My stomach has joined forces with my uterus and they are playing a nasty joke on me this time around.

So I wake up this morning at 6:30, with my Diva already in from yesterday in preperation, to horrible stomach cramps and nausia. So naturally I go to the bathroom. I swear I was there forever with no relief in site. Then I go call in to work because there is no way I can even get dressed let alone drive to work and be productive. After I use the bathroom about 4 more times in a 10 minute span of time I finally just sit at my computer. Then I start to look for my Midol (which I can never keep track of!) and all of the sudden I know that if I don't sit/lay down right that second I was going to throw up. So sit down I did, only to find out that I had to actually lay down as much as I could as sitting had the same effect as standing. I tried to get back up for a bit only to end up back down again. After staring at my monitor for a while I decide I should probably go shut my alarm off (bedroom is in the basement). I get down there thinking I would be able to make it back upstairs but realize that was just not happening. So I layed in bed for about a half hour contemplating whether or not I could roll over to grab the trashcan just in case and then still have enough time to grab the heating pad from the other side of the bed. I only managed the heating pad. At this point I realize that I must lay flat or I will get horrible pains from just below my breasts and probably throw up. I finally get that under control and lay on my side in the fetal possition with a pillow holding the heating pad to me. I fall asleep but during that 3 hour time I must have tossed and turned an aweful lot. Now I have a headache and the cramps have set in and I still don't know where my Midol went. *whimper*

I don't think I have EVER felt this bad on day 1, ever!

I 'feel' your pain!

My worst first day was something simular to that, but add in the coughing which just exaserbates the whole thing. You would think that the body should know better than to get sick when it is already planning on torturing us, but NOOOO it cannot do that! Of course not! That would lessen some of the pleasure that it gets from allowing us a little bit of comfort like walking out the cramps or finding the pain killers and then taking the pain killers without throwing it all back up right after so the pain killers do not have time to take effect (you would think that by now they would have figured out how to make pain killer losenges for those days when you don't think that they will stay down...)
