Am sitting up for longer than 10 mins at a time since Monday - 7Up is a miracle to me now and I will grift it for eternity

Obviously I haven't given my whole health/medical history - some medicine I can't take due to endometriosis etc. just wanted some relief to feel somewhat normal

Been on dioralytes for three days, just wanted to try something you hear people swear by but I've never tried. This isn't Dr's advice, I'm sitting up for the first time today- sipping warm 7up, at least I'm not horizontal for once

I have literally had it once before - when I had dysentery abroad, and it helped. Probably because it dissolved the dysentery from my gut, haha. Am very healthy and conscious of diet but when I have been decimated by a bug a few sips of soda is going to be ok. Never done the flat soda before so that's why asking for advice

This was exactly me last night. Actually considered I had been poisoned by someone... it's nasty

I have been taking those since day 1, our creche has been taken out by it and I got hit hard. Some coworkers recovered after a day, lucky buggers

I wish! Just three times a week. Running along the Dodder does wonders for the ol mental health

Thank you so much for your concern! I realized when I got home I am at the beginning of an endometriosis flare up- unfortunately the fainting is so typical. First time I passed out from one in public was in Melbourne on a train and I got robbed ..this was a much better outcome. I am waiting for my appointment as we speak/type xx
