Still on the first. For now.

Thanks Bitkin. You've actually made me feel a lot better and put my mind at rest a bit - your description is almost EXACTLY my experience last night.

It was many years ago when my nausea reaction to Ibroprufen was discovered (I had a bout of polyarthritis) and as I said I've had it now and then - but NOTHING LIKE THIS! I was never actually physically sick. Just horrible nausea and that's bad enough. But this was something different. It was quite scary.

Work through it? After last night I doubt I would dare take another pill for a long time! You'd have to be a masochist of the first order to risk that again. I'd rather put up with pain. And what would be the point - they came up ten minutes after I took them I thought my entire insides were coming up - could not believe how sick I was thought it would never stop!

Fortunately my bathroom door is directly opposite my bedroom door. I still couldn't make it there without first chucking up into the tissue box (good job it isn't far as the tissue box didn't hold much!) it was that room spinning (ten times worse than any alcohol induced dizziness!) and the inability to focus on anything properly. The TV just looked blurred and it actually hurt to try to even look at my watch.

I can't remember ever being so violently sick apart from about 40 yrs ago when I was very seasick on the Scilonian coming from the Scilly Isles and that's famous for it they call it the comet vomit!

My ears were ringing too and today my chest and back ache from the strain of it. It wasn't a very good time at all. I had to stay in the bathroom for a long time not trusting my legs to get me back to the bed. And when I got back in bed I couldn't lie flat. Had to get about 4 pillows behind me and sit up.

Bella - when I noticed her - was just giving me the 'are you coming to bed or WHAT?' look!

Thanks Pat. I didn't think of a corn cob as I didn't think we'd been anywhere that there was any. I thought Pine cone as we go through the woods. I'd forgotten about the BBQ in the park He's murder for scavenging though. He just hoovers things up Lord knows how that went down in one piece though Had to laugh about you & the nightie I'd have the same problem

Glad your Mum's move has been sorted now. Hope she settles down Lynn.
Thats not good them sending your son home is it Jenny?? I suppose with it being weekend the drunks get first priority Hope he gets sorted tomorrow & its nothing serious.

*joins Nippy with her wine fest. A rather nice Merlot actually.

Tang - I hope that you are fully recovered by tomorrow. The doctor told me that it is becoming fairly common for people to have this reaction, so I wonder whether it is the tablets that have changed or humans Whatever it is, I am so glad that you will not be trying to take them again; as I said, anyone who suggests working through the reaction has no idea how terrible it is.

Dogs are sooooooo sympathetic aren't they

Hello Taffsmum, I too took one look at the photo and said "corn cob"! Thank goodness it came back up

Shaddup Lynn! As an indication of how BAD I felt - today is probably unique in that I have been scared to have a drink - even a tiny one!

Thank you Lynne.

Yes my thoughts exactly! And can you just imagine if the roles were reversed? We'd be running round like blue @rsed flies doing everything in our power to try to make them feel better!

*you can shaddup about the plonk too!

Regarding this INSANE suggestion to 'work through it'. NO ONE who ever had a reaction like that would dream of suggesting you do that! Bet it was a bloke who came up with that gem!

Now I feel even more sorry for you, that is truly terrible

Oh no says ever so quietly the wine is hitting the spot.
ooooh Corries on.

It was actually a couple of people on here.....but I cannot remember who.
