What's wrong with me? :(

Symptoms:

-I've had a headache on and off since last Saturday morning (almost a week ago)
-I'm extremely tired. I have no energy. None. At all. I feel faint, too.
-I vomited last night. And then just right now, I was about to go down to dinner and was waiting for the lift, when all of a sudden I knew I was going to be sick (even though I haven't eaten in ten hours [haven't been hungry]) and had to run back to my room :frown:.

I have a vague suspicion that I could be pregnant, but that's very highly unlikely because I just finished my period a couple days ago (although it was very light) and because I'm on the pill and I take it perfectly.

what's wrong with me? :frown:
Sounds like a nasty bug that seems to be going around at the moment

Ive got that bug at the minute. Hope it goes before tuesday coz ive got a uni interview. I woke up wth a headache and ive been in bed for two days. Its gettin better now, but i threw up last night.

If you carry on throwing up then check out the pregnant thing but like you said its very unlikely!
Best to a pregnancy test to be safe, depends whether you have had sex recently.

Well if she's dead in bed tomorrow then dont blame me... :wink:
i got a feeling simstu666 was trying to joke although i don't see whats funny about someone throwing up and feeling very weak. Anyway if she had that she'd surely have a bad rash on her.
I think it could be a virus, theres been some really bad ones lately, lots of ppl ill etc, the Pill is pretty safe and if you have had a period i am sure u wldnt be preganant. hopefully u will feel better soon

Sounds either like the Flu, or a stomach virus. Best thing to do is try to relax, rest a lot and drink plenty of water. You're going to get dehydrated if you're vomiting, and you need to keep replacing the lost water. Don't force yourself to eat, but if you an manage dry things like crackers, then it will be better- as you'll be able to get some energy back.

I hope you feel better soon! :smile:
