Oh, lordy, have I been sick for the past four days! I haven't been able to keep anything down, including liquids, since Thursday, and I've had a temperature running as high as 102.5. Yuck. Finally, I'm feeling a bit better today. The question has been whether my symptoms are from the evil cancerous tumors in my tummy, gastroenteritis, or the initial response to my new treatment regimen, which started on Thursday. We're hoping its the latter. We almost went to the emergency room yesterday, as I was soooooo dehydrated and my temp was pretty high, but as of 9:00 last night, I was feeling a lot better, and was able to drink some powerade overnight.
Today has been touch and go, but my temp is only running around 99, and I'm taking tylenol for that. I was even able to eat granola bar and not feel like I was going to bring it back up immediately. I'm feeling well enough now to go off to the movies. We had originally planned to go see the new Indy movie Friday night, but, well, um, yeah. I'm a bit weak from lack of calories, but I'm slowly (and carefully) trying to fix that.
I'll give you an update on the movie when we get back!
Toodle-ooo!

Marilyn had similar experiences to what you are going through in the temperature and dehydration front. There would be days she had a high temp, high heart rate and couldn't drink at all. Sometimes we would take her to the hospital, sometimes not. Sometimes something seriously was wrong, sometimes the temp and nausea went away all by themselves in a day.
Not much help other than to say what you're going through sounds normal to me.
