So I wake up at midnight throwing up. Now I have some very bad nausea, a stomachache, and I'm carrying a bucket around... :frown:

Oddly enough, I haven't gotten that sick for years. Typically, I catch a cold about two or three times a year and that's it. Hope you feel better.:smile:
 
Just get one of those horse feed buckets so the horse can just open and close his mouth to gobble oats. Except you just open and close to... well, you know.

Throwing up is not fun. The last time I did there were this things that looked like pickled chili peppers or stewed tomatoes. I now can identify them as chunks of my GI tract lining.
 
What color is your bucket?
I couldn't stand any other color than red.
 
Poor yomamma, hope you're feeling better.

Apply cold damp cloths to your forehead, and neck, you'll be amazed at how much better those will make you feel when your nuaseated.

If you know how to take your pulse do that. Let me tell you a little story and let's hope HIPAA doesn't shave my buttocks for this one. A patient had a weak pulse of 50, was vomiting for 3 hours, and had no chest pain. Turns out he was having a silent heart attack, and needed a pacemaker. The age consideration is obvious, and obesity increases strain on the heart. So if you have any of those symptoms (as well as perhaps sweating and cold skin), then perhaps you should see a doctor
 
  • #17
Yes, I have some of those symptoms. I will be seeing a doctor today...

I had the stomach flu last year at this time. Except that I felt horrible for three or four days :/ I just remember throwing up and feeling all warm, and then a few seconds later being extremely cold...

I just have to say: the last time I threw up was years ago. It's probably getting close to a 7.

I really have no idea when it was, but I was young enough for my mother to be comforting me.
