Please advise her to get an appointment with her doctor. I wouldn't go back into that either nor do I think a non-emet. would. My friend is here with me for the afternoon and she shook her head when I inquired whether she'd go back home to that. You're doing fine, stay for a bit longer until she's been properly diagnosed. That's my 2 cents!

*tw*
She's stopped now: messaged me earlier today to say 24 hours with no symptoms and that she's going back to work tomorrow.
I may never know what it was - but I am going to go home tonight. I'm out of clothes, I want my bed... I am consoling myself by believeing it was good poisoning. Her boyfriend insists it wasn't... but how could he have avoided it sharing a bed with her while she v into a bucket next to the bed?! He would have been exposed. If he hasn't caught it then I will be ok.

I think she was so sick for so long because she wasn't taking care of herself or being smart about it. When she felt ok and was hungry she wanted and had things like curry and cheese and meat!! I tried to tell her dry crackers and toast... and she says 'oh I tried that for the first 12 hours and it made no difference so who cares'
Of course it didn't help the first 12 hours! Nothing will then! I am so frustrated about it because I don't understand how she could be so silly and careless like that. I know i probably wouldn't be able to bring myself to eat at all and that's the extreme but surely logic says eat bland???

Anyway, I'm going home in an hour or two. I will post again tomorrow... and let you all know how I went.

Thanks so much!! Xx
