tummy bug

[terilynn112 1]

I'm sick! I have had diarrhea for about 14 hours now. I'm drinking tons, so I'm not dehydrated yet... but am fighting it. I'm starting to get nauseated. I don't like feeling like this. Any ideas on how to feel better? And Deb, we were fighting constipation... for the moment that's far from my problem.

Get some immodium. Also, there is an over the counter medicine (I think its called emitrol) that can help with the nausea until maybe you can get a prescription for zofran. I hope you feel better soon!

MMMmmmm Diarrhea or Constipation - which to have :w00t: Okay, not nice, bad joke. (poor attempt at humor):w00t: maybe a touch of diarrhea......

Teri you poor thing. I cannot believe now this. You have been through so much.

Okay, now the Mom in me is taking over. You need to call your Surgeon. You paid him enough or your insurance did and - well - honestly, he owes you! I would go back on the Clear liquid, but this could be serious. You have to stay hydrated. We are still newbees and our systems are barely coping with normal, let alone being this ill.

Seriously, call the Dr. I know it is late and you won't get anyone anyway, but you need to make sure they know you are this sick. Nausea is bad, but vomitting is BAD.

Be careful, really careful. But call a Doctor in the am if nothing else.

We need you - Take care sweetie Big Hug :laugh: Debbie

Teri, let me know how you are doing today. I didn't want to go to work without checking on you. I hope you are feeling a lot better today.

Take Care Debbie

I am soo sorry this is happening to you. One of my biggest fears is getting the stomach bug. I hope you are feeling better soon. Tamara

Teri,

I hope the fact that we haven't heard from you is because you feel so much better that you are out doing something with your kids. Not that you feel worse than you did. Check in when you have a chance. I hope you are feeling better and just out.

I just feel tired so far today. I'm doing ok tummy wise. Not taking a lot of risks, staying to chicken broth, Protein drinks and Water. Oh and I did have some chicken noodle Soup. But other than being drained I feel ok.

thanks for thinking of me. (My kids all had this last week- so it was inevitable).

I'm glad that you are doing ok. Just keep sipping some fluids to keep you hydrated.
