Have you ever been so sick?
Yesterday was a day ,never like any other day. It was early in the morning after I went to the toilet and when I came back, laid my head on the pillow I felt the whole room spining and I felt nausea after that. went to the toilet and threw out, then sat on the "throne" , which I thought will help. It works in the past whenever I had food poisoning. Of course at that moment I did not know it was food poisoning as I never had such experience before. I kept on vomitting , and could not sleep, and I dared not lie down as it will cause my head to spin. Finally morning came, my contition did not improved. My wife gave me some medicine which she got from the clinic, but each time I took something including bread and drinks, I threw up. In the meantime my wife was so anxious to admit me to a hospital as she did not know what else to do. She started to look for my medical card, only to find out the insurance guy did not renew it!(this is another issue which she will take up with that guy) Anyway my son came back around noon time and took me to a nearby clinic, though I could hardly walk. A jab from the docter who diagnose me and confirm it was food poisoning ,a bad case at that. I am now gaining back my strenght and hope to be up and about again. Thank God for his Grace and sustaining power and also to my wonderful wife and son who took care of me when I was so helpless.

take oral dehydration. it is a MUST to gain all the water losses after throwing up.
ReplyDeleteanyway, take care :)
thanks Joanne for your wishes and advice.
ReplyDeleteeven that I threw up. the good doc recommended 100 plus. i am drinking plain water now.
is it normal about the spining part?
Rest well ya, speedy recovery to you!!
ReplyDeletethanks Hayley.
ReplyDelete100 plus will be ok, just it will sometimes gives the gaseous effects after drinking. bloating will come after, so, for me, i didnt take 100 plus. Ordinary ORS will do be more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteif possible, take oral rehydration rather than plain water because the ORS wil replaceall the minerals that been threw up from your body (o, the minerals are so important!)
nausea (head spinning) is the most common symptoms when you got food poisoning because of something been sent to your brain that was 'unhealthy' for your body and the throwing up is the our body way of throwing away the bad thing inside our stomach.
the spinning will be bad if you are taking antibiotics. try to take some foods before taking the antibiotics (if you were prescribed any, it will reduce the posibility of dizziness.
hope this will help :)
p/s: sorry this is a late reply, later maybe you have already eating pizza by now ;)
