Chemical Reactions in the Physics of Refrigeration

Today's not good. I dunno if the physics of refrigeration has something to do with it. My hormones are emitting chemicals that are reacting unfavorably with the rest of my system. Hence, muscle tissues near the abdomenal area are contracting rapidly, transmitting hypersensitivity through the nerve cells that is then translated by the brain as something painful. 500mg of mefenamic acid seemed to have triggered a chemical change in my digestive juices, raising the the level of acidity to 5 or 6 in the pH scale. The high acidity also caused another chemical change as various gases developed. This mixture of acid and gastric chemicals in the tummy added up to the discomfort. Drowning them with neutral-based rice grains and squid elicited a powerful initial reaction as more compounds are added to the mixture. Eventually, things settled down and the increased quantity of distilled water consumed, helped relax my aweful state.
