about

Hey I'm Jodie.

I'm pretty awesome at giving advice to everyone.
I dont beat around the bush though. I am blunt and sarcastic, and I'll tell you exactly what I think. Get used to it. If you rate me low, it doesn't break my heart.

I haven't had the best life. Its had its stressful times. But I use that to my advantage now. Its made me a wiser person.

I'm funny, and outgoing. I'm generally a pretty happy person. And I'll try my best to answer any question that you throw on the table.

i caught a virus from a friend and last night i threw up 5 times and the 1st time, stuff actually came out. and the other times, i couldnt stop heaving unless something came out and nothing was coming out....is that normal? well anyways, i have the grossest taste in my mouth and i cant get it to go away and i have tried ginerale and crackers to make my stomach feel better but it didnt work. is there anything else? and like that muscles in my lower back and like my abdominal muscles are soooo sore like everytime i get up and get down and wen i laugh or cough or something. i tried stretching to get it to go away but it didnt work...any other suggestions?

I dont know what these people below me are talking about...
When you have a stomach flu..the worst thing is dairy products. It doesnt help you, it makes your stomach worse. Eat light things like toast, or soda crackers for a while. And drink LOTS of water, or gingerale, or any liquid that sits well with you. Liquids are veryvery important. You dont want to get dehydrated and end up in the hospital with an IV in you.

And yeah, dry heaves are normal. Once you puke everything out, and your still sick, it feels like you have to puke but theres nothing to come out..so its just dry heaves..they are the worst.

I personally brush my teeth right after I throw up. Thats the best way to get the taste out of your mouth.

And for the sore muscles thing..I would just take it easy for a while until it goes away. Since you were probably using muscles that you dont use regularily while you were throwing up, they will be sore for a while. Take it easy, and get lots of rest.
