Re:Avoiding this *#@^% sickness.</font>
I was taken out of my home at 4 AM 12/23/99 in an ambulance, after experiencing projectile vomiting and violent, uncontrolable diarrhea.
I spent the next 4 hours hooked up to an IV bag in emergency; & most of the next 36 hours in what can best be described as a semi-consciuos condition. I am still recovering. My father is beginning to show similar symptoms. He refuses to go to the ER; but insists that he will wait until the doctor opens tomorrow morning.
Be Advised: This IS NOT FLU! I am fully innoculated. This is something else, and could be <font color=red>DANGEROUS</font> if left untreated.
<font size=5>If you display any signs of severe diarrhea or vomiting, get medical help IMMEDIATELY.</font>
Don’t worry about getting this mixed up with something else-you’ll know it if it hits you.
And don’t try to tough it out alone! Get somebody to help you–friend, neighbor, Er, cop–ANYBODY!! This is no joke!!
I don’t wanna lose any of you people.

Ummm, sounds really bad but uh, unless you can tell us a bit more I don’t really know WHAT to make of this. Sounds like a really nasty dose of food poisoning… and I don’t want to cast aspersions here but ummm, if you are so sick why are you posting here? You just signed on and then you come out with this big scare thing. I mean, I hope you get better and all, but I find this just to the left side of weird. Still, I guess we should all be careful. Thanks!
Byzantine is clueless. Byzantine needs to pay attention. Byzantine will in the future READ THE FUCKING BOARD!!! Sorry! Byzantine now prostrates herself before the other board members for lightly pressing her boot on a “newbie”. Byzantine is going to stop referring to herself in the third person and go have a fucking beer…
Hey Byz, unlax! Beers (multiple) will almost always cure what ails you, and I oughta know! As for your diagnosis, food poisoning sounds like the ticket (and Bosda’s not wrong in telling folks to seek immediate medical attention, in such cases).

It’s not looking good…three of my family members were ill yesterday, though they came to dinner anyway. One was sick enough that he didn’t even want to try to make the trip. They all looked like shit (no pun intended.) From what I hear, people are sick all over…one friend of mine has four kids, two of whom are ill, the other two seem to be coming down with something, both of another friend’s kids are ill, and my husband’s feeling like utter hell. I’m not feeling so fabulous myself, but I don’t think I’m toilet-bound anytime soon.
Dunno if it’s the same thing as what Dan has, or if it’s the same thing amongst all the people at all, but it sure does seem strange how 90% of the people I know are suddenly ill, despite the fact that none of them have had contact with each other.

Why would someone we already know “I’m using my new screenname” post using a different name, especially for something so serious? Methinks this job for Tribal Medicine Man Chief Shitting Bull. - MC
