UUUGHHHHH stomach flu....

[Mayasmydobe]

My mom thinks it's the flu....
I cant eat anything without running to the bathroom and having diarreah(sp) everytime I move I have to run to the bathroom and have diarreah
My back hurts really really bad, my stomach hurts really really bad, and I am just exhausted even though I have been sleeping alot today and last night.

I feel like cr@p.... my head is starting to hurt.
i haaaattteeeee being sick.


Does this sound like the flu to you? Im not puking, just having massive diarreah like every 20 minutes.

It COULD be - flu doesn't always have to mean you puke... it could be food poisoning too though. I read somewhere that most of what people think is the flu is actually a case of food poisoning.

Can you drink anything? If so drink LOTS of water to help flush out your system. Can your mom get you some Pedialyte, or maybe some of those Pedialyte popsicles?

Any kind of deep nausea like that is awful . . . I feel your pain . . . last time I was that sick I was on vacation visiting my parents . . .

I was about 27-28 years old, and I was curled up on the bed crying for my mother . . .

You just feel so . . . awful . . . its worse than pain.

Agree .... lots of water ....helps your system and give you something to throw up . I hate dry heaves !!! I actually was poisoned a year ago !!! Didn't know that my dishwasher wasn't working and got a horrible bacterial infection ! I thought it was a reaction to a new med .!! Now I'm afraid to get back on the med !!! Matter over mind !

oh Maya--I am feeling your pain!! I just got over a stomach bug that lasted for a week--it was not fun!! Do try to drink--I found room temperature drinks didn't cause my stomach to cramp up--gatorade is good too since it replenishes some of your electorlytes (salt, potassium,etc)--feel better--and go ahead and cry!

I had the stomach flu really bad last spring...YUCK!!!!!!!!!! I had food poisoning too a few years back....I thought I was going to die!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry you're not feeling well!!! Keep hydrated!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am soo sorry you are not feeling well! I have a huge fear of the stomach bug! I hope it is only one of the 24 hours ones and you are feeling much better tomorrow!

 

[Mayasmydobe]

well this all started yesterday... I dont want to miss class!!!! I am going to try my hardest to go tomorrow. I'l just sit in the back row by the door.

If you think it is contagious please don't go to class. I say that because as student I absolutely hated when people came to class sick. Cuz then it turns around and makes all the other students catch it and be miserable also. Everyone is trying to stay healthy and you will probably get better faster if you stay at home and rest.

I hope you feel better soon. My son has the exact same thing right now. Two days ago he was having accidents every 15 minutes all day long (he is ) but he is every day getting better.

Hang in there and get plenty of rest and fluid.

I think I might stay home tomorrow.
I got an assignment done and submitted tonight. It's one that I had been stressing over, and now that it's done and submitted and I know that I dont have to worry about it, I can relax a bit. Odd thing, it isnt even for the class that I have tomorrow.
But tomorrow is when this teacher will start lecturing, up untill now it's just been introductions and her explaining how class works. her policy on attendance is that you can miss 5 days of class before she drops you a letter grade.
I think I will see how I feel in the morning before I decide though. right now my stomach is really hurting...

edit- I only have one class tomorrow, Human Growth and Development. Ihave a paper due next friday in that class, I have started working on it, but I dont now the format that she wants it in either MLA or APA) and she told me that she would bring a small booklet that explains it.
