Glad to hear!!  Another thing that is good to drink is flat sprite.  The other

drinks are to sugary for me and my PCP said that was OK and my kids' pediatrian

said the same thing and about the BRAT foods.  Paris

[ ] Re: When to contact Dr with a virus or bacteria? UPDATE

I thought I had better update myself. Went to Dr yesterday.. She told me

I am moderately dehydrated and to stop drinking pop. instead she said

Gatoraid or Poweraid or Pedialyte and to try eating " BRAT " which made

me laugh. I was thinking " Bratwursts? What is she thinking!? " but she

meant Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast. Those are staying down and

she prescribed phenergan for nausea and vomiting prevention. That is

better but the diarrhea is still an amazing power of nature!

Today was when my husband was to go to the pain mgmt Dr and i wasn't

able to go with him.

Try taking half of the Phenergan. It works for me if I am not sooo very

nauseated.

UPDATE

I upchucked yesterday and today too. Geez but this is getting old. i

am drinking as much as i can stand which is probably still less than

i should be. We are still watching to make sure i don't get

dyhydrated any more than i already am.

Dr. gave me fenergin, no i can't spell it, for the nausea and when it

is in my system i am better but not when i sleep. The med really

makes me loopy and punchdrunk. At least i begged off work til monday.

what works for me when I get diarrhea is rice. I'm sorry to hear that you are

sick. at the moment I have a runny nose so lets hope I'm not getting sick since

I'm suppose to have surgery in november and have to be infection free til then.

[ ] Re: When to contact Dr with a virus or bacteria? UPDATE

I may have turned the corner on Saturday as I didn't upchuck at all.

Diarrhea was still present. I am so SICK of Powerade and 7-up!

Bananas & applesauce...I may never eat them again. I needed to take

the kids to church today but I slept thru the alarm and the kids let

me sleep till noon. I really needed the rest.

Not having regular food, oh my gosh, the cravings I was having and am

having! I couldn't take it when I got up....had some BBQ with a baked

potatoe and sour cream. Figured if that didn't jumpstart my digestive

system nothing would. Since I haven't been able to flush this illness

out then I'll push it out with solid food! Seems to be working so

far. No more diarrhea but boy...the gas has been impressive!

I'm excited to be taking my medications again, too. Never thought i'd

say that! I was suffering withdrawl from my antidepressant and that

was distinctly unpleasant. By tomorrow the shakes and jitters should

be gone. At least I hope so as I have to go to work tomorrow. On top

of all this I make a call Mon. evening to see if I have to report

Tues a.m. for JURY DUTY! How's that for a stress topper! I have to

laugh. My guardian angel must be close to having a heart attack if

he's been keeping up with me and my family's issues the last week or

two! 8-)

Oh well. If I have to report Tuesday maybe I can manage to vomit one

more time on the judge so i can get out of jury duty.

Dalanne,

 

Glad you are feeling better.  I like the idea of one more time for the judge!!

also I love the expression after your name.  I had to fwd that to my hubby.  He

always comments I'm only a nut in my family....everyone else is nuttier!! Good

days! Paris
