Feeling worse again...

At this point, has to be antibiotics.

Drove all afternoon yesterday to SO's. Somebad backups getting around DC. Had a single beer, water, and salad with chicken.

Felt tight and achy, a slight headache. It got worse. Right after I took my zolpidem, Ithrew up. Had several bowel movements. Slept badly, of course, up and down. Had some coffee this am, and promptly threw up again, after trying and failing to take my morning pills. Several more bowel movements. BF swears chicken is only a few days old. Finall ate some toast with almond butter and sipping sprite. So far, it is staying down.

I only have two days left on the antibiotics but I am taking no more. Ihad full blood work done at ER Sunday, so I know it is nothing serious.

Taking arest before I tackle some prep work for the big dinner.

I know I'll sound like a fuddy duddy but I wouldn't be having a drop of alcohol if you are having stomach issues/nausea.....

When I am on antibiotics I have to take them with whole wheat bread, or crackers...or something really light but has no fat, good protein, and nothing heavy or sugary...

You really should taper down and take all the antibiotics as it's meant to be a "course".....but only you can decide if you want to go off of them...

I have a very sensitive stomach as well so I can empathize..Hope you start feeling better soon..

I know I've mentioned it a few times...but the product Vita-Coco is the absolute best thing I have found when I had a terrible bout of a stomach virus..I couldn't keep anything down for days...

This has 460mg of potassium as well as it's coconut water and provides a great balance of electrolytes. It is so much better than Gatorade which is loaded with sugar which can upset the stomach even more..

I mix the Vita-Coco with water and just take a small sip every 15 minutes...

Now I keep them in the fridge all the time just in case...

I just remembered that when I was pregnant for the last time (and nauseous constantly), a neighbor recommended coke (coca-cola) syrup from the pharmacy. It really helped me, and I still try to have it on hand. You put a little over ice and sip it.
