To have almost called an ambulance due to being in extreme extreme pain with food provisioning

[PandaPicnic]

Had a curry sat night went to bed at 12
Was fine

Woke at 3am and had terrible sickness and diarrhoea
Non stop until 7am
Was in exscrusiating pain
Was sweating shiver
Could only crawl along floor

Fell asleep about. 730am till ten am
Then felt rough all day but only
Had two more lots of diarrhoea

Oh bloody ipad auto correct

Food poisioning

Have you had any rehydration sachets? You need to stay hydrated.

You should call environmental health on the restaurant.

Hope you feel better.

I didn't have any rehydration sachets on me
As I was away from home

I couldn't even stand
It was worse than childbirth

Are you ok now?

Are you sure it was food poisoning?

Do you think it could have been the curry
.?

I did have a prawn mayo sandwhich from m and s at lunchtime
But felt fine after, had that about 12 noon

I have had this and felt exactly the sane as you, I nearly called an ambulance to, the pain was excruciating, I put it down to food poisoning as well.
Hope you feel better now.

Honestly I was right on the verge of calling them
as I just didn't know what to do

I was like this last time I had d&v. Managed to phone DH from the bathroom as felt like I was going to pass out. He said I was literally grey. Had to keep dropping to floor to get any relief from the pain - yes, agree it was worse than childbirth. Don't blame you for nearly calling an ambulance. I was close to asking DH to call one - not sure what they would have done though!

I was saying to my dh please please help me

and he was going oh you'll be ok

I said I think I might need an ambulance
he said as if they come out for food poisoning

Probiotic tablets really help, I had a nasty case of food poisoning last year that lasted 10 days (exacerbated by IBS) and I genuinely thought I would die at one point. Ended up hospitalised due to dehydration so keep up your fluids!

Oh you poor thing. I'd ring the out of hours doctor first and then see what they'd have said

how do you feel now?

I wonder if the ambulance people can put you on a drip?

And don't take Imodium because it will actually take the bug longer to get out of your system!

I was in a hotel at the seaside

I nearly called reception and said I need a dr....

You need to get your faeces tested, then they can trace what it is that has affected you.

You poor poor thing. I too can sympathise with the dropping to the floor thing, I once felt so so dreadful, every time I sat up (which had to be done to get on the loo) I could literally feel my bp drop and thought I would pass out. Then there's the temperature changes, the cramping agony of the stomach pains. It's just horrible.

I hope you're feeling a bit more like yourself now. Fluids and sleep if you can manage it.

You poor thing.

For future reference you can easily make your own rehydration solution from a mix of salt, sugar and water. Sip a spoonful every five or ten mins.

I think it's one teaspoon of salt, eight teaspoons of sugar and a litre of water, but do check!

Sounds like salmonella. I had it once from some bad hummus, and it is the sickest I've ever been in my life. And how I know my husband really loves me.

Yeah I thought I was going to blackout
was rught on the verge

I wouldnt call an ambukance lightly
I n fact I've never called one in my life

even though in hindsight I should have once when I had a really bad miscarriage and hemmorage
I actually think I put my life in danger that time and I was an idiot to not call 999
But I was terifed they would make me have a erpoc op

- yes mine too elephant. Poor man - one minute sleeping peacefully the next having to attend to... well, I don't need to go into details. I'll never forget the look on his face!

I had similar three weeks after I had ds2 by emcs. It was the most appalling pain ever and childbirth was fresh in my memory. I ended up taking Imodium because I needed it to stop I was so terrified of bursting my scar. I could only crawl because if I stood up my blood pressure dropped. You are not being unreasonable.

My dh just stayed in bed

I don't want to frighten anyone but please never assume this is food poisoning, especially if you have a temperature too.

My "food poisoning" was bacterial pneumonia, septicemia and peritonitis and I did nearly die. My DH is the only reason I am still alive - he kept phoning the doctor/ooh until eventually a paramedic realised what was going on an I was hospitalised.

It's rare to get but I would never ever assume, especially with severe and uncontrollable d and v and pain, that it is food poisoning and try to ride it out.
