Did I have food poisoning and not know it?

So I'm enjoying my cancer stick and flipping through Time when I read that there have been high amounts of people effected by salmonella in June...espiecially late june. Late June I was SICK... a cold and fainting and then my stomach got very upset and I was sleeping almost alllllll the time.... so they think it's tomatoes but now they are saying they don't even know if it's tomatoes that caused it... so basically, they have no fucking clue...

makes me wonder...

and why have i just now heard about this...maybe i should turn on my tv now n then.

 

its possible

 

Honestly, I think you're a hypochondriac.

 

No, I believe you would know it. Depends on how bad your stomach was I guess.

 

You should talk to my husband then. He thinks I am too. And he thinks I actually get REAL symptoms b/c of it.

 

not that bad...

i think it was more fucked up cause i didnt eat...

 

Completely plausible. Being a hypochondriac doesn't mean you're a bad person, it's a mental condition, and it's not always just because "you're seeking attention," sometimes it's because you're so terrified of having whatever, that you freak yourself into the actual symptoms. Or you get a headache, which turns into a worry that makes your stomach hurt, then it just tumbles until you really are sick. Your mental health is key to physical health.

 

you need a lexapro

 

Yes, I don't think she's medicated enough. So smart.


Anyways, I think you should go make yourself a big batch of cookie dough, complete with raw egg, and chill.

 

So true man!!

 

i take lexapro it works

 

If you have food poison you will know it. You will vomit, then vomit some more, then you will vomit when there is nothing to vomit. It was a terrible experience.

 

then you vomit lots more

 

Then you will think you are ok drink water and vomit again.

 

Agreed. Theres nothing 'bad' about being a hypochondriac. Theres nothing you're doing to make you think your sick. You just feel that way.

And thinking you are sick will make you sick. It's a psychosomatic response.

I found this quote.

"Grief that finds no vent in tears makes other organs weep"

 

I doubt it was food poisoning.

 

Yeah it's hard to ignore stuff when you have REAL symptoms that doctor's can see... but all tests show up normal.

It makes you wonder if it is your mind doing the crazy things it can do.... or if it's doctors not having a fucking clue and being incompetant....

Personally I want to rule out ALL medical causes before I say it's my mind...

 

No thanks.


Bleh squared.

 

ok how about a thorazine

 

Good quote. I have a whole book about the mind and certain unexpressed emotions and such that goes into this emotions can breed this physical symptom... it's very interesting but I read it a long time ago. Should look for that book.

And yeah, I hear you all. I'm ruling out food poisoning since I never even got sick once.
