I was hoping to read you were feeling better. Its very nice of your friend to come help you. Right now you are probably really struggling. Without proper nutrition and hydration, your body cant heal and it makes you feel awful. Ive been down that road too many times. Seems like an endless cycle, stomach problems so cant eat and feeling so lousy dont want to drink or take meds cuz it wont stay down.
Hope you are able to get some nutrition in and keep it in. Then maybe build up the hydration and get some meds in you to get well. I know you are trying really hard, and this might sound dumb, but try harder. I dont want to see you go thru getting admitted to the hospital from this. That happened to me a few times under similar circumstances. Last time I was stuck there 10 days before I stabalized enough to go home.
Hope you feel better tomorrow.
