Have Progressed Past Whimper to Bleh

[mlerules]

Several hours ago I woke up w/that special feeling of uh-oh: whiffs of nausea, first just hints here and there but not too bad yet. It built up to incredibly strong nausea w/sweats (and it's NOT hot here!), dizziness, stomach churning, misery. One of those time where it's unclear whether to perch on or kneel before the porcelain throne. Well, without going into too much detail, suffice it to say I spent a chunk of time feeling miserable just laying on the bathroom floor b'c it was nice and cool and not too far away from where I needed to be (and w/the vertigo so bad it's not like I could get that far away from there anyway).

Feeling a bit better now after a bit more sleep. Last night's pizza wasn't very good. Perhaps 'twas even BAD. Dunno whether 'twas me or it...certainly a combo. Now just feeling weak and crappy and bleh. It's grey outside and in. Bad headache hurts. Gonna take it pretty easy today. Have drunk water and taken ibuprofen. Will keep hydrating throughout the day.

Honey! Feel better soon. Is there anyone there to help take care of you? Bring you stuff? Stroke your hair while you try to pass out?

Thx - I hope to do so. Re: help - well, the kittenheads're clustering to help out, but w/out opposable thumbs, they're assistance (beyond much loving and purring) is limited. ;-) Luckily delerium3 will be here before long w/bread for dry toast and ginger ale for the tummy.

Kettenheads have magical healing powers. And good friends do, too.

I hope to hear that this is just a one or two day thing and will soon be a distant memory.

Thx for calling. It was good to hear your voice. Best wishes to being/geting well (to us both)!

Poor thing! You're doing all the right things, but I KNOW it doesn't make it all better. Take care and relax.

Luckily this happened during a rest 'n' relax (and clean 'n' tidy) session at the Hive, so I shall indeed take care and relax so I'm ready for a hot date at the Hive next weekend. :-)

Oh my gosh it sounds like it might be food posioning. Can you get anyone to run to the health food store for you? They could grab some good bacteria (probiotics), activated charcol (to draw stuff out of your system) and the time honored giner tea would be good. I'm thinking good thoughts for you!!!

Thx for the reminder re: ginger tea. I've got some and once the current pot of Bengal Spice is gone I'll switch to that. Yeah, feels like FooPoi'ing all right. *sigh*

seconded on the probiotics.
Culturelle is a brand that MN gastroenterologist recommended.

Thx, sweetie. delerium3 will be here soon w/bread for dry toast and ginger ale - both of which'll help my tummy feel better.

I know I'm late to the game.. but hope you are feeling better!

Thx! Feeling much better. Took yesterday mega-easy. Pretty sure 'twas something nasty I ate rather than a flu-thingie, so it passed fairly quickly. How was Heart of Now?

Aw, sorry to hear about the suckage. Hope it passed quickly. *gentle hugs*
