| ______________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 8:28am - the_reverend ""] damn, ever inch of my skin hurts when something touches it. I was suppose to go to court and contest a ticket... but carrying a cup down stairs was hard enough. Carina called and convinced them to reschedule my ticket date *crowsses fingers that it's not july 5th to 11th. I'm so dehydrated that my kidneys kill! I've also been mildly hilucinating. I tell you want, there's a reason that dogs/cats/cows aren't in Bush's whitehouse cabinet. |

If the vomiting and diarrhoea continue for more than 24 hours you should seek medical attention. During diarrhoea there is an increased loss of water and electrolytes (sodium, chloride, potassium, and bicarbonate) in the liquid stool. Water and electrolytes are also lost through vomit, sweat, urine and breathing. Dehydration occurs when these losses are not replaced adequately and a deficit of water and electrolytes develops. The volume of fluid lost through the stools in 24 hours can vary from 5 ml/kg (near normal) to 200 ml/kg, or more. The concentrations and amounts of electrolytes lost also vary. The total body sodium deficit in young children with severe dehydration due to diarrhoea is usually about 70110 millimoles per litre of water deficit. Potassium and chloride losses are in a similar range. Deficits of this magnitude can occur with acute diarrhoea of any etiology. The most common causes of dehydration are rotavirus, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and, during epidemics, Vibrio cholerae O1 or O139. Dehydration is the loss of water and salts from the body. The human body needs water to maintain enough blood and other fluids to function properly. Along with the fluids, the body also needs electrolytes, which are salts normally found in blood, other fluids, and cells. The body may lose fluids in a variety of ways: when urinating when you vomit or have diarrhoea when sweating from the lungs during normal breathing. If the body loses a substantial amount of fluids and salts and they are not quickly replaced; for example: by drinking, the body starts to "dry up" or get dehydrated. Severe dehydration can cause death. The usual causes of dehydration are a lot of diarrhoea and vomiting. Dehydration can also occur if you do not eat or drink much during an illness or if you do not drink enough during or after strenuous exercise. Medications that cause fluid loss to control excess body fluid (diuretics) are a common long-term cause. Although anyone can become dehydrated, those who become dehydrated the most easily are: babies under 1 year old the elderly anyone who has a fever people in hot climates. Dehydration caused by diarrhoea is one of the biggest single killers of children in the modern world and diarrhoea itself is one of the major causes of nutritional loss and poor growth. This year, about 2.2 million children will die of dehydration caused by diarrhoea - 80% of them in the first two years of their life. What are the symptoms of dehydration? The degree of dehydration is graded according to signs and symptoms that reflect the amount of fluid lost: In the early stages of dehydration, there are no signs or symptoms. Early features are difficult to detect but include dryness of mouth and thirst As dehydration increases, signs and symptoms develop. These include: thirst, restless or irritable behaviour, decreased skin turgor, dry mucous membranes, sunken eyes, sunken fontanelle (in infants), and absence of tears when crying vigorously. Symptoms of early or mild dehydration include: flushed face extreme thirst, more than normal or unable to drink dry, warm skin cannot pass urine or reduced amounts, dark, yellow dizziness made worse when you are standing weakness cramping in the arms and legs crying with few or no tears sleepy or irritable unwell headaches dry mouth, dry tongue; with thick saliva. Symptoms of moderate to severe dehydration include: low blood pressure fainting severe muscle contractions in the arms, legs, stomach, and back convulsions a bloated stomach heart failure sunken fontanelle - soft spot on a infants head sunken dry eyes, with few or no tears skin loses its firmness and looks wrinkled lack of elasticity of the skin (when a bit of skin lifted up stays folded and takes a long time to go back to its normal position) rapid and deep breathing - faster than normal fast, weak pulse In severe dehydration, these effects become more pronounced and the patient may develop evidence of hypovolaemic shock, including: diminished consciousness, lack of urine output, cool moist extremities, a rapid and feeble pulse (the radial pulse may be undetectable), low or undetectable blood pressure, and peripheral cyanosis. Death follows soon if rehydration is not started quickly. Dehydration From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Dehydration is the removal of water (Greek hydros) from an object. There are many methods of dehydration, with the most common being the application of dry heated air. This causes evaporation of the surface water, which is replaced by water internally. Drying is often used as a method of preserving food and to obtain absolute alcohol. In humans dehydration can be caused by a wide range of diseases and states that impair water homeostasis in the body. Examples are : infectious diseases yellow fever cholera Shigellosis common gastrointestinal viral and bacterial infections resulting in vomiting and diarrhea, also known as gastroenteritis. external or stress related causes Hyperthermia shock blood loss or hypotension due to trauma prolonged physical activity without consuming adequate water, especially in a hot environment dietary imbalances due to nausea restricted salt diets excessive consumption of alcohol other causes of obligate water loss or electrolyte abnormalities severe hyperglycemia in diabetes. Excretion of glucose with urine (glucosuria) is accompanied with water loss. Water is the required solvent. Symptoms may include headaches similar to what is experienced as a hangover, and lower blood pressure and a dizzy feeling when standing up which is called orthostatic hypotension. Extreme cases of dehydration can result in unconsciousness and death. Correction of a dehydrated state is performed by rehydration, and the addition of necessary electrolytes. http://www.rehydrate.org/dehydration/ |

I'll be home early thank goodness and will call him in a little bit if i don't hear from him. I just want him to rest so i also don't wanna wake him up |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 9:10am - an80smetalchick ""] I'm sorry, didn't mean to worry you. If it goes on "more than 24 hours" that he's still losing fluids you should get him some medical attention. Gatorade is very hard on the stomach because of the amount of sugar in it. When you're sick its best to use a product similiar to Pedialyte. It's very easy on the stomach. Pedialyte® Oral Electrolyte Maintenance Solution — the #1 pediatrician recommended solution to prevent dehydration due to diarrhea or vomiting. Pedialyte is specially formulated for infants and children to quickly replace lost fluid http://www.pedialyte.com/ |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 9:18am - ~Carina~ ""] ohhh thanks! i remember pedialyte and that's a great idea..not cheap but excellent stuff! |

| ______________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 9:47am - the_reverend ""] I'm slowly rehydrating. in a few minutes I'm switching to water (from gingerale). I stopped being an ass-fountian around 3am. and I've haven't really vomited that much since 11pm. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 9:52am - ~Carina~ ""] i can buy some pedialyte and come bring it home if you want |

| __________________________________________ [Jun 10,2005 11:32am - an80smetalchick ""] nothing is worse than vomiting meat |

Although urine emerges sterile from the body (unless the person has an infection), poop emerges loaded with bacteria and sometimes other life forms. Many diseases, including food poisoning |
