Sudden new symptoms day before vacation - help!

[sf925415]

So I am literally leaving tomorrow for my first real vacation in like 6 years. And i woke up with sudden nausea all day, threw up once, D, and I cannot really walk around without feeling more nauseous so I'm stuck on the couch feeling gross. And I feel so thirsty. Stomach lots of gurgeling. and it is sore to the touch but that isn't so unusual. the nauseau is though and its a problem.

My roommate did have a stomach bug (she says) a week ago with vomitting, so my first thought is that is what I have. But, I have one night to get better or my trip is going to be in trouble.

i have to feel better in the morning, I cannot travel like this. Do you think going to the ER tonight to get some fluids and maybe they would do an x ray or something would be advisable if I don't feel better in a few hours?

my trip is to a place where medical care will be difficult, so i really would want to know today if this was a problem with my crohns and not a 24 hr bug that will go away

It could be either/or, or it could be both. Sorry to tell you that. Did you buy trip insurance? Good luck!

i just don't want the er to think i'm silly for coming in due to one episode of vomitting and 24 hr of naseous. But i still can't move around at all without getting more nauseous.

okay well i have decided that it could also be from metformin i took this morning, which i hadn't taken in a while, and I didn't take it with food, and it is a 24 hr release max dosage; so it could have GI side effects, though I have taken it for long time. wow it took me out. OR its a bug from my roommate.
