Never been so sick in my life...

[Pitboss]

Okay so yesterday morning I go to the gym. About 15 minutes into it my stomache starts feeling a bit quesy. I finish my workout and head home starting to feel worse. I have this huge knot building up in my lower abs and I'm feeling a bit bloated. Okay so it's just gas. Nope... My GF spent 2 days in bed earlier this week sick with some stomach flu or ?? Know I'm getting it. But I kept thinking just gas. Hit the bathroom a couple times, didn't help. Drank some 7-UP, didin't help. Oh well it'll pass, just hopefully not in public!!

I take off to work. By the time I get there my whole body is aching, stomach is killing me, back and both kidneys screaming. The office has no air circulation unless the a/c is on and it was off and I was freezing, goosebumps and chills everywhere but my hair is drenched with sweat from the slight fever I now have. Couldn't eat. The smell of food almost made me puke.

I spent majority of the day locked in the office. It hurt to move. Just sitting there I could feel the aches running up and down my body. This was not good.

I got home and was in bed from 8pm until 7am, feeling better but not 100%. I haven't had anything to eat since yesterday morning.

I have never felt that bad from a flu in my life. Hope it's only a local flu and doesn't get to any of you. You'll know if you got it!!!

Jesus! Thank god you're on the exact opposite end of the country from me man! Hope you feel better

 

[david]

Sorry to hear about that PB... I hope you feel better. Let us know the diagnosis if it worsens! Take care for now!

 

[DaMayor]

There seem to be some very wicked viral strains floating around these days. Hope you feel better!

I had that about a week ago, it was mostly done after 36 hours but it took another day or so before food seemed to sit right... sucks, but about 6 - 9 months before that I had a regular flu, which was worse and lasted 4 days (not sure what was so bad about it other than coughing hurt bad, and you HAD to cough... couldn't sleep without some help from some drugs either). This stomach flu is short lived but it sucks (you will give up all the food you've eaten in the last 12+ hours, and won't be getting any more food in you for another 24 hours or more).

That sounds eerily similar to what I just went through about 2 weeks ago. It was brutal, and I puked/shit so much, I dropped 10 pounds!

I hope you get better soon Pitboss!

Take it easy, and good luck!

I woke up felling 100% better. A little weak and very hungry... I ate, ity came up so I drank my regular 900 calorie shake. It stayed down That's all I have been able to keep down today even though I feel fine.

Sucks to I was only 7 pounds away from my 200lb goal and now I'm probably back dwon to 185!!!!

 

[Pitboss]

Oh great it's back!!!!!

Woke up at 2:30am to go to my UPS gig and my stomach is not doing so hot. That and the fact that my sheets fell like they just came out of the washing machine, nothing worse than sweating your arse off when it's a cool 66 degrees in the house!!

So now what do I do for food?? Can't handle food or even my shakes now..... grrrr I hate being sick

I found a slice of bread seemed to help settle my stomach a bit.

I wish I could think of something to help ya'.

Try staying on a bland diet...

B.R.A.T. diet like:

B - banana
R - rice
A - applesauce
T - toast

That's what docs always recommend with kids. But I think that's a little limited so I add oats, chicken breast to the list too. Stay a way from dairy for a while till your stomach settles.

Feel better!

uhm maybe you could come over and take care of me???? My body has terrible aches... a hot oil massage might help


B.R.A.T. I'll have to remember that for when my little one gets sick. Sounds like very sound advice. Much better than just bread from that sick in the head, toilet feces fetish Canadian...

Hey!! You can't be that sick if you're still trying out pathetic pick-up lines!

As for the bread; when you heat bread up it becomes TOAST!

Ha ha.... I'm never too sick for that!!!!

Uhm I thought when you heat bread it becomes warm. But when you toast it then it becomes toast???

Damn PB hope you get better quick.

I had that a few weeks ago and from what I read on the net about it is that it's actually not a flu but it's called Gastroenteritis (sumthin like that). But it's nick name is stomach flu.

I had a temp of 102 for 2 days and puked the wrath of godzilla and drove the porceilen bus to the west coast and back.

What I did was Nyquil to bring my temperature down (i'm sure you're past that stage). Keopectate for the Diarhhea , man that stuff WORKS! Gatorade to stay hydrated. Soup till I started feeling better then worked up to crackers, bread and then by that time it was all gone.

Get betta man!

try drinking some coca cola, believe it or not it will settle the your stomach! the stomach virus has been going around big time in the northeast as well.

Been there, had that. Mine started at 12:30 am and I was eating packages of graham crackers and Gatorade by dinner time. My daughter ralfed up pizza at 11:30 pm one evening and wanted pizza for breakfast the next morning.

No smell is worse than digested pizza.

My son had more of the fever symptoms than anything else last weekend. He was laying on the couch when I gave him a cup of Gatorade. 30 secs. later he said " dad, I feel like I'm going to puke". No sooner than he said that and he started heaving. I cupped my hands together to catch all I could. (didn't want to have to clean the couch and carpet)

A few days after I had it my friend asked if I got the "Violator". I asked him to go on and explain what this "violator" was.

He said " Basically it's when at the same time you diahrea and are puking simutaineously". EXORCISE THE DEMON!

There's nothing like barfing into a Tupperware bowl while shitting thru a screen door.
