I am so glad to be here! I'm open to any questions that anyone wants to ask, but I will say that my specialties lie in the artistic and musical areas. My answers will always be carefully researched and thought out. Thanks for asking me a question- I'll get back to you very soon!

I'm really sorry about the lenght but I tend to include details (hopefully not unnecessary ones)
First I'd like to say that I know none of you are doctors (unless you actually are) and that I don't want to be prescribed anything or to be told what's wrong with me. I want your opinion on what YOU would do in this situation or anything that your parents have you do when you're in this situation. So don't tell me "well I'm not a doctor and you should see one..." Mainly because whatever is wrong with me isn't bad enough to see a doctor.
Today at school I didn't feel good and came home, that was around 9ish. I never actually threw up, I burped a bunch and I had to use the restroom a lot. I took a few walks outside to get some fresh air, not going too far because I felt a little faint. Anyway, my question is - I'm kind of hungry. I figure that if I eat I may get sick and I wanted to know that if my stomach is growling it means I want food right? (all I had to eat today was chick fil a hasbrowns and less than half that come in the box). So do you think I'd be able to eat, maybe just some crackers. I'm also thirsty - well, my mouth is really dry. I've been swishing with water and spitting it out because I know it's not good to drink water when you're sick. I have gatorade in the house and heard that was okay to drink, do you know? I would drink ginger ale but we don't have any in the house. We have milk, gatorade, capri-sun, sunny D, water, I could make hot tea/cold tea... any suggestions?
There's one other question where the "I know you're not a doctor" comes in. My mom is also home because she's REALLY sick. She has a doctors appointment tomorrow but talked to the doctor today. The doctor said it was going around and A LOT of people I know have gotten it. She came home last night after not feeling well. She got sick on the car ride home and pretty much only stopped throwing up an hour ago.
I know what she has is contagious (since it's going around) my question second question is, do you think that I'll be okay, or that I'll catch it. I get sick around Christmas time EVERY year and I was wondering if you guys thought that maybe what I have now is what my mom has, minus the throwing up. (I still feel light-headed a little bit and tired and pretty much everything she does minus the vomit) or if you guys think I may still have a chance of getting what she has. I ask this because tomorrow I have a really good extra credit opportunity if I stay after school in history to watch a movie and take notes so I'll be at school until 4:30 (getting home around 4:40ish) and I'm hoping I'll be okay to go because I REALLY need the extra credit. I know I can talk to my teacher and work out a way to get extra credit without staying after because he's really nice. But I thought that if I don't throw up at all past 7 tonight I'll probably be okay to go. Do you all think that that's logical thinking?
Again I'm sorry about the length but sometimes when I answer questions I feel I don't have enough details so I try to supply enough without supplying too many. Though I probably did give too many. Thankyou in advance! (link)

I have had what this sounds like. It did start out with daihharea (?) and I just pushed myself too hard, so it caught up with me. Get lots of sleep... warm drinks always help settle my stomach. Try peppermint tea. See how you feel in the morning and afternoon... sometimes it's hard to tell. Good luck with that!
Hope I helped!
