I am so sick. I don't think I've ever been this sick in my life.

And it happened so quickly: Friday night I was fine. I took advantage of some Christmas sales to go out shopping till midnight, and then came home, watched TV and answered comments, and went to bed. I woke up Saturday at 10 in serious pain to discover that doing anything- sitting up, curling on my side- except lying absolutely flat on my back induced vomiting. I can't eat. I can't stand for extended amounts of time. I can't concentrate on anything.

Wah. No fair, being sick at Christmastime.

*Gentle hugs*

Sounds like you should see a doctor.

I hope you feel better soon.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you- I feel much better now.

[eag.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's awful. Have you gone to the doctor's yet?

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Nah, I didn't end up going. No worries, though, as I'm over it now. ^^

[eag.livejournal.com]

Good to hear. :) Glad you're feeling better.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

oh, nasty. Try to stay hydrated. ::hugs::

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Very nasty. Trust me.

But thanks! ^_^

I echo what the others have said: it sounds like you need a doctor.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably did. But too late now! ^^; Thank you, though. *hugs*

[windschaser.livejournal.com]

Oh hon. Nothing constructive to add, but *snugs*

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's plenty constructive. There's nothing like well-wishes while you're sick. ^^

My sympathies-- that sucks. I'm crossing my fingers you'll be better by Christmas. (A number of people on my friendslist are sick-- yours sounds like food poisoning, but maybe it's the flu that's apparently going around.)

Meanwhile, try drinking Gatorade. If you get too dehydrated, you'll have to see a doctor.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And you know, I had thought food posioning too, if just because it was so quick and so much more painful than strands of the flu I've had before. But since I've now infected every single other person in the house, that theory's gone. Uh, whoops?

[osumbhulk.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that, hon. Please, feel better soon.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! I do, actually. *grins*

*Gentle hugs* Awwww, it really sucks being sick at Christmastime - especially *that* sick. Stay warm, try to drink rehydration drinks if you can (they're called "Dioralyte" and "Rehidrat" over here - dunno what they're called in the US), and it sounds like it might be a good idea if you can get a doctor to come out and see you.

Feel better soon!

Just not a certain doctor.

Hugs, lovely ladies.

*snerks* XD

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Thank you, I do feel better now. ^^

And wow. You guys get doctors that come to see you? I've never had that, we have to go see them.

[katsue_fox]

Really glad you're feeling better! ^_^

And getting a home visit from a doctor is fairly difficult here, but it can be done when the patient is too ill to visit the surgery. You just phone up and get added to the list of people needing home visits and hope that the doctor gets round to seeing you. Children, the elderly and the most urgent cases are obviously prioritized.

The UK National Health Service has its problems, but I'm ever so glad that we've got it!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

That's pretty cool. I don't know of anyone here who gets home visits, unless they're rich enough to pay for their own private doctor. Not that I know anyone like that, but celebrities and such do seem to get those privileges. No, the closest an average person comes is calling for an ambulance, and that's not really the same at all.

And yeah! It seems better than ours.

*sends you tonnes of love, virtual soup broth, and a soothing touch*

*mops brow*

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Awwwww, thank you! ^_^

*feels much better*

[walkerminion.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that!! I hope you get better soon. I've been sick for the past week and a half, and I'm about sick of being sick. (My partner's got the same thing.) Yuck. I guess "'tis the season" and all that. Take it easy and get well.

{Hugs}

Thank you, and I am feeling better already! But I'm so sorry for you- a week and a half is way too long to be sick. I hope it clears up soon. *big hugs*
