This is a whining thread. →[More:]Last night I drank 2 Miller Lites, one Bud Lite Lime, and a few coffee drinks made with homemade Kahlua. I think the Kaluha drinks sent me over the edge.

I feel like there is food in my stomach and it's not emptying. Do you know that feeling? I am queasy and ill and it sucks. I went to the beach this morning and was feeling moderately functional. I managed to choke down one granola bar and slept for three hours this afternoon.

I think I'll try some Alka Seltzer.

Lori, pour a glass of coke and let it go flat. Then drink it. It'll help, I promise.

I'm retaining fluids worse than ever. My weight has gone up almost 10 pounds in 3 days and I have all the major dehydration symptoms. I am taking the merest of sips to unparch my throat. I can't lay down without chest pains and I have the head of the bed jacked up 18 inches. I can barely lay on it without sliding down.

I am 95% certain this is a reaction to that last prescription.

Oh, yeah, I will be camping on my doc's doorstep tomorrow morning.

Lorifla, that almost sounds like a gallbladder attack.

Ardiril, that totally stinks-and why do these things always manifest on weekends????

My baby all of a sudden (as of... yesterday?) won't drink formula. She turns away from the bottle and spits and gags. (We supplement with formula at bedtime, and she's had this brand for months). I held the bottle in her mouth a little long this evening and she gagged on it and then threw up everywhere. She's asleep now, but I'm thinking we will have a tiring night of many wake ups. She didn't want her 4pm bottle either, but she did eat a reasonable amount of food.

I'm just complaining, don't need advice.

A local town enjoys selling bongs and knives to kids on the boardwalk, but won't pop for decent garbage disposal or recycling bins.

Or a hangover. Last night I had some spinach pizza as well and it's not mixing right with the drinks. Or maybe the pizza has nothing to do with it but thinking of it makes me ill.

Ardiril, be careful.

And essexjan, I'm drinking flat Coke now. :-)

This is more bothersome than worrisome. I can literally feel the water sloshing around in my legs.

Lori, B-complex vitamins (alcohol depletes them)and shitloads of water work for me.

EEEE, Ardiril!

My foot hurts and the acupuncturist called my cell and hung up, even though
i told her I'd kept the generic voicemail message.

I need dental surgery (crown lengthening with local anesthesia).

Using cell phones in theaters is now illegal in NYC, but people STILL won't put them away!

Ardiril, probably you know this already, but sucking an ice cube can supposedly keep you unparched without letting too much liquid in.

Lori, I recommend a BLT and OJ. MMM, now I want a BLT.

I want shrimp toast! I don't have any idea where around I can even get shrimp toast.

TE: yeah, I know that trick but my teeth would rebel. I seem to have got over the hump and my cardiologist said I am doing exactly the right thing. In fact, he said I could take it further and eat an orange or strawberries or other juicy fruit when I get too thirsty.
