Is it food poisoning or stomach virus?


This one is a personal topic but I feel like I got food poisoning.

It was probably the reason I didn't get to do a livestream as much as I wanted to due to the frequent stomach pain and coughs. Today I will be talking about the start and end of that.

It was almost dinner time as my parents were getting Taco Bell (5 p.m. or 6 p.m.), but that was when the cramping began. It was beginning to hurt even more after I ate my dinner (I believe it was almost the end of 7 p.m.). I ended up laying in bed till I ended up getting into a voice chat with my brother and his friend to play Garry's Mod as of almost 10 p.m. The pain was getting a bit worse as I attempted to concentrate on what Steam Workshop items I wanted or needed. I did manage to take some Pepto Bismol before playing Garry's Mod for a bit (at 11 p.m.).

It was midnight at 1 a.m., and the pain was getting even worse. I ended up getting a fever and nausea on top of it. I ended up saying "fuck it!" and told the voice chat I got to get some rest. My first attempt didn't work out despite taking more Pepto Bismol because of the pain bothering me, so I ended up staying up a little longer playing Duck Game in an attempt to keep my mind off, but my eyes were beginning to shut, so I attempted to rest again (3 a.m.). I played some music to distract myself, and it somewhat worked! However, I didn't get much sleep, as it took an hour or two before I ended up being awake. I believe the pain and fever went away for now, but I'm not sure if they're coming back (which I hope not). But I did get told that if it got even worse, I would end up going to the hospital. Thank God it hasn't come to that.

Now as for the livestream I planned on doing before the "food poisoning," I will be streaming tonight and making up for yesterday unless I somehow get the cramps again, which I hope not. Till then, expect more articles in the near future, whether it's food poisoning or me wanting to show you people my religion about the Lord and Savior, Tchernobog (it's an inside joke, btw!).

UPDATE: I might not stream for a day or two because I might need to fully recover. The cramps may be gone, but I haven't fully recovered, it seems. It appears people with food poisoning end up recovering in about 24 to 48 hours. See you on Thursday or Friday!
