    Tired Should I go the ER?

    I haven't been feeling well since Sunday night. I was running a fever, I threw up a couple of times and I haven't been able to keep much down besides juices and fruits. I just took a shower and I feel slightly better. I really hate hospitals and don't want to go unless its absolutely necessary

    Keeping the juice and fruit down is good at least. Do you have a family doctor you can go to in order to avoid ER costs?
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    No, but my mom is a nurse and so is one of my regs at the club. I'm emailing him now. I love my mom but she would freak out and go totally postal.

    I've been sick for several days as well, something is going around.

    Can you check your temperature and heart rate? If your temp is over 102, go. If your heart rate is over 115 bpm, you should go.

    If it doesn't get better, don't go to the hospital, schedule something at a local clinic or practitioner's office. You'll get better treatment and they will also be able to work with you on cost.

    ^^^Yeah I would look for a little local clinic if possible first. There are 24hr ones too.

    Did running a marathon cause this? Or is that just a phrase?
