This bug sent both hubby and I to the ER, about a week apart around Christmas. Worst Christmas ever. I lost 7 pounds in 2 days. Not a recommended manner of weight loss.
I was not sick this past Christmas. Thank God because I WAS sick the two before! Two years in a row I came down with the nasty stomach bug on Christmas day. Both times I had to go to the ER to stop the vomiting. I would throw up and think it’s all good but then I’d throw up again and again. For 6 hours I tried to get some sleep but was so queasy so I went to hospital and got that shot to help it stop. I’d had that shot before and it worked wonderfully but those last couple of times I was still vomiting on the way out of the hospital after being told to go home and suck on ice cubes there’s nothing more to be done. Problem is when I get stomach flu my body will not stop retching...even when there’s nothing left in it. The whole family did get it as well but most of them didn’t have such a bad time of it. My daughter and I felt like we were dying when it first hit us. We got hot, tingly and literally fell on the floor unable to move. I HATE this bug and I’m sooo paranoid about getting it again!
