I feel awful...

[JulesMaximus]

My wife and I went out to a restaurant last night for dinner and I had the special which was seabass. God, it makes me queasy just typing that. Anyway, all went well but then around 11PM I started to feel like I was going to throw up. Yeah, I threw up... and then threw up again every 10-15 minutes for the next 6 hours. I'm not throwing up anymore but I'm just drained. Drinking some water for breakfast and then off to work.

jesus.

also, why the hell not take a sick day?

 

[BurnItDwn]

Was it Chilean Sea Bass? Did you know that is actually not a bass?

 

[Blackjack200]

Holy shit that sucks. I got it about that bad once. Almost went to the hospital for dehydration, but started being able to keep water down about 12-14 hours in. I can still remember how sore my stomach muscles were and how bloodshot my eyes were. Yikes.

Yes. Patagonian tooth fish is delicious regardless.

 

[PricklyPete]

Sucks. Food poisoning is no joke.

Too much to do and I'm already behind. Believe me, I'd much rather be in bed right now.

This is when you go to work and find out that it was actually norovirus and now the entire office hates you!

 

[purbeast0]

Well ... did you at least have a good time?

 

[vi edit]

And there it is. Kick his ass, seabass!

I once got staph from an Arby's. That was a horrible 30 hours. I did end up in the ER after I was unable to even crawl to the bathroom I was so dehydrated. 3L of IV fluid later and I was feeling a hell of a lot better.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Drink some pedialyte for the dehydration.

 

[IronWing]

It's red tide. Can I have your stuff?


Red tide is like Red Dawn except the mortar shells go off in your gut.

QFT
More delicious than anything else they call a bass IMO.

By gut you mean uterus, right?

Wolverines!!!

I'm feeling better now, a bottle of Gatorade helped. Still haven't eaten much though.

I had the exact same experience many years ago when I was 14 years old. The family was on vacation, a 2 week drive through the western USA, stopping at national parks, staying in motels, eating at a variety of diners, restaurants, etc. We were on the last leg, heading back into California. Just short of that we stopped at a motel in Klamath Falls, Oregon. We went out to eat and I ordered chicken cacciatore. Noone else got sick. But I was sick as a dog, just as you describe until dawn. I have never in my life had chicken cacciatore again!

Food poisoning put me in the hospital for IV fluids about 10 years ago. Spent about 8 hours doing that whole throwing up every 10-15 minute dealy like you did. Then about once an hour for the next 8 or so. I wasn't able to retain fluids at all. Was not a fun time.

I actually had a similar reaction to drinking too many rum and cokes when I was 20. Hours, but not 12 hours. Never had another rum and coke, you better believe.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Sucks.

Better stick to the fish sticks next time. Who knows what's in those, but no one ever gets sick from em.

Cheaper option that works nearly as well for me at least is sipping Gatorade ... make sure its the kind with sugar.
