i would make an appt within the next 24 hours to be seen.\n\nthe numbess should not be present. you could have nerve damage or spinal cord damage, which can turn serious very quickly.\n\ni read someone mention to you to shine a flashlight into your eyes-please do not have anyone do this who is not trained professionally in the medical field to do so (they are the only ones who know how to do it correctly and get the right results). i know this b/c i work in trauma icu and deal with head injuries constantly.\n\nreport to the emergency room immediately (have someone take you or call 911) if you have any of the following symptoms\n\n-your headache becomes very severe and doesn't go away\n-you begin to vomit\n-you have dizziness or you feel faint\n-you pass out (no matter for how long)\n-your numbness begins to spread or get worse\n-you have blurry vision\n-you become confused or disoriented\n\nplease have yourself checked out soon-nerve injuries can be very tricky and they can get worse rapidly as can head injuries

Well, it depends on how bad you got it and if you can prove it was that restaurant. It's hard to actually prove it ya know? People get food poisoning all the time, but can never prove it was a certain restaurant.

I doubt that it is food poisoning.  More likely you have a problem with fatty foods and grease.  Most of those hot pockets are high in fat.  If your gall bladder is not functioning properly, you could have mild attacks.  Do you get ill from eating greasy french fries, hamburgers, pizza, etc.  If the hot pockets have been refrigerated or frozen as recommended, they shouldnl't contain the bacteria that causes food poisoning.

I thought food poisoning takes effect quicker but I guess it varies acc to the type of food. Drink lots of fluids if you have diarrhoea or you will get dehydrated if you're not already, sounds like you are. If you have an oral rehydrant like Electral take that. I make my own, with a big glass of water, a pinch of salt and half teaspoon of sugar. You can squeeze in a few drops of lime or lemon too. Just take a few sips every ten minutes or so.  Sometimes I dilute 7 up or Sprite with water and sip that. It helps. I also avoid eating as I just end up back in the loo .. don't drink milky drinks they don't make the stomach feel that great. sometimes i have weak tea and a slice of toast or a biscuit if I can manage it. \n\nI think you do need to see a doctor to get some meds to first stop the diarrhoea (will probably give you something just to stop "the action" for a day (not more) so that you don't keep dehydrating) and then will also give you antibiotics for the infection. \n\nGood luck .. I've had some awful bouts of food poisoning and I know how ghastly they feel. Do the fluids thing and see a doctor as soon as you can, don't unnecessarily prolong your agony. \n\nPS on the bright side you'll probably lose a few kilos, if that's something you'd like then at least it's not all bad! :)

It is most likely a gastro-intestinal virus, could be the flu.  Most likely not food poisoning.  True Food poisoning is hits pretty fast and is relentless, it doesn't hit and then suddenly you feel better.  Constant doubled over painful, cramping.  Most Intestinal bugs last 24-72 hours.  Try to stay hydrated and see the doctor if it lasts more than 72 hours.

The main symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are watery diarrhea and vomiting. Other symptoms are headache, fever, chills, and abdominal pain. Symptoms usually appear within 4 to 48 hours after exposure to the virus and last for 1 to 2 days, though symptoms can last as long as 10 days. Most cases of viral gastroenteritis resolve over time without specific treatment. \nAllow your gastrointestinal tract to settle by not eating for a few hours. \nSip small amounts of clear liquids or suck on ice chips if vomiting is still a problem. \nGradually reintroduce food, starting with bland, easy-to-digest food, like toast, broth, apples, bananas, and rice. \nAvoid dairy products, caffeine, and alcohol until recovery is complete. \nGet plenty of rest.

I would suspect chemical food poisoning possibly.\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/54/61474.htm

Throwing up, sneezing, coughing fits, gagging, etc. Sometimes you can't even determine where it came from. Usually it's not anything to worry about. It will go away with time, but that means 10 days or two weeks. If this happens all the time, go see a doctor to determine the cause.

TIME!  True food poisoning takes many hours to set in, by which time it is too late to pump your stomach or induce vomiting.  Just sit tight.  \n\nIf you are really bad, go to the hospital, where they will try to prevent you from going into toxic shock.

Honey this sounds serious you really need to go see a doctor. ecspecially if you used to benge eat and vomit afterwards. 2-3 months is great but at the same time it is not that much time so you could very well be having some problems from it. so go see a doctor no matter what it takes.

try to remember all of the things you have ingested in the past 24 hours.\n\ncall your doctor or a poison control center immediately.\n\nif you have been around anyone and your drink/food was unattended, be sure to contact them and ask if they were playing any stoopid pranks on you... (adding drugs or something you happen to be allergic too)\n\nif you have taken any presription or over the counter medication recently, call poison control and get yourself to a doctor immediately.

It's a tiny arm prick that introduces the virus to your body.  In 48 hours a nurse looks for inflammation and swelling.  A little bit of redness is normal.

You are correct, "24 hour flu" is not the flu (influenza) at all.  Influenza affects one for much longer than 24 hours.  \n\nMany people incorrectly refer to brief illnesses as a "24 hour flu", or refer to food poisoning as "stomach flu".  There is no such thing as either of these things.  Influenza is a serious infection- you would certainly know you had it, as opposed to something that comes and goes over the course of 24 hours.  In addition, infection with influenza does not cause any gastrointestinal symptoms; it is a respiratory infection.
