Bonz_d, Okay seems it isn't over yet. Sorry to hear you're not getting much better either. However, you seriously need to get some quality fluids back into your system, maybe try to sip on some Gatorade or something like that. However, mind you, I am not a doctor and I haven't even slept at a Holiday Inn either. But something is better then nothing... You can go for a longer time without food, but when your system looses too much electrolytes, things get serious quickly too. Hope you do start getting over it soon. We, wife and I, did get our flu shots this year as every year. And I can tell you, there can't be a more scardy-cat about needles then I. But I'd rather take a few seconds of such a shot verses throwing up any day of the week. I'd rather take a bullet to the head then throw up! But of course I do have to do lab-work for regular cholesterol tests as well. So I am getting a whole lot better with those blood draws now... Get better and soon too!
