    Default Dont know what this is....

    Started to feel ill about 4pm which is over 4 hours ago. I was in work but thankfully only had 1 hour left so dosed myself up on painkillers and anti-emetics and persevered. My face was really hot and flushed yet I was cold and my head hurt and I felt n*. Since getting home Ive just felt worse, Ive got stomach pain and the n* is getting stronger despite having taken 40mg of phenergan and more painkillers. I hadnt eaten since breakfast which was over 12 hours ago so I ate a chunk of plain french bread and a hot drink. It didnt help and may have made it worse. Any help on putting my mind at ease or even just suggestions on what could be wrong with me please. There is a sv* in my local town and my daughter has had very close contact with people with it - shes a carer for the elderly living in their own homes and has had to clean up after people who are incontinent etc But so far she hasnt shown any signs of coming down with it thank God. I am hungry but not sure if thats because of the anti-emetics masking the issue. Aw God I just wish this wasnt happening

    Listen to your body. If you're hungry, eat. Depriving yourself of food may make you feel even worse. I realize you posted this yesterday so I hope you are feeling better!
    I wanna feel the change consume me,
    Feel the outside turning in.
    I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
    Cleansing I've endured within
    My shadow

    Thanks and yes I do feel better today but still not 100%. Ended up taking a tranquiliser to help me relax enough last night to go to sleep. Woke up a few times still not feeling great but I got through the night. Its a bank holiday in the UK so there was no work today cos its Good Friday so me and my daughter went for a very long walk in the nearby countryside which was really nice. I have eaten today and am now laying in bed with tv on hoping I dont get ill later on.
