Stomach Flu Only 18 Days Out??

[CCornell87 35]

Feeling incredibly naseous and an awful urge to puke! Diarrhea hit me like a tidal wave. I took promethazine, but it doesn't seem to help. Don't want to throw up like this so early out...Its the weekend at 4:30am, what do I do?!?

At 4.30am not really sure.If it was during office hours I would suggest calling your Dr.

You could try nibbling on some dry crackers or sipping on something with ginger in as both can help nausea.

Hope it gets better soon

I've got packets of zofran left from chemo, wish I could email it to you! Always always keep good anti nausea medicine on hand. I got gastro three days after surgery (thanks kids!) but maxalon saved me.

Ice relieves nausea for me, as does icy cold soda Water.

You may be dehydrated...nausea is not only a sign of tummy troubles, but also dehydration. That's a serious medical condition...

I hope you feel better...and just another thought. Though you may not want to disturb others, your surgeon's practice should have after hours coverage 24/7 to manage potentially serious situations like yours. That's part of their professional ethics they are supposed to follow and also their professional commitment they make to their patients.

When I had my pancreatitis attack...you can bet I was speaking with my bariatric surgeon at midnight...

Hope you are feeling better now...

Called my surgeons office and linked me to an after hours number. By 5am my hubby was on his way to Walgreens to pick up my prescription that was called in. Felt better after sleeping much of the day...Had 2 meds and both caused lots of drowsiness. However, its 2am and I'm feeling yucky yet again. Taking one of the pills to try to head it off and gonna soak in the tub to try and calm my stomach. I'm gonna watch what I eat extra close tomorrow and see if it could be that. Or its just a stomach bug or food poisoning that's lingering...Certain smells or even the thought of certain foods makes me stomach churn! Thanks for all the replies everyone! Was super scared to throw up and do damage to my stomach, band or both!
