I'm spewing. I obviously can't take my meds. This will take a few days to beat?

Will my body deal with this and it will clear up, or is my immune system over taxed?

Is my progress going to disappear before my eyes?

I had this Tuesday night... I felt like I was doomed. Already almost back to my "normal" self. [Smile]

. Hope you get better quick!!

I had this junk over Christmas when we were in Texas. Gave it to my brother and his wife. They were thrilled.

You will be OK... take it easy and take care of your gut!

A few days off meds won't make a difference either way. Feel better soon!

Been there! You poor thing!! This happens once in a while to all sorts of immune systems. Just bad luck to have picked up a stomach virus. It will pass (even though it does not feel that way).
I always find sipping slowly on vitamin water zero (anything with electrolites and no sugar) is best.
Best wishes, you will be better:)

Ugh. DD had this a few weeks back. It knocked her down for a good week. Quarantined her best I could so the rest if us didn't get it.

Or should I say the rest of them b/c I was the one bringing her what she needed, emptying trash, etc. 😎

Just make sure you drink plenty of fluids and if you are vomiting and/or have the runs you need to replenish electrolytes with gatorade and the like.

Feel better soon!

Ok, so I'm over the bug now, but I missed three doses. I was in SEVERE pain off antibiotics. This was worse than anything I have felt before. It was like someone was trying to take a crowbar and pry my chest and back open like I was a crab.

Is this normal?
