Im coming down with something and i havent eaten all day i feel like a bag of crap:sick:

At this point i feel shakey because i havent eaten and my head is pounding ...
i need to find something to eat that will at least not make me shakey but not make me feel worse than i already do... what should i eat? I dont want to eat too much:sick:

I have pita bread and hummus .... should i try that ... or should i just have something with sugar to get my blood sugar back up so im not so freaking wobbley in the knees..?

    Oatmeal or Malt O Meal? :flowerforyou:
  • my mother - who is a nurse - gave us gingerale and toast or crackers. So when I'm really not feeling well I have a small glass of gingerale and toast. I hope you feel better soon.

    I wouldn eat hummus if your stomach is bothering you - its hard to digest

    its not that my stomach hurts ... its a cold or something that has abducted my body... everything hruts and im hacking up some nastyness....and my brain feels like its so swollen its oozing out my ears.... I dont want to eat too much because im afraid its going to take up all the energy i have left to get the food into my mouth... and my arms hurt so its a chore to even lift the food to my mouth:laugh:
    uhhhh and im just not hungry....
  • i feel for you. i think i have a sinus infection. plus i've got some chest congestion. but on a positive note, i'm coughing a lot which makes me thirsty so i'm drinking water like crazy!

    Hey that's how I feel. And the back of my throat feels all icky and just thinking of eating any thing gags me. It's not that my tummy is sour or anything just the crap in the back of my throat is making me sick.

    Chicken noodle soup!! Or at least chicken broth, if the noodles and such don't sound appealing. Chicken broth actually has real healing properties in it, the more natural the better. And the warm liquid always makes me feel a little better.

    Something warm to soothe your head/throat. I might go with the pita bread but perhaps skip the hummus? Well since you're not feeling ill to your stomach it might be OK to add that in.

    Bread is a carb as well, so it doesn't have to necessarily be something sweet to keep your blood sugars up...your body is probably shaking because it's used to eating throughout the day and having the blood sugars leveled out evenly.

    Chicken noodle soup might be just the thing as was suggested above. Warm, noodles are a carb, and might find it soothing!

    Ditto for you Anna....something warm to soothe your throat...even if it's something simple like toast and tea?

    Feel better both of you!!!:flowerforyou:
