Yesterday I woke up from my day of sleep very nauseous. I ate only yoghurt and gingerale.... and then promptly vomited them up. I couldn't even make it to the bathroom only got as far as the garbage disposal. I took a nap and tried a few bites of yogurt again. I then proceeded to projectile vomit excorcist style all over myself. Clothes and hair included. I slept restlessly through the night. My BBT this am was 100.14 go figure. So I feel like crap. I managed to drink about 4 oz of water earlier this morning and take a bath, but i don't think I can stomach anymore. Anyone have any home remedies that make you feel better? It definatley doesn't help that I just cashed in all my sick time for a check and was supposed to work tonight.

ok you have been throwing up all weird for a few days...GO TO THE DOCTOR!

*man us nurses suck at being the patient *

its the weekend and I can't even seem to find a doctor on call. I think this is unrelated to my previous nausea because of the fever. It feels like stomach flu.

eta: the last thing I want is to go to the hospital.... shudder

Dairy products + carbonated beverages + nausea = PROJECTILE VOMITING!! I cant think of a worse combination when sick, haha. For sure stay away from anything dairy.

When I have a stomach bug, I like to sip on room temperature flat ginger ale, occasional nibble of saltine crackers, and chicken broth (no noodles). But as far as home remedies, I think its just a matter of the bug running it's course. That...and curling in the fetal position with a big blanket. Try your best to at least intake some liquids...anything you can tolerate is better than nothing. Did you get your flu shot recently? Is it coming out of the other end too? Maybe you can get a script for phenergan, it will help with the nausea AND put you to sleep...bonus. Hope you feel better soon. I HATE stomach bugs.

yes i have it coming out both ends. It's coming out clear now. I tried to call my doctor to get a prescription for some phenergan or compazine suppositories, but because it's saturday I got "If this is an emergency please hang up and call 911" BAH. Dh is going to get me pedialyte, gatorade, gingerale and jello. The six ounces of water is all i could keep down since yesterday morning. But i'm going to try again.

Compazine and phenergan---I love how we don't mess around and go for the big guns!!!! LOL
