Nausea

The BBQ Pit
1

Last night at about 9:30 I had a ham sandwich. Apparently, this was The Worst Idea of all Time™. I have been horribly nauseated since then. I mean, move-an-inch-and-your-stomach-twists-and-turns-for-fifteen-minutes nauseated. Room-spinning nauseated. I got, maybe, 2 1/2 hours of sleep last night.

This really sucks. Today is a big day for me and it’s going to be ruined.

I’m this close to sticking my fingers down my throat and getting it over with. But, when I hurl, I hurl for keeps. Toe-curling, chest-aching, can’t breathe for a few seconds afterword hurling. I’m not ready to take that risk just yet.

Ugh.

Well - good luck. You may wish to stop reading now:

I’m reminded of Chet from Weird Science:

Ahh, yummy. You’ll have to let us know how it all comes out.

And which end it comes out.

You know, with a name like rastahomie I would think you’d be well equated with a cerain anti-nauseant… :wink:

er, that should be “well aquainted”.

Hmm, Freudian slip?

It’s probably nerves… I always feel sick when I’m nervous.
Take a warm bath and try to relax. Works for me.

Might I suggest:

Peppermint. Saved my life a few times.

Also, try Drammamine, the OTC motion sickness pill.

Emetrol. 100,000 pregnant women can’t be wrong.

Carbonated mineral water-- like an Alka-Seltzer, but good for you.

Good luck.

Sipping ginger ale helps me sometimes.
