Well, this certainly is a wasted weekend...

[ourdramaqueen]

I don't know if it was the fish sticks or something else that I ate on Friday, but just before going to bed, I had to throw up, and kept having to every 1 1/2 to 2 hours all through the night - from the third time on it was just bile, of course. I tried to drink some ginger tea early Saturday afternoon, but that came back up too, so I just went back to doze as I was feeling very sluggish anyway. In the late afternoon I was finally able to drink some water, then tea, and later ate a bit of quark with cereal. I've had more water and tea and am now eating some bread - my stomach is so empty it actually feels like it's cramped - and have just made some chicken broth, which should help me get back some of my strength too. I'm totally knackered, as you can imagine, and didn't get a single thing done that I had planned.

Of course this also ruins the plan for one of my coworkers coming for dinner tonight - I don't trust my stomach to take a full meal yet. Oh well, we'll reschedule. Now if only I could find my massage ball again, to help me get rid of the crick in my neck that I caught while lying in bed so much...

Good gracious, sounds like you had a major case of food poisoning. I'm glad to hear you're on the mend.

Well considering that some people seem to have it for a week, from what I read online, I think it was definitely a minor case. Phew! :)

oh that sounds dreadful!!! I hate food poisoning/stomach viruses, it's the worst feeling in the world...

I had an awful food poisoning once that made it so I couldn't eat normal for a good two weeks afterward...

What is quark?

I'm thankfully pretty resistant to other stomach bugs that go round - can't really remember the last time I fell victim to one. At least this was over quickly!

They say it's the same as curd but the curd I had seemed different to our Quark here, so there may be some minor differences in how they make them. Or maybe it's just my imagination and they are the same!

Oh, you poor thing! Sounds horrible but it also sounds like you are doing all the right things to deal with it.

I was aching in sympathy while reading this. Hope you are much much better very soon.

It could have been much worse. The exhaustion and initial dehydration, until I was able to keep down some fluids, was worst. Plus I'm SO not good at keeping to the same bland food for a longer time... :)

That was very thoughtful - and now you know the real reason why I didn't go back to work on Monday... ;)
