I suspect myself of having alien body chemistry

[ladymirth]

I'm trying not to look at myself. I look like I'm starring in a remake of The Machinist. I didn't know just six days of living on bread and bran crackers can do that to a person. Eep.

Meanwhile, Flagyl has been discontinued, all other symptoms are gone,  but raging diarrhea remains. I don't have any idea what I'm even running on at this point. Pure adrenaline? I've never heard of either stomach flu or food poisoning lasting this long. The virus should be starved out by now. The folks are in discussion whether to just go and hospitalize me today. That is funny, because I actually feel better today than I did for the past six days, even though I still can't eat much and can't get it anything I eat to stay in my stomach. Nevertheless, I am up and about. I would feel rather silly about being hospitalized since I don't feel that weak. Which is baffling, because by all rights I should be keeling over with malnutrition. WTF, body? 

On the plus side, I got myself excused from my mid semesters. *is happy* 

Oh well. At least I have NaNo to take my mind off all this. Wish I could see Boy today though. I miss my baby. *is sad*

I once had what here they call a "gastro fulgurante" that means same symtoms as you and it lasted 5 days. and I took another week to feel back to my normal shape. thus 12 days of weakness and close call to the point where my mother (we were taking a ski break at the time) wanted to rush me to ER... hopefully, didn't need to go to the hospital after all. :)

Glad you're feeling a tad better today. you should really try Coke. Hope you'll keep on the good work and will feel even better today. *sending good vibes*

Nobody is still sure WTF was up with me, but the important thing is that it is now GONE. Your thing sounds a lot worse than what I had, though.

I tried Coke. Still not sure whether the results were that effective.

**HUGS**

Thanks for the tips and advice, Carole. They really helped!

love your icon.

and you're more than welcome for the tips. Glad they helped!

The thing I had may have been worse than yours. It was a close call from what my mum told me she'd seen me get thinner by seconds and was really worried.

But I got out of it! And so glad you did too. ***hugs***
