[ . Down with the Sickness *TMI * .]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I hope everyone had a Wonderful Christmas! & Hopefully a wonderful new years.
My health as always has been very rocky, on Christmas Eve I got really sick; thankfully I was able to eat and keep my food down. I was hoping it was something else, but on Christmas day after eating it really pulled me down. Add a bit of stress mixed into it all. And now I'm just a huge mess. I'm not sure if it's a flu - or just Vertigo & IBS kickign my ass. Because i feel so damn nauseated; i can feel my chest burning (causing me to panic about throwing up). And for the past couple of days for hours on end it feels like everything around me is spinning it's just awful. I'm hoping to get better before the New Year, or at least by Thursday.
Yesterday & Today were the worst, I barely ate for two days, getting the shakes and as much as I try to force myself to eat anything (even soup) I feel so sick that even the feeling of swallowing anything makes it feel like my body is just going to quickly reject it. God I just hope I can eat today. Fingers crossed.
Not sure if anyone knows foods / drinks or anything that could help calm my body down. And hopefully have something that can sort of settle everything down. Gravol has little to no affect, aside from making me feel groggy. So any advice would be so wonderful, thank you.
I also want to give a Shout - Out too a few friends, for helping me, giving me advice, and calming me down and allowing me to ramble on for hours about my health. Thank you xoxoxo
. Questions .
1) What did you get for Christmas
2) What are your New Years Resolutions?
3) If you got no gifts - is there anything you're hoping to get?
4) When Sick or dizzy what helps you the most?
As far as settling things down, light sodas like 7-up or ginger ale is supposed to help. one thing i always do if i feel sick is lay down and take deep breaths and eat a mint (usually spearmint, but the kind probably doesnt matter). somehow the mint thing always helps for me, i just suck on it and don't chew it, that way it kind of keeps me focused on my mouth and not my tummy and also it's like eating without actually eating and sometimes that's enough to encourage my stomach to settle down. you may have tried it already but i thought i'd mention it just in case!
good luck mandy, i really hope you feel better soon!
Liquidy yogurt seems to help.
I was also able to keep down scrambled eggs.
