Ugh.

I feel like someone is punching their fist into my abdomen, grabbing all of my guts, and twisted as hard as possible. I'm going home at 2. (I had a random 3 hours of time from the day the Scientist went to the hospital, and I'm taking them, darnit!) I told my boss what was going on, and he said that if the abdominal cramping started today, it will most likely feel worse tomorrow. Awesome! I can't wait!

Ugh. I hope your boss is wrong and it's just something you ate working its way through.

I'd call Subway and ask if they get their eggs from the suppliers that have been recalled.

I hate food poisoning. Do yourself a favor and suck down liquids like a fiend, even if you don't want to. Dehydration on top of food poisoning SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS. And totally necessitates a trip to walk-in care for an IV. I say this with much, MUCH authority.

(Feel better!)

Also, do NOT take Pepto or similar even though your stomach is killing you.

My friend Jeff had food poisoning once a couple years ago and took some, and he didn't understand why it was lasting so long when it'd been gone in a day or two when he'd had food poisoning before. His wife the microbiologist found out that he'd taken Pepto and gave him a lecture explained to him that when you have food poisoning, it's quite different than usual stomach issues and those medicines actually prolong the germ's life in your intestines.

Are you feeling any better today, Ms Ellen?


I just saw this and thought it might cheer you up:
