I am sick of being sick... |
|
I believe I got a case of food poisoning (or the worst stomach flu EVER). I started feeling bad Saturday morning and still am not 100% but I have to go to work tomorrow. Even if I could stay home, I have finished all my library books, there is never anything on tv and I am really sick and tired of my cats fighting all day.
At least I am doing good on my diet. :crazy: I have hardly eaten since Saturday morning and still don't want anything.
I have had food poisoning once before for sure and it was way worse than this. I hate how long it lingers though. I feel like I will never be back to my regular self even though I will.
Thanks for listening. Just had to gripe.
PS I am blaming the grilled chicken sandwich I had from Whataburger on Friday.

3. They could try but I don't have anything. |
|
I remember when the beef assoc sued Oprah for a guest saying that beef was bad for you. What a bunch of asses!!
Actually I am blaming them because that is all I can trace it too. I had cooked Thursday night but I use a thermometer when I cook meat so I know it was done and there was no chance of cross contamination. I am very careful when I cook. And the only other thing I ate Friday was some toast and some canned soup.

but as a self appointed meat protector (sounds like a good subject line for the lounge, doesn't it?) Lots food poisonings ACTUALLY come from fruits and veggies - so it might have been the dirty lettuce on you whatachicken or whatever they call it.
Hope you feel better soon - if you have been losing a lot of fluids (from either end) and not drinking you are also dehydrated along with the other effects of illness - drink some gatorade or have some broth and a bit of flat soda. Try to sip water constantly.

2. Sounds like food poisoning to me |
|
Usually stomach viruses don't hang on that long. Try to take some chicken (or vegetable) broth with some sodium in it so you can rebalance your electrolytes after being dehydrated.
I got food poisoned back in September and it took me a week or so to feel back to normal again. Take care of yourself.

6. I got food poisoning from shrimp at a X-mas party |
|
It took me 5 days (the first 2 HELL) to begin to recover.
Good Luck, it's some NASTY stuff.
