STOMACH BUG

YIKES! Got my first tummy flu since surgery- man oh man it ha**** me like a ton of bricks. I have been nauseated and having stomach pain for two days and horrible diarrhea since yesterday. I feel like a truck ran me over- I know I am dehydrating - and I am trying to force the clear liquids- but I really am just wishing for a quick semi painless death at this point.... I called Aranow- spoke to Lois- gave me all the same advice I gave myself as a nurse...LOL- no miracle cures for this....but shee****s awful!!!! Anybody got a cyanide capsule I could borrow? I am going back to bed and hoping when I wake up this will all have been a bad dream and I will feel better.

Hey you have my sympathy as well as my best wishes. Just make sure everywhere you go ( pardon me, I ment travel ) you take a bottle of water with you! Know you already know that but can't think of anything else to suggest. Take Care, Julio

Bernadette, I had that two weeks ago and it was awful...and then it moved onto an upper respiratory infection...Awful, I know what you're going thru. Drink lots of water, crystal lite and broth... Get rest, I didn't and it got worse. I finally got an anti-biotic yesterday and finally have some strength back. Hang in there and feel better. paula

I am sorry you aren't feeling well! I hope that you get some rest and feel better soon!

I hope you get well soon - being sick is no fun Best Regards, Tammy

Hi there, I have no advice being all new to this,but I do want to say I hope you get better soon,,take care,,drink,drink,drink,,,cyndee

Thanks everybody- I am at least able to be in rooms that don't have toilets in them today LOL that's an improvement. I slept a lot and drank as much as I could tolerate. I hate defizzed soda- except for Diet Mountain Dew. You have no idea how happy I am to find Diet Mountain Dew...okay it might look like a urine sample especially defizzed but its still the DEW! Oyy I have to stop making myself more nauseated..... Poor me. AND of course- I only lost 2 pounds from this whole gastric disaster. Sheesh felt like ten.......
