Title: Sick
Post by: ChuckJ on March 13, 2013, 01:15:00 PM
When i went to bed Sunday night I was feeling a little queazy. I woke up Monday morning at about 4 AM sick as hell. I took some Phenergan, but it didn't help.

I suffered through it all day Monday and Tuesday. By Tuesday night my fever had went down and I felt better. I woke up Wednesday morning around 12:30 AM sick as hell again. I guess my fever was back because it had the chills. When I went to the bathroom I was shaking so bad it looked like I was having some sort of seizure. I took another Phenergan, and it didn't help.

By 6 this morning I was puking and my stomach was running off.

I finally gave in to my wife's demands and went to the ER around 7 this morning. They gave me something that was supposed to help with nausea. It did help, but now it's wearing off. I'm not suppose to take another one until 4 this afternoon.

I had the flu in January, and it was nasty!
Then I got a killer cold in February. It was the kind the beat the daylights outa me.
March has been OK so far.

So its just your turn. I was there, I can sympathize. Been there. GET WELL SOON, and see a doctor! Doctors give out the good drugs.

According to the after care instructions they are calling it Gastroenteritis which is apparently a fancy word for stomach virus. The ER doc said that there had been a big influx of it in our area for the last few days. I've just never had anything like this that has lasted this long. I've also never felt like I was getting well then get way worse in just a few hours.

I feel better now, but it seems to come and go.

Yep, the flu really sucks big time, especially when you think it's over but it isn't.

BTW: I drink lots of watered down gatoraide for it......and lot's of sleep.

That sounds rough, hope you feel better soon.  Whenever I've had the stomach bug, I crave Lipton noodle soup.  The one that's made from a box. (Not those little instant packets)

I think it's because of the lack of sodium.  You lose a lot of electrolites from vomiting and what else comes with a stomach flu.

I crave Campbell's tomato soup, made with milk instead of water. (Cream of tomato, I guess.)

Hope you're better soon!  My son came down with this a few weeks ago -- was throwing up and had extreme diarrhea (sorry!) for 6 hours (all night).  Got him to the doctor who told us to go to the ER as he couldn't even keep water down and was severely dehydrated.  The ER pumped 2 bags of fluids and anti-nausea drugs into him via IV.  Nasty flu!!

I'm still alive. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't feel this bad otherwise.
