might be the stomach virus going around. I was in the ER last Sunday because it got so bad that they thought my intestines were blocked, but apparently theres this kicks ass virus going around thats making everyone feel TERRIBLE. I thought it was food poisoning at first XD
How long does it last? Megan had gotten something just like this a few days ago, but she had had some bad fruit at a restaurant. I think mine was almost turned milk ... Did they give this bug a name I can look up?
Mine lasted about a day and a half- though Ive heard that it ranges from one day to around four. The dr said he didnt know exactly what it was, but he also had the same thing with the same symptoms (and they ran a bunch of tests on me at the ER). If your puke is dark green... I place my bets on the mysterio virus. Its NOT fun and the only reason mine stopped was because they pumped me full of anti nausea meds and pain killers for the cramping. I seriously thought I ate a bad cucumber though, because I thought it tasted funny and I ended up only eating half of it- and thats ALL I had for dinner that night... the next morning I was exploding out of every orifice you can imagine.
From my experiences though, almost turned milk will make you spew once maybe twice.. but if its more than that it may be the virus. I got it and so did my mom (hers lasted 4 days though), but the 2 people I live with havent gotten it. I really wish I knew exactly what it was though, and if its contagious. My friends son, who I havent seen in a while, is just getting over the same virus.. and hes out in st pete beach. Its getting around, I know that much. Just dont know HOW.
jamie seems to be having this, too. he's been all pukey and stuff. which is weird for jamie because his illnesses usually last a matter of minutes. | |
