Superhotelworker, when I told you I was a fanboy and love your stories

Try having an adverse reaction to acylcovir! I didn't realize that's what my problem was for two days either and kept taking the damn stuff.

I got to the point where I couldn't keep water down. Then I ran out of anything to throw up, including bile. Just heaving. Hard enough to break a blood vessel in my eye.

Between that, a bad reaction to hydrocodone, and having shingles, I had eaten a grand total of two bowls of soup and about 8 oz of Gatorade....for a week. I probably should have had an saline IV by that point.

I lost about 10 lbs that I can sorely afford. Then I got a cold and lost another 5 lbs. I understand people wanting to lose weight, but this is not a plan that I recommend.

Ug, I sympathize, I had 2 horrendously bad pregnancies. I get morning sickness morning noon and night for the entire time, not just part of the first trimester. There is nothing like hurking the nausea meds [thank god for suppositories!] and one memorable morning I took breakfast when Mom handed me the plate, and walked it into the bathroom, dumped it in the toilet and flushed ... I decided to cut out the middleman=( Turns out my body really rejects the idea of pregnancy ... second time around my kidneys shut down, and I dropped from 135-140 to 95 in just under 2 weeks. I looked like I had just escaped Sobibor My muscle tone was so shot I was on light duty at work for almost 6 months - I did paperwork and inventory, and would work on the spare glove box sand blaster as an exercise in rebuilding my torso and arm muscles. First week back I could manage about 5 minutes at 15 pound air with half an hour breaks between.

People who never lost weight through illness don't realize that there are penalties involved =(

Yes, there is a heavy price. I'm constantly on the watch for weight loss, because, for me, it wouldn't be something I desired. In a diabetic, unexplainable, sudden weight loss is a dangerous thing.

[Mytical]

Yes, it is a bad thing. Which is why my my going from a size 50 to a size 46 makes me nervous. I've actually been drinking a LOT of water, and a lot LESS sugared drinks however..so never know if it is the Diabetes or what.

[Kristev]

Yes, there is a way. Get an A1C hemoglobin reading. That will tell you exactly what's going on with your sugar levels over a three month period.

[Mytical]

The last time I took one, it was a hand held (a good time ago, and it had limits) and it was off the chart (ie it was too high for it to read). Since then I have been taking my blood sugar (still a bit high, but barely over borderline now), drinking a lot of water, and though not exactly behaving..am much better then I was. Still losing weight, however, despite the lower blood sugar readings.

Was that really the room number? My pukey guest was assigned the same room number.

Yeah, that really was the room number. Must be a puke magnet or something!
