Holy Crap
I am sorry to learn this, but glad you survived the ordeal.
Thank you for offering your experience to this post. @viraldrome!
I really tried to come at this with some logic and suggest that sometimes the choice is, to get help or die.
I think the whole vomiting thing is never taken seriously enough and we do have to know when a health situation is beyond our own ability to just wait it out.
For anyone who may read this in the future:
Vomiting and or diarrhea, if you can’t get either of those to stop and it’s been more than 12 hours or there’s blood present, get help.
