Food Poisoning Recovery

Feeling better now, but with heightened paranoia about food.  Anything I might have eaten before The Incident fills me with suspicion and I have the overwhelming desire to cook everything before eating it.  I lightly cooked my lettuce earlier, before adding it to my tacos, just to give some insight into the level of my current paranoia.  I've also thrown out quite a bit of food I wouldn't usually consider spoiled just because I was worried it might've been what made me sick somehow.

My food poisoning incidents all seem to find a new and dreadful way to be awful.  So--feeling better now, but not keen to repeat the experience.

Food Poisoning Continued

I continue to take it easy to recover from the presumed food poisoning.  Still don't feel entirely right, but getting a lot of rest has been good for me.  Hate when something takes me out like this, but I also take this kind of thing very seriously so I go to great lengths not to overstrain myself so I can actually recover.

Food Poisoning Update

Still recovering from presumed food poisoning, but feeling better at the moment.  Basically most of the nausea was restricted to the first day so far, and I was able to quell it quite effectively with a ginger tea. Hopefully this will continue to improve for me.  I have been sleeping a lot and drinking lots of liquids.  Food poisoning takes a lot out of one and so it tends to be the case that I experience a lot of fatigue afterwards.  Sleeping seems the most straightforward way to try to remedy that.

Possibly Food Poisoning

So, I was pretty confused earlier about what was going on until the nausea set in.  Yeah, I don't think this is a typical aging thing or lack of exercise thing.  Still don't know what exactly this is yet, but food poisoning is a possibility.  So far it's not been more than moderately uncomfortable--hopefully goes away soon.  Not sure what I ate to bring this on.  Maybe a piece of fruit I ate was bad or something.  Unfortunately I don't even remember what I ate beyond the last couple meals before I started showing symptoms, and food poisoning can take longer than that to set in.  Not that knowing that would necessarily tell me what it was, either.
