Ok, so vgchartzers, I'm not in a good place right now. I'm on the phone, sitting on the can for the past 2 hours and can't leave, and it's all burger king's fault! I had that stupid ass whopper last night, or maybe 3. Ok, so I had a doctors appointment yesterday, and I couldn't eat or drink for 24 hours. So I'm starving and feeling like I want to pass out from thirst, so after that appointment, I go to Burger King. I don't usually eat fast food, but it was close by, and I was going to collapse at any moment at that point.

So after 3 whooper.... meals, I feel a lot better. That is until this morning, in which I felt like my insides where about to rupture. So I probably must've gotten food poisoning or something, because I'm kinda in a bad place, if I haven't already given off the impression. I'm off work till next monday (after this one), so at least I can be relieved a little. I've taken 3 Imodium pills to no avail and kind of want to go to the doctor, but I also don't want to crap my pants. I know it'll pass eventually, but I want to be cautious. So should I go to the doctor when I can, or just wait it out? I know this isn't a medical site ok! But, you guys are all I have in my immediate vicinity, so please if you can't answer, just wish me luck... ok? :)

Just bring your Switch to the toilet with you if you have one and have at it!

You think I'd be on here if I had one? I'd probably be playing Zelda and not worrying at all, because Zelda = pure fun.

Food poisoning like that rarely requires medical treatment. If you're at a pain level where you want to cry (not cry exaggeratedly, literal cry), can barely move, and are puking a ton -then yeah, go. If not, you can probably sleep it off. Take some medication and drink plenty of water/tea to get the stuff out of your system. Speaking as a med student.

Oh no! D:

In that case i'm down to Plan B: Just wait it out, unless it's persistent for days it shouldn't be an issue, though i'd rather take it from someone who knows more about what they're talking about. Don't worry about it though, even if it sucks

What's your insurance like? I usually go to urgent care cause its like only 40-50 dollars for me, and that is worth it if I'm in immedient pain.

My coverage should be fine in terms of covering medical expenses. I admit I've never been to urgent care, so I'm not entirely sure how that would play out. And I'm not in intense pain, so I'm not sure if I want to admit myself into urgent care just yet.

Thanks for this. Its not nearly as bad to the point in which I want to weep in pain, so I think I can hold off for now. 

It's been forever since I've been to Burger King. I usually go to McDonald's when I want fast food, or White Castle when I go to the United States.

1. Stop eating fast food. That shit is terrible for you. Plan ahead next time so you have some food with you.

2. Buy some pedialyte to help replenish your lost electrolytes (get the generic walmart brand---3.50 per bottle)
