OMG, I hope you are feeling better! Maybe you should be seen by a doctor? I dunno, I have never suspected food poisoning, but that sounds awful.

I really hope you are feeling better soon!

Btw, when i looked at food Poisoning under Medline Plus, this is what I found:

Call your doctor if:

You have diarrhea and are unable to drink fluids due to nausea or vomiting.
You are on diuretics and have diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting.
Diarrhea lasts for more than 2 to 3 days.
There is blood in your stools.
You have a fever over 101°F.


Call 911 if:

You have signs of dehydration (thirsty, dizzy, lightheaded, faint).
Bleeding is excessive or your stools are maroon or black.
You are short of breath or having trouble breathing.
Your heart is racing, pounding, or skipping.
You may have poisoning from mushrooms, fish, or botulism.
You have any nervous system symptoms like weakness, double vision, difficulty speaking, or paralysis.
You have trouble swallowing.

Maybe it would be a good idea to be seen? I don't want to sound alarmist, but you do have the signs and I just wouldn't want you to take a chance with something that could be potentially serious.


Please keep us updated and again, I hope you feel better soon!

Oh no, poor thing. Hope you get better soon.

Sushi! I don't eat raw fish or raw anything for that reason.
A long time ago, 10 years maybe, I ate pork and it wasn't cooked well, OMG! I almost die, that was the worst experience of my life, i was in the hospital for a week, until this day no pork ever, and same for seafood, it can be deadly.

Take Care!

Hope you feel better soon.

Ugh.

Bleh.

Hope you are feeling better soon. Food poisoning will just rip your guts out if you are not careful.

BTW, where I live, a large portion of the population (myself included) thinks that raw seafood is best used as BAIT, & not much else..........

Hope you're on the mend. Been there! Mine was a raw oyster. I used to like sushi too. No more. I've never been that sick before or since. I'll stick to cooked seafood. It's just too risky these days. Feel better!

 

[swanmom]

Oh, MY! I've been there too. I have vivid not-so-fond memories of how sick I was from food poisoning. Sounds like you are through the worst of it, though. Now try some oatmeal. I know you probably can't stand the thought but if you could tolerate a little at a time, it'll really helped settle your stomach and let you start to get some strength back. Hope this continues to 'pass quickly.' (Sorry, couldn't resist )

I once had a raw oyster kick my butt!! Man it was rough, but I'm addicted so I'm just more careful from where I eat 'em now. As far as sushi, I've probably eaten it 4-5 times a month for the last 15 years and have never once had a problem. This is a great lesson to buy only from good restaurants and never eat the stuff that sits out in the grocery store...I don't care what the "eat before..." date says!!!
