blonde poker forum

Please can someone help me.

I woke up today at 1pm only to find myself rushing off to the loo to be sick.

I haven't been drinking or smoking and I slept for a reasonable 8 hours, so my only guess is that I ate something bad for tea last night.

Since that first vomit at 1pm, I have been throwing up periodically every 20-30 minutes (the gaps are thankfully increasing), so that's 15-20 times I've had to rush to the loo and stick my head down the bog. On many of those occasions, I stuck my fingers down my mouth to speed up the process as I felt so nauseous. When I didn't do this, I still threw up, it just took slightly longer and meant that I felt ill for longer.

Most of my vomit is now bile, or whatever that horrible tasting yellow stuff is. I have tried sipping water, but this made no difference and just came up on my next visit. I have also tried sipping flat coke and nibbling at brown bread, but the same applies.

I am writing this now after my last session. Soon I'll be feeling ill again, but for 10 minutes or so after vomiting, I don't feel too bad, just tired and am capable of reading, browsing tinternet or whatever.

I am exhausted both mentally and physically and was wondering what I should do. If anyone can offer any pearls of wisdom, then please do, because being sick is starting to become really hard work and I don't want to do it anymore.

Heal me someone, please.

Ta.

snoops ;snoopy;

Get to bed

Get well soon

I can't remember the old wives tale of trying flat coke and brown bread? Sure someone will have more qualified advice, but sure rest and liquids will come in to it. Get well.

Dry toast and sips of cold water would be my advice, get well soon.

15 pints and a big fry up will cure ya.

Dont just drink water, if you can get some one to run to the shop for you get an isotonic sports drink, i.e Powerade. (this will replace the water but also the sodium and potasasium levels which is why you are feeling mentally fatigued. Also get lucozade for some energy if you are unable to eat anything.
You should not be vomiting so regualrly, means your body still thinks there is something bad in you and is trying to clean it out. Fluid is the main thing as you are propably very dehydrated but you will know yourself what sort of food might stay down. And get and see a doctor if not gone in the morning!

You've got food poisoning, go and doss in the hospital for a couple of days.

WTF did you eat?

Don't try eating anything until you haven't thrown up for at least three hours. Wait for an hour after vomiting before trying water, and then only sipping it (if you're throwing up after drinking water then your stomach's not ready for anything yet).

Sounds like a stomach bug to me if you're bringing up bile.

I'd not eat anything, and just have very small sips of water every 10 minutes or so to keep yourself hydrated.  Any more and you'll just bring it back up.  

Hope you're feeling better soon - I know how crappy you must be feeling now :(

Just so it doesnt get lost in amongst the advice dont just drink water, drink isotonic drinks!!!! Will be nicer and more effective!

Flat lemonade was always recommended for the kids, basically any clear fluid. As most of the others have said, avoid all food for several hours without being sick.  

If you can get someone to go to an all night chemist, some Dioralite would be the best thing you could have. It replaces everything that you are losing.

There is a sickness bug going around schools at the mo, Dec has had it and was sick for 2 days with it
No foodpoisoning just illness

Don't eat anything, sip water and sleep it off

xx

Thanks, a flat lucozade would be nice now, but I'm not well enough to go down the shop.

I haven't been sick since that opening post, so hopefully I'm on the mend.

maybe a dose of these will help:

I hope your feeling better soon.

I left school years ago, Mel, so I don't think it's that.

See, I might be turning my insides inside out, but the crappy sense of humour remains.

Thanks for all the advice, I'd hate to think I was making myself worse by eating/drinking the wrong thing.

ps. Is drinking flat coke a good or bad idea?

Thx, Andrew, I seem to be throwing up whether I drink or not.

DONT DRINK FLAT COKE OR ANY POP.
The carbohydrates in it will slow water uptake therefore not rehydrating you!!!

Only luco but again preferably Powerade and Gatorade, whatever you have down in the shops!

I think you will find it's best if SNORTED

......could always phone NHS direct, and chat up a nice nurse.....its what you pay your taxes for!

The flat coke is not necessarily a bad idea, the Dr. has told the kids to have it, if that's all they can keep down.

Isn't Lucozade 'pop'?

Super charged pop with extra carbohydrates?

Snoops,

Say your prayers, do your training and take your vitamins! Your pythons will be fine.

I even said "Never again!" earlier on, but then realised that it wasn't alcohol induced... for once.

last time i was uncotrollable sick and ended up in a hospital i was given some pills which instantly stopped me throwing up dont know the name of these pills or if they are precription only but i think there are the best thing since punture proof tyres

No lucozade is if you like the measured amount of sugar, water and electrolytes to optimise rehydration and muscle glycogen stores.
Pop is just shit in water!

Thought that was sewage? ;)

oh yeh lol

doesnt have to be food poisoning if you chucking up it could just be a virus. Drink plenty water and if you can get hold of any glucose tablets they will do you the world of good. Getting sugar down you helps as well although I wouldn't recommend eating 16 mars bars or anything stupid.

2 recipes to make ur own isotonic drinks

200ml ordinary fruit squash
800ml water
A pinch of salt
Mix them all together in a jug and cool down in fridge
or

500ml unsweetened fruit juice (orange, apple, pineapple)
500ml water
Mix them all together in a jug and cool down in fridge.

Have had the first one and its nice, seconds probabl easier.

Prob not the same as morning noon and night pregnancy sickness, but ginger used to help me - that and sniffing lemons :).   The most important thing is to keep hydrated, so try to drink water. 
Get well soon

That was very nice of ginger to help you zelda

lucozade is made by beechams and they kills animals in labs :(.

LOL!!! 

i prefer killing them on the roads

 :o :'(

Tony Blair kills innocent Iraqi's and British Soldiers in Iraq :( .

Indeed.  I dont dispute innocent human life is lost every day.  I care about all sentient life...

Well, I've just been sick again, but there was a 105 minut gap this time. That's surely a good sign, isn't it?...  ;pokergods; :'(

cheers, KingPoker.

Isn't the first one just squash though, or have I missed something?

Also, is citrusy stuff good for an empty and vulnerable stomach?

Dana offered me a hot orange with honey, does that sound like a good idea?

Many thx again for the help, I hate wasting days, especially when I haven't been on the jars. Doesn't seem fair. Bad God!  ;smackedbottom;

like u said the top one is just squash with salt in it as im afraid that is basically the secret to powerade and electrolyte drinks. If you feel you you can drink what dana is making then do it. As i said earlier your the only one really who knows what you could keep down. If the gaps between vomiting is increasing then it is definately a good sign. If it gets to over 2 hours without throwing your guts up you might wanna take advantage of it and try and get some solids down you. Maybe just start with some from fruit like a banana. You wanna eat something with a low glycaemic value like cereal or porridge or the likes.
Good luck!

Definitely sounds like food poisoning. Hopefully got whatever it was out now though. Hope you feel better soon fella.

sound to quick to be food poisoning

DO NOT UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES DRINK FIZZY LUCOZADE, it may cause bleeding and the way it is made up will cause water intake to drop(there is a warning on bottle about this anyway)

lucozade sport is fine,(and the orange is not too unpleasant a taste to have when its comming back up)  or isotonic, or 50/50 lemonade/water. i don't know about gator aid etc power aid, i assume they are similar to isotonic so should be fine.

DRINK AT ROOM TEMP NOT COLD, the shock of cold drinks on a weak stomach may cause extreme cramp and instant vomiting.

Coke is bad if you've thrown up a yellow substance, (comes after the green bile stage) this is the stomach stripping itself to repair, coke may cause damage and ulcers may form.

It sounds like gastro enteritis(sp) google it, i used to suffer from this every few months for about 2 years.

Do not try to eat until you ve had 24hrs clear of vomiting, you mouth produces precursors for digestion, the chemicals they trigger in the stomach will be present in such low quanties that food will sit there or worse be moved on undigested(and you will add shitting yourself to the equation)

just get to bed with lots to drink, stay warm because cold sweats and shakes are on the way, as your body concentrates on fixing the damage and diverts resources away from other areas, expect nasty headaches etc but don't take anything as your bowels can t handle it.

I know how horrid this is expect to be out of action for a weak snoops




we could just take you to be put down

Wow where were you earlier!!!!!

U a doc Mex??

ty very much, can I expect to keep being sick.

Should I see a doctor?

always wise to see a doctor snoops- better being safe and it may be something he can give you some pills for. just make sure you stay hydrated is the key thing.

you willl be sick every time you drink usually, but have to keep putting it in, some fluids will get into the system. You should see a doctor or call nhs direct at the very least, but not a lot can be done, extreme cases you ll end up on a drip.

snoops this should help

Thank you for your help. Am still drinking, but my body is aching all over, I have no energy and am a little disorientated. This sux.  :'(

Very sorry that you're sick, sounds like food poisoning. Flat coke, lots of (dunno why, came from a doc though). You'll be very dehydrated.
I know it's none of my business, but can you tell me what site you play your heads up game on, and what your username is? ;)
Good luck. It's never nice.

thats dehydration snoops, its not nice, but if the vomitings stopped your on the mend, usually ribs will ache from the vomiting.

No king i'm not a doctor, but from 14 to 18 i became very ill regularly in this way. aged 17 i ended up being ill for 11 weeks and dropping several stone.
I ended up in hospital and had to go under the knife, spent another year having tests of a rarther unpleasant nature(for suspected Chrones ). I've had it come back once in 16 years.
I had to learn to recognise it and live with it, but thankfully i'm over it now.

AND NO COKE, its the cilit bang of soft drinks

wow no wonder you know then!
Thanks for backing me up on coke, i cringed when people suggested that!

I studied Chrones a bit in uni, know how bad it is. Glad you over it mate!

Avoid coke, worse thing you can have.
Have a glass of water with pinch of salt in and sip this. The only way to combat the dehydration is to increase your sodium intake. It will be low at present due to all the vomitting you have been doing. the water can only pass through to your cells via sodium. No sodium, no way for the water to get into your cells.

When i'm ill/sick, I eat salted crisps as they are dry and contain sodium. Only thing that works for me but just personal preference.
If your still being sick by the morning, phone the gp. You may need medical intervention by then. Will consist of an antiemetic such as a phenathiazine, and either elctrolite drink or an IV line such as Balmans.

Try to get plenty of bed rest.

thx. I've been unable to move from my bed all day.

Unlucky... get well soon.

Would you describe your kitchen as (A) sparkling clean and spotless, or (B) dirty plates piled up by the kettle, old pots & pans festering in the sink, smells a bit of cat shit, and filth & grime everywhere?

I wouldn't go out of your way to take in salt. Yes you need a little, but salt will dehydrate you itself.

Food poisoning can come on quickly.

Phone NHS direct if your still ill and they will tell if you need a doctor.


Get well soon.

FFS you big Jessie .... 15 pints and a full english .... its the only way.

what you doing up this late/ early!!!!!!

I have only drunk 13 pints, i need another 2 before i can have my full english. so i thought i would get up early to fill my quota.

Such a GREAT bedside manner!! a man after my own heart

Stop being such a girl and get more than a nancy 15 pints down u!!!

LOL drinking lessons from a welshman ..... you drink sheep dip with a lemonade top !!!

There can be no sesh without a welshman in it to push the pace!!!!
Im a strongbow man so no girly lager piss for me!

Have you tried eating grass snoops . When my dog needed to bring something up she used to go out and eat the grass.when she regurgitated it she brought up whatever was making her not feel very well ........Woof.

I'm on my way...

You on the mend mate?

He's had so many contracting pieces of advice i wouldnt be surprised if he is worse!!!

lol

As there hasn't been a reply from Dana i think he is behaving just like my dogs and doing anything for a bit of attention.

Bad Dog!! get in your bed!!

FFS go to the doctor!!! (Tell him tikay)

You can always phone "NHS 24", goes something like this: 'You should be ok but if symptoms get worse visit your doctor".
I have it from a very authoritative source (well ok, Wikipedia) that coca cola acid toxicity is not really proven, I think it's 'prescribed' to get you some ready energy from all that glucose.

Hopefully the beagle is on the mend.................get well soon.

Snoops.. you need Dioralyte it contains all the things you need to rehydrate trust me.

You've got food poisoning, go to the hospital.

I agree with bolt....stop messing about and go and get ooked at NOW

I agree. No offence mate but someone of your build doesn't need to be losing a few pounds by not keeping anything down. Go and get looked at.

The Baron's got a point, I could probably handle a month of dysentry & survive the weight loss, you've no excess weight you can afford to lose.

Get down to the Doctors.

Bugger the Doctor - not literally like - but it's my experience that they are too busy to diagnose patients properly, and they don't speialise in any particular field of medicine - the body is a seriously clever, but complex, bit of kit, a "GP" only has a general understanding of how the body functions.

The best medicine for snoops is rest, sleep, & rehydrate via Dioralyte. The body's own highly sophisticated defence mechanisms will do the rest.

Get well soon Big Man.

Take the advice of a poker forum for buying lap-tops with hi-resolution screens and when to lead out with flush draws.

When you are sick, go to the doctor.

Ignore tikay, I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time.

Worry not Patrick, snoops ALWAYS does the exact opposite to what I suggest. I know what I'm doing......:)

Snoopy, seeing as you'll be very thin, looking pale, gaunt and tired you should see if you can find a Burnley John lookalike contest to enter - you'll walk it.

Thanks for the concern.

I got 4 hour sleep last night (although my body couldn't decide whether it was hot or cold) and managed to get down to the shop to buy some Lucazade Sport, which was one of the nicest things I've ever drunk - I was sick of water and my mouth was like an ash tray. However, it was a bit of a trek and took a lot of my energy up, so I'm back in bed, and haven't left it since.

The good news is that my stomach seems to be settling down as I haven't been been sick since last night. My body is still energy sapped though, my stomach is cramped and my joints hurt. Bizarrely, I feel like an old man.

I don't have an appetite whatsoever and haven't eaten for a couple of days, so am trying to figure out when the best time to strike is. I bought a bunch of bananas, so I may try to get one of those down me in a couple of hours.

Thanks again, I posted to make sure that I wasn't making myself worse, and although everyone was saying different things lol, the advice of taking orange squash and not eating worked really well. Cheers.

Get Dana to make you some chicken soup, it never fails.

oi .How do you know how an old man feels......................I generally use my hands! ;tk;

Get well soon M8.

I think my grandad's free tonight, not sure how his boyfriend would feel about it though.

Hope you're feeling better now Snoops.
