Woke up not long ago feeling really sick then eventually threw up. DS was vomiting this exact time early hours on Friday so looks like I’ve caught that🙃 Why does this shit always happen at this time, just want to sleep😴 Hi to anyone awake!

I'm awake! Alarm woke me at 4am as usual but not fun because I've somehow developed a cold - probably from ds as he had one last week!

Hope you feel better soon Flowers

itsgettingweird · 16/09/2024 04:08

Santa congratulations

Haveacuppaandwaitforthistoblowover · 16/09/2024 04:09

Hello, I'm awake too, listening to my little doggy snore on the sofa.

Watching Life on Mars and making a chicken burger and chips because it's totally normal behaviour at 4am!

I hope you all feel better soon, I'm only up at this time as faught a migraine all day, which made me feel sick, never got up till 5pm (couldn't physically get up any sooner).

Oh and CONGRATULATIONS to the new mum x

I'm on a trolley in a hospital. On IV meds for very low phosphate. My BP monitor is alarming continuously cause the bottom reading is over 100 all the time. The call beel doesn't seem to work. I've tried calling for someone to turn off the alarm but no one came in. The call bell itself doesn't seem to work. And I can't get to the door cause the IV stand is attached to the bed. Help.

Oh no that's terrible. Hope you get it sorted soon Flowers

roughride24 · 16/09/2024 04:10

I'm up. DD was sick this morning then absolutely fine for the rest of the day, she woke up an hour ago with stomach ache. I'm really hoping that's all it is and there's no more bleaching stuff needed.
Also hoping DS doesn't get it 🤞
Hope you feel better soon

Coffeeandbiscuits9 · 16/09/2024 04:11

Got a can of Coke in the fridge, anyone know if I can have some small sips? Really thirsty but stomach is making strange loud noises🥴

Oh that's the worst, needing sleep but you can't move from the toilet.

OP

Think about puppies and kittens.

Just been sick again, got that relief feeling finally😫 too wide awake to go to sleep now though I think, got to get DS2 up for school at 7😴 hope everyone gets some sleep and hugs to those who are awake for worrying/feeling unwell

That’s good news OP. Can I just say to everyone who is sick on this thread, buy some ORS/dioralyte please! You get so so dehydrated when vomiting that you can quickly worsen. This helps keep your body properly absorbing the hydration so you don’t end up severely dehydrated.

i buy these ones Dioralyte or these ones ORS

if you don’t have access to those and are continually vomiting dissolve 1/2tsp salt and 2 tbsp sugar in 1l of water, then see a doctor as soon as.

other tips are BRAT- bananas, rice, applesauce, toast. (Plain pasta, rice, soup also good) and baby food pouches. Easy to digest and get some calories and nutrition in.

if you haven’t kept anything down for 2+ days then see a doctor asap or call 111.

ok doctor hat off Grin good luck everyone.

Rowgtfc72 · 16/09/2024 04:17

I'm up. Sorry you ( and others) are feeling rough.
I'm sat like goldilocks eating porridge before work, also with small dog snoring next to me.
Don't sleep, due to bloody perimenopause, heating came on at 2.14 so had to go downstairs and turn that off, and I've itched all night. In a and e yesterday getting antibiotics for insect bite that was nicely tracking up my arm and the leaflet with the anti bs assures me i will have nausea, sickness and diarrhea to look forward to. Joy!

I'm in the ED of a large teaching hospital in Dublin. They have no beds😭. Thanks for your kind offer though.

Coke is ok, take very small sips, I mean very small. Like a sip a minute. Then, see how you tolerate it.

Sorry your feeling unwell, hope it passes for you soon. I'm awake with baby, he's just turned 24 hrs old 😁 here's hoping we can all get some more sleep

Congratulations @SantasRubiksCube
The best reason to be awake 🥰
Take care and enjoy your new born hugs ❤️❤️

I am awake as I have Covid yet again 😩

HowDidThisHappenDinesh · 16/09/2024 04:24

I’m also up being sick 😖 hoping that’s the last of it now but I also have an awful headache and don’t think I’ll manage any sleep. And I twisted my ankle today too so I’m feeling very sorry for myself.

letmego24 · 16/09/2024 04:24

Hi all, sorry you are ill OP. I'm awake too and up early for work in the morning - typical 🙃

if you see someone coming past (and they aren’t obviously in a rush!) then talk to them about it. If not call the ED of the hospital and give them name and location and hopefully someone will come by soon.

hope you feel better, low phosphate is shit Flowers

babbi · 16/09/2024 04:25

Best wishes to everyone else too , hope you’re all on the mend ❤️‍🩹 soon. X

Nastyaa · 16/09/2024 04:26

Woke up about half hour ago and can't get back to sleep. Got to be up in 2 hours for a fun filled day of work & school runs.

I also really want a bowl of cereal.

Coffeeandbiscuits9 · 16/09/2024 04:26

@HowDidThisHappenDinesh Oh no😫 it’s horrible isn’t it. I hate being sick. How long has it lasted for you so far? I think even if I could sleep I’d have trouble considering how loud my stomach is gurgling😒

Mammma91 · 16/09/2024 04:28

Sorry to hear your unwell - I hope it passes soon. I’m awake making a bottle for teething baby. Due a feed at 5am so I’m waiting for it to cool down before heading back to bed and feeding. I’ll be up for the school run at 6am and I’m so tired!

TayceOnToast · 16/09/2024 04:32

I’m awake because my poor dog shat herself at 2:30… had to let her out in the garden, clean and disinfect the floor then take her crate and blankets into the shower to hose all the poo off….yayyyyyyyyy
Now can’t get back to sleep

Stirmish · 16/09/2024 04:36

I just went downstairs to get some toast and cheese

There is now no bread left so I put my bread machine on then realised I'd forgotten to put the paddle back in. So had to put my hand in squidgy half mixed dough.

Back to enjoying Jason Momoa with a cup of tea and my toast

I'm glad they found an excuse to keep him on our screens

Oof I sympathise Sad. Had to strip both dds beds again, and clean bed frames and walls as projectile vomited on the wall Envy. Now all three of us are on the sofa with bowls and blankets watching minions Grin.

Stirmish · 16/09/2024 04:39

I wanted to go outside and bring in the towels I left out on the line but too afraid of going out alone at this time in the dark Blush

Drawahardline · 16/09/2024 04:40

Stirmish bring your phone for light and to call 999 if necessary Grin

Outside is scary and especially so if you just watched Wednesday Shock
