Sick

[dreamflower]

Last night I was so sick.

TMI: (for grossness)

Last night after supper, it started out with an old-fashioned belly-ache; then I got the runs, which I had all night long in spite of taking OTC Imodium. I kept burping these horrible sulfuric tasting belches, and my stomach was making awful growly noises, but in spite of feeling nauseous as heck, I never threw up. (I think if I had, I might have felt better.) I don't think it was anything I ate. *sigh* I guess it's a bug of some sort. The DH said I had a temp, so I took some Tylenol, and got a little sleep. The runs have somewhat tapered off this morning, though not gone. But I haven't felt like eating anything at all.

Naturally I had to call in to work today. I'm going to force myself to eat something bland--maybe some plain toast and a glass of milk, otherwise I'll get a headache.  Then I may try to sleep a little more. Wish I felt up to writing or something...

Oh, poor you! *hugs gently* *pours comforting cup of tea* I can imagine how wretched you're feeling. I hope it's going away soon and you will feel much better!

Hoo boy, that's no fun! Tea and toast sounds like the right prescription!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Aw. That does sound like a bug of some kind. I hope you feel better soon!

Yikes, you had quite a night. I hope the worst is over and you feel better soon.

I had that bug two weeks ago, floored me for two days.. Eeeks hit enter too soon!

Get well soon honey: rest and sleep a lot!

What an awful night! I hope you can sleep, and wake up feeling a bit better.

*gentle hugs*

*hugs* I hope you will soon be better. *hugs*

But I don't advise milk - it can make things even worse. Tea is better idea. ;)

*gentle, soothing snugs, ginger tea, delicate chicken broth, and Elrond to look after you...or would you rather have hobbitses?* :)

She's right. Milk can exacerbate diarrhea and other tummy troubles. Plain toast and a cuppa tea? The tannin in it might help soothe your upset tummy....

I'm sorry you don't feel good, and hope it goes away quickly.

*Hugs*

Hope you soon feel better.

oh no! I hope you are feeling much better already by now! Stomach stuff is the worst! *hugs and sends you some soothing tea*

Out of curiosity, why don't you think it was anything you ate? Sure sounds like food poisoning to me, in particular those sulfurous belches. I never get those with a garden-variety gastrointestinal virus. But food poisoning? Yep.

BUT! Sounds like it is, uh, passing. Feel better soon!

[dreamflower]

Thank you. I am feeling mostly better now.

[dreamflower]

Nope, no fun at all.

[dreamflower]

I am feeling mostly better, though not really ready to run a marathon!

[dreamflower]

I hope the worst is over too, and that I can sleep through the night tonight.

[dreamflower]

I'm feeling a little better now.

[dreamflower]

(((hugs back)))

I am feeling a little better now. I hope I'm all well when I wake up tomorrow.

Actually, it ended up being a little bit of peach sherbert and a few crackers. And tonight I had some chicken soup for supper.

[dreamflower]

Hobbits AND Elrond, thank you! (And I had chicken soup for supper.)

[dreamflower]

It's not totally gone, but it's a lot better than it was.

[dreamflower]

I am feeling better than I was, though I'm still not quite up to snuff.

[dreamflower]

I am mostly better. Thank you, dear! (((hugs back)))

[dreamflower]

Well, mostly because the DH and I had the same things to eat, and he didn't get sick.

I am feeling mostly better. I am hoping I sleep well tonight and am all better in the morning.

[ellynn-ithilwen.livejournal.com]

Chicken soup sounds great. One of my favorite food. :) And it's great for tummy problems.

Suggestion: milk's not easy to digest and may make the runs worse. Toast is OK, but with GI stuff, I'd steer clear of the milk.

[dreamflower]

I ended up having a little ginger ale instead. I seem to be mostly better now, except for being exhausted and sleepy still.

I hope you are completely well again!
Sometimes it takes a while to recover from that sort of thing.
