MinnesotanMommy's Journal

I won't elaborate on the symptoms cuz some are really nasty for sure, but I'm sick as a dog. I'm constantly sitting on the toilet, nauseated the other half of the time, have either stomach or intestinal aches at random, a sore back. I'm just plain miserable. I'm sick of being sick. It started Friday night. I thought it was from something I'd drank, but upon reflection I didn't drink any of it until Saturday morning, and this started late Friday night. Its been non stop and is only getting worse. I put anything into my body, even Gatorade, and out it goes. And in the process the nausea is a nightmare. I was gonna wait until Thursday to go in. Thought I could wait it out until I get into town, but I just can't. I can't handle this intense nausea and being in the bathroom hourly when I'm up (sometimes more, sometimes less) and every two hours (on average) when I'm in bed. I didn't know I had this much liquid in me people! I'm suprised I'm not beyond dehydrated already with as bad as this has been in the last 12 hours! But...I'm sipping liquids here and there too, so maybe that's helping just enough. I was doing flavored water, but that bugged me, so I went to Sierra Mist, that didn't sit well, so I went to lemonade and that slowed the nausea, but now I can't stand the flavor of that, so I'm onto Gatorade and hopefully I can handle drinking this. I'm slowly cycling through everything I've got available to me. If I end up on an antibiotic, I can't pay for it until Thursday when I get paid. So I dunno. But I need to get into the doctor. I don't often go in for anything anymore and I put it off as long as I can, but I think my body will be turned inside out if I don't go. I feel like I'm dying and its only getting worse. I've been praying for relief, but aparently whatever this is, isn't agreeing to the idea of going away anytime soon. I hate to have to go back to a liquid diet, but I fear I just might in hopes that this will at least slow down. I wasn't even this bad when I had IBS years ago! A liquid diet can set me up for a relapse with my BED, but I just don't care right now. I need to stop this running to the bathroom thing and try to at least keep the fluids in. I can't even keep the fluids in now. No matter what it is, its through me within an hour or less now. If I lived closer to town, I'd just drive to the ER right now. I feel awful. But, I live 30 minutes away, so I'll wait until 8 AM to call the clinic down the road. And hopefully my body doesn't try to kill me anymore then it is right now. I feel horrid!
