So, food poisoning. Threw up 7 times, still very strongly nauseous, standing up or sitting down or lying down or just changing my position makes me feel like I'm going to puke (although I have nothing left in my stomach, which is always fun), and I feel like absolute shit. Tired and achey and nauseous but no fever.

A doctor in the family just said I need to take two medicines, one anti-nausea, one antibiotic. Not sure if I really want to take the latter 'cause in the USA, they don't typically prescribe that except in really severe cases.

Also, problem is, I doubt I can hold down a single thing right now, water or medicine or cracker. And I'm thirsty.

*Is frustrated and furious and miserable*

ETA: Okay, feeling a good deal better now. Took medicine and slept for a while. Am almost completely non-nauseous (can hold down tea and chicken broth), and I can move! I just happen to have a fever of around 38 C (around in 100.4 in F) and thus achey muscles. Yick.

...Sad that I'm so happy I only have a fever now. Here's hoping the nausea does not come back.

:-/ I'm really sorry to hear that. Um, in terms of being thirsty, sucking on ice chips might help you keep some liquid down, instead of drinking it all at once.

I hope you feel better really really soon. Retroactively soon, even.

I don't think we have ice chips, but I'm feeling far less nauseous now and can actually hold down liquids. Yay!

Thanks. Hopefully I will. @_@ *Completely non-disease-spreading LJ hugs*

Oh honey, I'm so sorry. Don't overdo eating at all, even bland stuff. Try pieces of ice as someone else mentioned and stay away from too much raw sugar. If nothing else, just sip very cold water.

::hugs::

Thanks for the advice. If only I had gotten this earlier. *Grumbles about airplanes*

I'm more or less better now but was very stupid yesterday and thought, hey, I'm better, let's have ice cream! While on a plane! And my stomach is sore and I get motion sickness!

Oh how I love omnipresent nausea. @_@

*Hugs back*

Yeek, from Olive Garden? Sue the bitches.

That sucks. Just hold up till it passes through your system. Food poisoning is never fun. Just be glad you didn't get it on Christmas eve like I did....... Well New Years or Chanukah in your case. Anyway, you get my point, get better and don't exert yourself the next few days. Hiking trips = very bad idea right now for you.

....Ew. That's awful timing.

And I'm sure hiking trips are awful with food poisoning.

Was this two separate incidences, or once?

As for me, it was the day before our flight back to the States. x_X

No, this was once. I brought up the other holidays, because I know you don't celebrate Christmas and were using them as examples of days it would suck for you to get sick. Yeah, we were on a tiny ass sailboat, and my parents thought we should climb to the top of the mountain on the Island the day after.....this did not go over well.
