got rehydrate to drink.it's bloody awful but puts lost salts into your body.got a bad migraine last night and am feeling very thirsty all the time.they said that i have infective gastroenteritis that's why i cannot go back to work until it cleasr upxxxx):

Sylvia I think you are scaring Lisa uneccesarly. I personally wouldnt have suspected Diabetes. I dont think the sickness & nausea points towards it. Normally thirst (extreme) weeing a lot, are a factor together with weightloss. Sometimes diabetes has no symptoms except weight loss. Im not an expert but I think its a little early to worry about that. E x ps your thirst is prob due to dehydration :o))

Hi Lisa, Sorry to hear that you are not well and hope you get sorted soon. Can you not take immodium? (spelling) which will stop the runs. Having had a similiar problem a few years ago I was told that I had to eat food in order to get rid of the bug and drink lots of liquid, no dairy products. Drink Coca cola and energizers. ((hugs)) Lindy

Lisa, I hope you are soon feeling well again. Its a bit of a vicious circle isn't it, feeling ill makes you worry, and worrying makes you feel ill. Keep taking the fluids and wash it away. Take care June xx

Oh darling.... I am sorry that it's scaring you.... me sending you HUGE hugs!! Keep your chin up and let us know how it goes!

hi lisa, hope your feeling better soon tracey x

Hi Lisa, so sorry to hear you're still not well. I've read all the replies and it seems like everyone is saying the same thing (apart from the diabetes, it doesn't sound like that at all!). Doctor is playing safe for you and everyone else with tests - it sounds like salmonella to me, and that does take a long time to get out of your system. I'm also pretty sure that the headache is down to dehydration. I would recommend drinking Coke if you can stand it (full strength, not diet), even doctors recommend this because it's got things in it that will help rehydrate you. Take care hun, and try not to worry. Love Mandy xx

Oh dear Lisa, sorry to read this, not a good week for you.

no and i think it will get worse when you tell me about those poor twinsx):

lisa i just got in here. really sorry i wasnt there for you this morning. sending you massive lovey stuff!! hope you're ok and i wont tease you about chinese food anymore! xxxxx

darlin paul that's so sweet.feel like s**t today but had to be on here as i missed alot of people on here yesterday.you included .how was your meeting yesterday.was it boring as meetings go.i am supposed to be going on a course on tuesday.but the doctor has said i am not fit enough and has signed me off work for another week.xxxxxxxx(:

well you rest up then hun. my meeting was well boring but i got to go to london. i'm always excited to go there and then glad to leave! xxx

should do a bit of sightseeing while your there.used to go up the southbank and westminster on the weekends when i lived up there.there again you would want to get out of london quick with the fear of getting blown up by terrorists.xxxxx(:

Lisa, sorry to hear that you are still unwell. It is not wise for us to surmise what the diagnosis is, all the possibilites will just make you more anxious which will not help the situation. Can you eat anything at all - dry toast, (no fat of any sort and no milk), dry plain biscuit (rich tea or arrowroot), have you tried an apple or a banana to put back the essential nutriants that you ate losing? Keep drinking, but not large amounts at a time. Hopefully the blood tests will be clear and the blood is just where you have slightly strained something (also the pain, you may have strained stomach muscles). Anxiety will definitely make i worse so try having an aromatherapy bath with lavender oil in it. (not too hot) and maybe burn a scented candle too. Are you managing to sleep OK? Plenty of rest may help too. Love Ann Glos

thanks ann hopefully it will come back clearxxxx(:

lisa i'm sure you will be fine, try not to worry, i know its easier said than done, i've had loads of tests done in the last few weeks and i go for my scan next thursday, the kids keep saying aren't you worried. Answer nope i'll worry if they find something wrong till then i'll carry on. Be positive Hun sandra

do you know what i'm least worried how i am but my daughter is terrified that it's something bad.i don't think she could cope if it was.xxxxx):
