Sick again :(

Feb 24, 2006 00:10

Before I get into being sick, for those interested, I've posted the pictures of tanthe, Dashiell and my trip to South Africa.

You can see them here: http://www.neuromancy.net/gallery/v/SA/.

Well, as the subject says, I'm sick. I seem to have contracted some kind of stomache bug or something. It robs me completely of my appitite, and makes my stomache all crampy and such. It also makes me need to go to the bathroom a lot and gives me headaches.

All I have had to eat since Monday night's dinner has been:
- A Starbucks coffee cake (Tuesday morning, I did not feel sick then). Though even at this stage I knew something was up, because my digestion system was not quite working right (there was more fluid in my bowels than there should be).
- One spoonfull of soup and a small piece of bread (ie. french loaf sliced) with some herb cheese on it (Wednesday night, trying to force myself to eat).
- Half a bowl of cereal (today, I think).

ie. not very much at all. My body is starting to complain about the lack of nutrients, however every time I get in the kitchen, especially if I smell food being prepared, my brain just goes 'wooo, no.'.

By tuesday night the only thing in my bowels was fluid (gross, I know, but hey). And of course, I went to bed early tuesday night but did not end up sleeping much through the night. I even had to cancel a phone interview scheduled for Wednesday, since my brain was just sort of buzzing, making it hard to concentrate.

Anyway, I'm hoping my appitite kicks in soon. I go through brief periods where I think I could eat something, but its usually things like grilled chicken, or chips (aka. crisps) or french fries (aka. chips). Nothing that is particularly good for me, and probably not the best thing to re-introduce my stomache to after mostly starving it for 3 days.

*sigh* Any suggestions on what I SHOULD ask Lilith to make me to help ease my stomache back into food? Soup is out, since the soups we have are all a little heavy and often taste 'tinny' in my opinion, I'm not that huge a fan of them even when I'm not sick (though it might be the brand).

Anyway, I'm off to take some Tums (heartburn meds), vitamins, echanatia (immune booster, just in case) and some NyQuill.
