Yesterday I was puking my guts out. Literally.
When I got up to go to church, I wasn't feeling good but decided to go to church anyway. As we sat there I started feeling worse and worse. I felt so bad it actually brought on some tears. I was crying pretty hard throughout the meeting and if I didn't have such a strong will to NOT throw up, I would have ran to the bathroom at church and just got it over with.
I wondered if I could make it the full 3 hour block but quickly decided that wasn't the best choice. After the first hour, we went home and I went straight to bed after taking a phenergan. (Oh I love my phenergan). Minutes later I was in my bathroom seeing the pork salad I ate from the day before plummeting into the toilet. So much for the phenergan, that didn't stop me. :(
Here's the thing. I'm not sure if it was just a 24 hr bug or food poisoning. I sported a nice little fever of 101.4 which gave me the terrible shakes and shivers. Is that common of food poisoning? Maybe it was just dehydration?
I HATE HATE HATE throwing up. It is the worst thing in the world. I couldn't handle it and after each "episode" I cried like a little baby. Seriously. Travis had to carry me back to our bed because I was so weak and upset from throwing up. I hate it THAT much.
After I knew I had gotten it all out, I took a phenergan again and then slept peacefully for about 10 hours. Today I am feeling much better. My entire body aches, I have a massive headache, and I am really dizzy. That could be the after-effects of phenergan. It always makes me feel funny for a day or two.
No joke, this is the THIRD time I've gotten sick from eating the Cafe Rio pork salad. Was it the lettuce, the dressing, or something else? I'm not positive. One thing I AM sure of is that I will NEVER be eating at Cafe Rio again. Third time's the charm, right?

Hard to tell, but what I can say is that I've refused to eat there for years. Even though my good friends are the owners of the whole franchise, I am unsure about whether the lettuce is actually safe. I've eaten the Pork Quesadilla with no problems, but everything else on the menu is...uh...well....questionable. Either way, I won't eat there. Period.
You could just be allergic to something IN the salad ... I doubt it is ALL of Cafe Rio. But maybe it is ... and we are all gonna die. Hard to say. :) Glad you are feeling better!
There's a pretty strong stomach flu that's been going around lately. We had it about 3 weeks ago.
But I did get some severe food poisoning from Rio's salmon tacos when I was pregnant. I almost wonder if it was even salmonella--I missed a whole week of work!
Kat I hate throwing up just as much too!! It is the absolute worst.. so I feel your pain!! I hope you get better soon!
This is sad for many reasons. You were sick and I LOVE Cafe Rio, so don't freak me out! But I will tell you...we had the stomach flu also a few weeks ago and I have never been so sick in my life. The fact that you threw up multiple times and were accompanied with such severe fever, headache and chills makes me think it was not food poisoning. I think you had a flu bug :) Beware Travis.
