The Wrong Combo

Last night I ended up throwing and up and having diarrhea all at the same time.

It was pure hell for several hours.

It wasn't a bug, it wasn't food poisoning, (and thanks Dangermouse) it wasn't me trying to be thing.

No it was the combination of:

4000 mg of Vitamin C
A Berocca
Two Ibuprofen with Codeine
1 Long lasting Sudafed and
Magnesium

It sounded like a good idea at the time I swear!

Oh and I had eaten a huge bag of nuts when I know nuts give me stomach cramps!

I have had some sinus congestion for a week and a half, and was using one of those nasal sprays for more than a week and I decided I needed to stop before I became addicted to them again.

So in the space of about 30 minutes I had all of that.

Bad move!

Apparently too much Vitamin C will give you the runs and well the rest just exacerbated my already upset stomach.

Touch Wood I feel much better today, although I am exhausted from a restless night of almost sleep.

I also think the week's stressful events at work made my body say enough is enough and I do keep my stress in two places, my neck and my stomach.

Anyway I am taking it relatively easy today and only doing some small bits and pieces and them heading to friends for dinner.

Let's keep my pinkies crossed that my stomach behaves!
