So, after 7 days of complete gasterointestinal HELL, I think I'm finally starting to feel normal again. Last Tuesday at about 3 pm, while leaving a meeting at The Four Seasons, I seriously thought I was going to have pull over and hurl. I thought maybe my blood sugar was just low and that it would pass. Back at work, I was simply too busy to eat anything and it was quittin' time, so I willed myself to ward it off until I got home. Once at home, I ate some pasta with chicken, but barely had an appetite. At about 8:30, I barfed! I never, ever puke when sick, so I knew something was awry. But, as per the usual relieved feeling after puking, I of course felt better. Until about 1 in the morning, when I woke up with extreme nausea. Horrible night #1. Couldn't call into work the next day, as there were executive meetings that I had to get stuff ready for. I decided I would go in and do what I needed to do and leave. Needless to say, Wednesday was spent laying in bed, answering emails and sleeping. Thursday & Friday I fooled myself into thinking I was better, regardless of the massive amounts of poopage. Friday night...laying on the couch, watching Six Feet Under, back comes the barfing. THREE times this round! Again, I never, ever puke, so this was a big deal. Saturday, I think I slept about 18 hours, which was super nice, but still did not feel rested. Dehydration had set in. Sunday, could barely eat anything, but the nausea was starting to subside. I was happy. For a bit. Well, Monday was spent on the toilet and most of today. But, back to my main point - I'm starting to feel better. The cramps are gone, the belching/gas is done and no more nausea!
I have no idea what the hell that was. Food poisoing? Possibly. Stomach virus? Quite possible. Something more serious - I hope not. As long as I don't have a relapse, I think I'll stick with one of the above. If I do, then a doctors visit is definitely in my near future.
Just glad to be feeling better. Hoping to get out there and enjoy some of this amazing fall-ish weather! So ready for a nice, long run and then a big ole glass of wine.
Cheers!

Ugh, probably a stomach bug. The bf and I both had issues for 7 days earlier this year. Lucky for us it was only out one end, no puking, but after 7 days of going to the bathroom upwards of 5 to 6 times daily, I decided to see a doctor. She said something had been going around, and gave me some antibiotics that thankfully knocked it out in 1 day. Glad you're feeling better!
that is the worst feeling ever! i'm so glad that you're feeling better, and yup it was probs a bug. hopefully that will be the last of it!
