Urgh

Unfortunately, it appears I spoke too soon about feeling better. It wasn't long before I was feeling sick again, but fortunately managed not to be sick this time and I also managed a good 12 hours sleep overnight. Woke feeling brighter than yesterday, although still a bit queasy and in pain around the ribs and back. A glass of fruit juice was fine, unfortunately a glass of water was not. So we're back to square one with me hanging over a bucket again.

I decided to visit the chemist for help. The woman behind the counter was completely useless. I explained about the sickness and that I was having trouble keeping water down, but explained that I need to rehydrate urgently as I can feel a headache coming on (the last thing I need at the moment is a dehydration migraine). Her comment was that perhaps I could try not eating to see if that helped! Stupid bloody woman. Having explained that I hadn't eaten for almost 2 days except for 2 glasses of fruit juice, she suggested dioralyte to rehydrate me and some anti-sickness tablets to stop me feeling sick.

Not entirely sure that the tablets are a good idea as I assume there's a reason for me keep being sick, but I have taken both and am going to head back to bed again for another sleep.
