Feeling less than Perfect

We were down in the city to go to doctors appointments, we left first appointment from Heart Hospital and stopped at a burger place we had been to in Stillwater and Norman, Ok.

I got sick less than 30 minutes of eating a burger and coke with ice. We ate inside April 19 and I had to stop at a business just a block away to go to restroom. After leaving the restroom we drove to mothers, I was sick all night and then came home the next morning. On the way home I called to see if I could get in to see my doctor. He told me to come in the next day; April 21. 

I told him about getting sick after eating the burger, he said a virus was going around and that is what was making me ill. He ask me to go to the hospital to pick up test tube bottles. I came back here and then took the 4 test tube bottles at the hospital the next day. The first test came back, nurse said it was bacterial infection and was given medication that druggist said I was allergic to. The medication gave me abdominal pains every time I took it. I called back to doctor this past Monday, I left a message for his nurse that I couldn't take the medication because it wasn't agreeing with my stomach so he prescribed another medication this time it doesn't make me sick. Tuesday, May 4 one of  doctors nurse calls me to say they just got the report from one of my test tube bottles that I have Salmonella poisoning. 

That's what I thought all along. It's been 17 days since this nightmare started. I've had nausea, fever, chills, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and terrible headaches. 

Notes I found on Google: 

(((Can you die from salmonella? Salmonella is rarely fatal, but if the bacteria enters your bloodstream, it can be life-threatening, especially for people with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly, the very young, and those with diseases

How long does food poisoning last? Most cases of food poisoning last about 1 to 2 days and symptoms resolve on their own. If symptoms persist longer than that, the person should contact their health-care professional. Cyclospora infections may be difficult to detect and diarrhea may last for weeks.

In otherwise healthy people, symptoms should go away in 2 to 5 days, but they may last for 1 to 2 weeks. People who have been treated for salmonella may continue to shed the bacteria in their stool for months to a year after the infection.))))
