Post here if you feel like shit right now!


I had the worst night. I had a cold coming on all yesterday, the kind where you get real sensitive to temperatures on your skin, and you feel cold even when you're burning up. Woke up halfway through the night shivering so hard that I couldn't go back to sleep, so (unwisely) pulled a blanket on over the duvet. Dozed off, then woke up a few hours late feeling sick. Got up, sprinted to the bathroom, only to pass out on the floor :( luckily our bathroom is literally next to our bedroom and I'd turned the light on so when I passed out, my boyfriend heard and came to see what had happened. Gave him the biggest shock of his life as my eyes had rolled back in my head, and he couldn't tell if I was breathing. Luckily I came to just in time to throw up and spend the next half an hour retching and wishing I were dead. He kept trying to feed me paracetamol to bring my temperature down, but the action of swallowing kept making me more sick. Apparently wrapping myself up was the worst thing I could have done as I almost cooked myself!

Managed to keep some pills down and get back to bed, now it's morning and I still feel a bit shaky and rubbish :( hoping I'm not sick again though, that's the worst.
 
Thanks Leah! We haven't got any dissolvable paracetamol on the house but I might ask the boyfriend to go and get some later today :) otherwise yep, I'm just going to stay in bed and sleep it off!

I'm meant to have a job interview tomorrow but I think I better try and move it.

I don't think we ever had any "dissolvable" medicine at home. We just grounded it with a spoon, and mix it with a bit of water and that's that. I mean, would the dissolvable medicine contain something more then the one in pill form? And in the end even the pill needs to dissolve to be absorbed so why spend money on it? :dunno

Best you sleep more, and not try to make out the tiny text on a flashing screen, it'll just make you feel worse. Stay in bed, relax, have a cool cloth on your forehead and get some sleep.
 
sorry to hear your sick. That doesnt sound fun at all. I would take a terrible cold over the kind of sickness where u puke anyday. You jus pray to god it goes away but it doesnt. The good news is, it can only get better from here. stay positive, you willl get better very soon, and feel a million times better. Gravol works wonders for me when im in that situation.
 
Hope you feel better soon :(

There are paracetamols that are for kids that easily dissolve on the tongue and they're not nasty tasting too. However, to get the same amount of milligrams for an adult, you need to dissolve more pills

Another route also is suppository- Oopppsss, i hope that's not an embarrassing route for you :p AND for me to say it here :D :24:

Take plenty of rest ;)
