I am so glad that I have the blog app on my iPod. I just threw up like an extreme amount for the third time tonight. Basically this is the story. I just got over treatment for my second sinus infection within a short period of time last Friday. It was even a two week course of antibiotics. My runny nose continued after treatment and my sinus pressure came back about three days later. I called my doctor hoping for some relief. Instead he told me I needed a CT scan of my sinuses. Well I started college on Wednesday with orientation on Tuesday so I couldn't go for the scan until today, well yesterday since its like midnight, almost one am. In the mean time my sinuses got even worse. I got possibly the worst cold slash sinus thing I ever remember. I got all the symptoms. Runny nose. Stuffy nose. Post nasal drip. Mucus running out of my nose at random times. Sinus pressure under my eyes and behind my eyes and in my cheeks. Irritated throat. Cough. And terrible, miserable sneezing. Then later today things took a turn for the worst. I got terrible nausea and this uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. So I threw up a lot at one time. I called my doctors office hoping to get an on call doctor for some advice for some relief. Then I got the worst nausea I could ever dream up. I mean it was like every centimeter I moved my body the nausea got a million times worse. I threw up again and ended up laying down on the bathroom floor a few more times. The nurse and doctor were no help. They first thought I was pregnant. I was like uh no defiantly not. I think I can be honest to them about that one. Then they actually advised me to not take my nausea and vomiting medicine. Even though I have a history of severe dehydration and vomiting. They were basically like oh just let it keep coming. The nurse actually said well, you didn't puke eight times or anything. Oh so I have to wait until I'm throwing up a half dozen or more times before they take me seriously. They told me all these home remedies hoping they would work, which obviously don't work because I've had vomiting and nausea a million times before. Trust me I've tried basically everything in the area of self remedies and medications. I finally got the strength to pull myself off of the bathroom floor an into my bed. I had to self talk myself through the terrible nausea and be sure not to move even a little bit. I finally fell asleep. I woke up awhile ago and tried to lay on my other side. This time the nausea got worse. I slept for maybe five minutes. I don't even know because that part is all a big blur. I remember sitting up because my nausea was that terrible. Then I ran to the bathroom and called my mom like I'm going to puke now. I just made it and threw up a ton a ton like it would not stop. It burned my throat so bad from the stomach acid. It still burns terribly. I went back to my bed feeling really good in my stomach. Like a huge relief. I told my mom to go back to bed. Because honestly I don't see myself really sleeping unless by chance I can fall asleep sitting up. I am not laying down again I can tell you that. I just really want like a frozen coke or something. I'm so thirsty and I would imagine dehydrated. I'm scared or rather terrified to put a thing in my mouth and stomach. Right now my nausea is pretty good. I am a little queasy but no where near like before. I'm kind of in severe stomach pain. Which could be from my IBS or stomach muscles or just pain. I don't know what to do except sleep and I really can't sleep right now. I'm so thirsty. I want a frozen coke from a gas station and I don't know why but I really do. It's also terribly snowy outside and I'm sure the roads are frozen. I want some pain medicine too but the nurse was like blah blah no ibuprofen because of your stomach. Then why would the GI doctor give it to me specifically for my stomach? Ah it makes no sense. I'm going to curl up under my blankets and just lay here. Praying that I don't throw up again. Except now the nausea is returning. I'm in so much pain. Ah gosh.
