesn’t seem to work for me. Now, I am trying out my mother’s traditional method of putting salted plums “juice” on the ulcers. God, the pain!
I think the reason why I am having ulcers could be because I am stressed. My work load lately have doubled and my boss is putting a lot of pressure on me to get my work done in time and correctly. Don’t these people know these two are mutually exclusive! And if he keeps on breathing down my neck, I am not going to get anything done in time. That and my company is facing some “restructuring” and financial problems. That has gotten me very worried about my job security. Oh well, I guess this is the kind of life that we will all be facing in Singapore soon.
Anyway, I hope that my ulcers will be gone soon. I want to eat heaty stuff because when I am stressed I need food.
