food poisoning: part fnord (the public version)

[juldea]

I just wrote a LJ post in detail, and even with a cut and multiple warnings as to the content described therein, I ended up not feeling it was sharable and privatized it for later reference. I will instead say this: the vomiting portion of food poisoning is done, but not the other reactions, and they in fact have increased in intensity in the past six hours (during which I have tried to sleep) so much that I might be taking myself to the hospital - if I can find a point at which I can leave the house a building for the length of time to get there.

EDIT: I called the doctor's office and spoke to a nurse, and they have fit me in for an 11:00 appointment (that's in less than an hour). My clinic is quite happily closer than the hospital.

I understand completely. I was tied to the bathroom for quite a while yesterday - unfortunately, it started while we were at a restaurant with friends. :( I finally got to the point where I figured I could make it 1/2 hour or so, just to get home.

Honestly, though, if the symptoms are severe enough that you want to go to the hospital, and frequent enough that you can't leave the house - call 911.
