Warning: some of this may be considered T.M.I.
Yesterday after a long, strenuous, and trying day in Ohio I got back to my hotel room and pretty much just wanted to go right to bed. I did so, but woke up around 1:30 with a pretty rotten stomach ache. I couldn’t really fall asleep, so I was pretty much just lying awake and being all miserable until about 3:30 when my stomach decided to begin project ‘purge.’ I made it to the bathroom just in time to heave into the bowl. awesome!
Stage two of project purge was a bit more traditional in the way of emptying my digestive track, though it wasn’t much more pleasant. Stage three took place five minutes ago with another vomit session. I am really uncool with this.
I’m having trouble standing up at all without nausea and dizziness. Ugh. this is annoying – especially since I’m due to take a plane flight tomorrow to Portland OR.
Start rehydrating…a bunch of vomiting plus a long flight=total dehydration. Fluids with a little salt and sugar in them, not straight water. good luck!
Some of the TMI was nice to know. Like that you’ll be just one state south of me tomorrow. What day were you thinking of coming up to Seattle?
A couple of years ago, I got food poisoning, and I couldn’t keep anything down. My entire system was completely empty. I tried to drink water, and an hour later, I vomited water. And I tried to drink blue Gatorade, and an hour later, I had the best tasting vomit ever. Sugary sweet blue vomit! Awesome!
One time my sister and I (back when my sister and I shared a room at home) were so lucky, our bodies decided to project purge together! Good thing we were slightly alternated. The reason I remember this is because (TMI warning) we were giggling about how sometimes the force of purge type #1 threatens purge type #2.
Poooor Miko! I am so sorry! I had this a couple springs ago and it is unforgiving. You’ll get through it and feel better soon – maybe change your flight? Love, T.
