So apparently from now on when I am about to buy any kind of pizza, or order pizza, I'm going to have to ask if there's garlic in it. Apparently my sense of smell is so selective or I'm just so stupid that I can't smell it. Being a vampire, I am garlic intolerant. Completely. If I eat garlic, I get either Exorcist style vomitting, or the kind of diahhrrea that leaves you with your hands clenching the sides of the toilet, with the feeling that you just went to the moon without your oxygen tank.
Two days later and I still feel like absolute shit. I'm slowly getting to the point of being able to sit up and stand up for more than a few minutes, but before that, I couldn't do either for more than a few minutes without getting dizzy or nauseated.
I have to lay flat on my back, hands away from my mid-section, or else I'll get sick again.
My stomach is so cramped that I cannot get comfortable no matter how much I try to relax, and it's one of the major reasons I cannot stand or sit long.
My mom brought me lots of popsicles and crackers and Maaloxx....but even the highest strength Maaloxx isn't helping. I tried a heating pad and it helped a little bit with the cramping, but not enough to get me to sleep.
And sleep. Ugh...we won't go there. In and out of sleep like mad. Sleep for an hour here, a half hour there, then tossing and turning my head for what seems like forever, laying there staring at the ceiling....trying to get back to sleep....no idea when I'll be able to get back to sleep.....I only got about 4 hours of sleep total yesterday. I couldn't even finish taking a shower, I got so dizzy after just 5 minutes in the shower that I had to sit down in the shower.
I can't lose anymore hours at work or anymore pay. I need to get better. This is the worst case of stomach flu I have ever had in my life.
On Sunday when it all began, I vomitted to the point where there was literally nothing left....I had the dry heaves. NOTHING left. I was done vomitting by Sunday night, but the sick feeling and cramping will NOT go away.
On the plus side....I did not smoke one cigarette on Sunday, I tried to smoke a few times yesterday and each time I wasn't even able to smoke more than a few puffs before feeling like I'd vomit again and putting it out and going back in.
So silly....I've had bronchitis and so many other crazy sicknesses before and never quit smoking and just kept doing it (even when my lungs were the sickest part of me!) and this time around, I'm so sensitive that the smell of smoke and the taste of tobacco makes me want to vomit.
If this stomach flu doesn't go away, I'm fairly certain I will be a nonsmoker by the time it's all said and done.
