Thats an aweful feeling Razz, keep up hope. I lost my promise ring, I went crazy looking for it. I retraced every step from the day I lost it.
A month later, my mom found in on the driveway, miraculously not ran over.
If you don't find the other earring, perhaps the one you have can be converted into a pendant for a necklace?

The catfight between Ali and Bri. I like them both and don't understand why they don't like each other.

Yup. Times one hundred.

Sorry , Razz, bout your earring too.
(if you see me with an emerald nose piercing in the RFN thread it's co-inky-dink, I promise!)
I'll get Mum to pray to St Anthony for you, in case it helps.

DanaC · 01-19-2009, 03:51 PM

lol. Gran used to insist I ought to pray to St Anthony every time I lost something.

Wait a minute, does your Mum weigh the same as a duck? (Just had a conversation with Pete about the Church and little hidden pagan things)

OMG this stomach bug needs to go away already. Srsly. I've been in dire straits since last Sunday. The younger kid had it for a day and got better, but the older one's been having symptoms alongside me since Tuesday.

today I'm upset about how ridiculously difficult it is to get my visa so I can move.

How do you tell the difference? It can't be the recent peanut salmonella, because the stepkid who's allergic to peanuts has it too.

Stomach bugs don't usually make you wish you were dead and generally not as violent vomiting. Also, not that you could tell right away, but I have read that salmonella can lead to or cause arthritis. (I may have to look this up on medlineplus.gov)

Are there long term consequences to a Salmonella infection?

Persons with diarrhea usually recover completely, although it may be several months before their bowel habits are entirely normal. A small number of persons with Salmonella develop pain in their joints, irritation of the eyes, and painful urination. This is called Reiter's syndrome. It can last for months or years, and can lead to chronic arthritis which is difficult to treat. Antibiotic treatment does not make a difference in whether or not the person develops arthritis.

Aliantha · 01-22-2009, 10:41 PM

Yeah...if it's gone on for more than 24 hours, you should go to the docs. It can lead to serious dehydration if you're not careful. most bugs only take a day or so to go away, but food poisoning in any form can take a bit longer. Alternatively, if it's a really bad bug, you should probably go see a doc anyway.

Clodfobble · 01-22-2009, 11:58 PM

I dunno, maybe.

You treat salmonellosis by managing any complications until it passes. Dehydration caused by diarrhea is the most common complication. Antibiotics are not usually needed unless the infection has spread.

The Imodium is being quite effective, I'm not actually losing liquids at all (as long as I keep taking it, that is,) so dehydration isn't an issue. The stomach cramps are what's killing me, but I'm not sure that's going to be enough justification for the doctor to prescribe me antibiotics. Can't happen tomorrow, anyway, so I guess if it's still around by Monday then I'll go. But dammit, January's already got seven freaking doctor's appointments on the calendar, I didn't want to add another one.
