The Efficacy of Paracetamol

I had this lunch which tasted like a multiple nightmares shoved into the same bowl. My sister decided to make a "healthy lunch" for her school project or w/e, and parents were more than happy to play along. Naturally I was made to eat whatever the fuck she had prepared, but it was so disgusting I actually felt quite sick afterwards.

At first it started off relatively normal- just sliced bananas and grapes mixed in yoghurt. Then cherry tomatoes were added, which made it a little gross because why the fuck would you put tomatoes in a fruit salad. But of course it wasn't a real fruit salad it was my 6 year old sister's school project, so naturally she added basil leaf, lettuce, seasoned olives, raw sliced carrots and French salad dressing into the whole mix. If I were a cow with no taste buds I might not object- but my gums were still inflamed from my wisdom teeth, and the whole thing was disgusting anyway.

I held my breath and finished the whole thing, making me think I'd have a decent chance at contests where I'd have to eat random stuff. Then I retreated into my room, and 5 min later I felt like I was going to throw up. I tried to wash the taste out of my mouth with water- but I could feel a lump of food down my food pipe, and I knew I hadn't chewed it properly because my gums hurt and because I held my breath so it was hard to chew for long. I spent about 30 minutes struggling with the almost vomiting then not actually vomiting thing, then I was hit so hard by this sudden burst of abdominal pain I almost doubled over.

I drove to the shops to buy some paracetamol, because I don't need a prescription and the pain was, figuratively speaking (or so I hope), killing me. I think I must've held the darkest, moodiest expression on my face, because the whole time I just felt this dull ache and I wondered whether my guts were eating itself. Paracetamol was surprisingly cheap- it was like 70 cents for 20 tablets.

As soon as I took the tablet I felt a lot better- but that was probably due to the act of drinking water, because 2 min later the pain grew worse. I started searching the internet for "average length of suffering before paracetamol tablets work" and found that apparently a lot of times paracetamol doesn't work and a lot of people get acute liver failure from overdose.

Luckily for me the pain went away eventually- so I assume the tablet is working. Then it came back and I think I'm going to need more drugs before I feel better. I don't know how much of my "indigestion" is caused by me being completely grossed out by what I ate, but yeah it feels terrible.

I'm going to be addicted to paracetamol at this rate.
