Irv is dying of dysentery (Icky)

[Becks]

Goddamn it! You beat me to it.

I was due to beat someone at saying something!

[blas]

I had a wicked case of food poisoning (although I call it attempted murder of a vampire) when I unknowingly ate pizza with just a hint of garlic in it, the spring before last.

I had a brief stint of the shits, but it was mostly the pukes. It lasted two days, then I was blocked up for two days after that. I had stomach cramps beyond pain of menstrual cramps or Charlie Horses or burned out muscles.

Welcome to the fun of IBS!

Especially when one has the kind of stress I've had the last few weeks, plus a diet adjustment to try and fix some OTHER problems I've been having!

*grumbles*

Honey. Best remedy for dehydration.

[Victory Sabre]

I had something like that 5 years ago, except I had BAD cramps, and blood, and I slept on the toilet. I lost 20 pounds.

Drink LOTS of water. Eat bananas, applesauce and yogurt. These things can be easily digested, and the yogurt can help restore the natural bacteria in your intestines.

And now today I'm all backed up. Thanks, blas, for jinxing me.

Oh well, it's an improvement.

Dysentery? All you need is cholera, a snake bite, drowning and dying of a broken arm and you can be a one man Oregon Trail death machine.

I have a t-shirt with a bright green, badly-pixellated picture of an ox-drawn wagon that says underneath in equally badly-pixellated letters: YOU HAVE DIED OF DYSENTERY.

This is the shirt that I customarily wear to visit my parents in the hospital. The current tally is that the staff at two area hospitals think it's hilarious and the staff at one hospital greets it with a disapproving frown.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I have to get one of those shirts sometime, just because I'm such a dork for funny t-shirts.

Now to find one....*off to palmercash.com

Boo-yuh. My curiosity benefits all!

This sounds so bassackwards, but I'm pretty sure it's normal to be a little backed up after a bount of the shits or the pukes.

That would be this one.

the ones that frown clearly don't get the joke and take it way too personally.

Oh, my damn, I might have to buy that!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, when you have dysentary AND are blocked up at the same time...THAT'S the time to worry.

Becks, I laughed til I cried.
