I didn't post yesterday. I didn't do much of anything yesterday except alternate between laying in the bed and hanging over the toilet. This was no ordinary virus either, because I didn't ever feel nauseated. I think I may have had my first experience with food poisoning.
Whatever it was, my body reacted so violently to it, that not only could I not keep anything down, I couldn't even get anything down. Not even water. I'd try to sip some water and it would get about halfway down my throat and come right back up.
Finally, about 10:00 last night, I threw up some brown stuff, and it was over. I could feel my body stop fighting this, whatever it was. I went back to bed and was actually able to go to sleep.
About 1:00 AM, I woke up and went and got some water. I took a sip. It went down. I took a swallow. It stayed down. I drank about half the glass. Not too much, I told myself. I don't want to start this over again.
An hour later, since I'd kept the water down, I got up and got some applesauce. It stayed down as well. I woke up this morning feeling much better.
Still a bit sore and shaky, but much better than yesterday.
Kitty was glad mommy was sick. She got to sleep on the bed with me.
Hope your feeling better soon!
