Still MIA

Well I just wanted to update you. I just got back from the Dr and he says it's 50/50 on this being a horrible virus or food poisoning. He said this isn't necessarily fitting what he's been seeing and what he's been seeing hasn't lasted this long however it's not a classic case of food poisoning either.

Here's where I'm at. I had to get blood work done again because he's concerned about my potassium level. If that doesn't come up then I'm in trouble so hopefully that is rebounding.
He gave me a slip to get the test for food poisoning but we're going to wait 2 days to see if things start turning around. He can treat the food poisoning but it's better for your body to heal on it's own.
He is thinking whatever caused this may have ulcerated which is why my stomach is so painful after I eat. I have meds to help with that now. I'm quite sick of only eating crackers for seriously about 7 days off and on now because anything else causes me hours of pain. It's a good diet plan- I've lost 11 pds now- but I think I'd rather have the 11 pds back and feel normal again!!

Update:
I'm back from the urgent care. Good thing I went I guess- I was very dehydrated and my potassium was low so they had to do an EKG. That came back good so I'm on potassium and have to get that rechecked next week.
The fluids helped a lot- I felt better already when I left. Now I just need my GI tract to settle down enough that I can keep things in me- so far not good yet, but the Dr expects within the next couple doses of meds it will settle down.
Thanks so much for the prayers- I've never had a viral bug get me this bad before- old age I guess:)

MIA

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted but I've been sick since Tuesday.
Yup- it's been a fun 3 days now.
Flu plus a cold is not a good thing.
Halle had a touch of it too- I'm so hoping no one else gets this.

I actually called the Dr this morning because I was starting to wonder if I had eaten something with peanuts in it and had the salmonella poisoning since the flu usually doesn't last this long. They don't think so since I had a fever.
Thank goodness for good friends! Julie ran me over some gatorade and popsicles plus supper for the family tonight! I'm praying I can start keeping some liquids in me because they're giving me till 3:00 this afternoon to start keeping something in me or I have to go get an IV for dehydration and I so don't want to go do that right now.
Hopefully I'll be back soon back to normal!
