Lower abdomen pain, food poisoning? Appendicitis? Something else?

I have been on holiday all week, was due to home today and last night at 11pm I got sudden stomach cramps in my lower abdomen quickly followed by diarrhoea, I took pain killers and anti sickness meds ( always have these on me as I am petrified of being sick ), the pain got worse and became more localised to the right hand side, eventually at 2.30am ( after having a bath ) I managed to get a hours sleep, at 7am I woke the dd's and decided it was best to go home ( I was on my own with the dd's and dh was at home ), managed to drive home in a lot of pain and spent the rest of the day in bed. I have now been in pain for almost 24 hours, I have a dull pain all the time and then a more intense pain which comes and goes, I can't seem to get comfortable and my temperature keeps going up and down.

We ate out yesterday and I had prawns ( something I don't normally risk ), could it be food poisoning? I also have overran cysts and get pain around ovulation but have never had it this bad, could it be a cyst causing it? Or should I be worried about appendicitis ?

I know I should probably get checked out but I have no one to take me to A&e as dh would need to stay with the dd's ( who are now in bed ), dh has offered to take me in the morning if I'm still in pain.

Just seen this message and wanted to see how you are? I would personally get checked out if I were you as it sounds like it could potentially be a lot of things.

woke up feeling a bit better, attempted a piece of toast but now feeling grotty again Sad. Pretty sure its some kind of food poisoning, hopefully im on the mend, just wish I could eat something, toast bloats me anyway as gluten doesn't agree with me, I don't have much else in as I have just returned from holiday, might try some apple later.
