health question...
 

ok last night i went out and had dinner, a pasta dinner with shrimp, shortly after i started to eat it i felt a bit off so i stopped eating it. after i went to my bf's club and then started to feel alot worse, broke out and started to sweat just standing there and started to get dizzy and started to black out. i have never felt something like this before? i think it was the shrimp.. does that sound odd or a reasonable assumption?

I wouldn't think food poisoning would act that fast. Usually it's several hours after you've eaten that you start feeling the effects.

Pregnant?

Sounds like food poisoning to me... Been there once or twice. :(

nope not pregnant, just felt very very weird almost like i was drugged

allergies possibly?

not that i know of, it is a possibility, i also thought of possible dehydration but i was hydrated :(

Seafood works differently (so I was told) one of the two times I have eaten it, I got sick like that. Haven't touched it since. lol

yeah my bf said the same and that it can react almost instantly.. i know he called em and gave em a heads up that their might be a problem with their shrimp... but i just wanna make sure because it scared the shit out of me

Sounds like every overdose I've had.

Jenn, see a doc ASAP. You've been poisoned. Whether it be salmonela or staph is hard to know since it takes at minimum 2 hours to drop unconscious from it. Does this restaurant you went to serve blowfish? If so there might have been cross contamination. Being allergies is unlikely because you would have had blocked airways and had a hard time breathing.

You should see a doc becuase if it is cross contamination or food poisoning it is still in your body damaging your liver and kidneys.

dont do any drugs like that

this was last night when i ate it and felt shitty and im feeling much better, i almost feel like the day after the stomach flu and they dont serve blowfish its boston pizza... i just wanna try and know that it was the food and not have my mind worrie bout it anymore than i already am

Several people told me at the time to eat several slices of white bread minus the crust. Its supposed to absorb & help pass the germs thru faster... but given the sources, it could be one of the old Mom's tales. ;-) I did it anyway!! :winkwink:

Certainly can't hurt at any rate!

burnt toast or if ya have access to charcol drink its great for flushing out your system.. did all that last night and all but i am just scared shitless of what the hell happend because it was nothing like i have felt before

If it was really fast, it might be an alergy . If it took off slowly, probably poisoning

yeah slowly worse and worse, i finished my food around 9 and and 9:30-10ish is when i started feeling it and when i started to black out

Depending on how much you eat, what you ate and how fast your matabolizm is will determine how fast it takes for food poisoning to kick in.. with fish, shrimp, etc.. its alot of water.. it goes through your body fast.. so if it was bad shrimp.. its very possible you got food poisoning.




Now what do you do?

throw up, and take pictures! call a lawyer and doctor and act fast!

yeah i didnt even finish all of it i got full before, as i ate it i could feel it not sittign in my stomach properly.. as for what can i do? aj is going to be over there today to talk with them and take a peak at their kitchen... as for my matabolizm i would say i have a bit fater than average.. just wanna make sure it is the shrimp so i can alteast rest and know it was that

You can suddenly develop allergies to anything. It sounds like a classic allergy to something you were eating. My guess would be the shrimp.

Most likely the shrimp, and definitely sounds like food poisoning...

yeah aj just called and followed up with them, they said at this point they have to get the health department involved.. they offred me a free meal but after that i dont even wanna go near that place

i cant help but think about what i heard on the news recently , about people getting mercury poisioning from seafood.. here, its mainly tunafish.. but, couldnt shrimp be responsible too?

Call your doctor, but in MHO, it was too fast and didn't last long enough to have food poisoning. But again - your doctor will be the best person to talk to about this. :)

Hope you're feeling better Jenn, and find out what caused it!

It doesn't sound like food poisoning, since the affects appeared so suddenly. SOOO many people are allergic to seafood, and allergies can manifest at any time. That's what it sounds like to me. Of course there's always the possibility of the food being drugged, but allergies sounds like a more likely possibility. Check with a doctor, and I hope you feel better!

You're gonna die Jenn. WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!! :eyecrazy

lol

:glugglug

Maybe some twat jacked off in your food and he had an STD and your body was trying to get it out....
There are some fucked up people in this world!

:throwup

Sounds like food poisoning, which can be right away or even to the next day...

you might want to look at msg
monosodiumglutimate
Preserver used often in seafoods.
My firends daughter had asthma,she ate seafood and droped dead from alergic reaction to msg.

if your feeling better today than it may have been anything on that plate that gave you a reaction. from the dish to the spices.


hope u feel better

thanks for all the input im feeling alot better today, anything is better than how i was feeling last night.. but i appreciate all the input on different things it may have been.. i appreciate it

sounds like you had an allergic reaction to the shrimp, of the shrimp was bad

do you feel okay now? I ask because the strain of flu I am just getting over hit me just like that.

Maybe you have crabs?

Ah - good point. I get a "high" feeling when I eat something with MSG. :(

Sounds more like an allergy to shrimp.

Shellfish allergies tend to produce those kinds of symptoms.

Get it checked out by a doctor.

You're just hypoglecimic, do what I do and eat some candy bars when I feel that way
