salienneSo, 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.
