TT Feeling Sickly Thread

“....ooooouuuh....my bad. Yes, Chili Meister, you're right it is a "dumpling". I should have said "Knödel" instead.”

“Just checking. I thought european dumblings might have been something else entirely.”

“By the way, the Knödels were great. Best I ever made.”

“Chili, there is the whole dumpling as a biscuit or weird type of noodle thing. I always thought dumplings were a sort of biscuit cooked on top of whatever stew one was making, until I moved to NC and they're weird fat slimy noodles. Not a fan.”

“The only dumplings I knew about growing up where the ones in chicken and dumplings.

My mother rolled out the dough into thin sheets and cut it into rectangles and cooked in in the chicken broth.

It's not like a biscuit cooked on top of a stew and it sure as heck isn't like a wet slimey noodle.”

“i'm from chili's neck of the woods, and yea, wet slimey biscuit noodle. nowadays pple strip up flour tortillas.”

“Homemade chicken noodle soup does sound good right about now. Stupid cold/flu thing.”

“Rolled up balls of flour and suet par boiled to soften then sink them in the stew and simmer for an hour.
Thats the UK way I know. awesome.
The slimy noodle version I was served one time in Michigan. WTF I nearly had a coronary yuck.”

“I had an ex wife that was from Michigan, that girl didn't cook anything right.”

“Funny, I never encountered the noodle type in Michigan, only the biscuit-like type. I thought the noodle types were a southern thing.”

“Stupid edit feature


Hey now Roam, them's fightin' words!”

“Dunno the demographics of the things, I was at a Sporting clays shoot and it was served up at the club house. (shudder)”

“oouuughhh...I have been too long in the sauna this morning.
I really should have learned meanwhile that too hot for too long is really bad for me. I have a raging headache and feel nauseous.”

“You're dehydrated girl. Get drinking that water.”

“Maybe you're right. Nevertheless I don't understand, because I have been drinking plenty of water (nearly 1.5 liter) around the time I was in the sauna. Than this afternoon I have been drinking normaly (at least another 1.5 liter tea and mineral drink).”

“are you pregnant?”

“sound slike you just overheated.”

“You might need some salt...not a salt pill. quarter to a half tsp in a glass of water. I like salt on my food so I never have this problem.”

“Hahaha...HPD, you scared me for a second, but no, I am not :-)

I felt that I really drunk enough - a lot more than I usually do, without workout and sauna.
I wonder what it is? Why am I so sensitive to heat and is there anything I can do about it? When I go hiking in summer, I often feel just like that - I get a very bad headache and feel nauseous, once so badly that I vomited. I don't have that problem on cold days. About a week ago I have been on a skiing vacation. I have been skiing all day long with friends - at the end of the days every muscles ached, I was exhausted to the bone and sweated wet through every layer I wore. Yet, no problem with headache and nauseousness.
Now that I think about it, I don't think I remember ever having the problem when hiking on overcast, rainy days.”

“Maybe the heat ^ your blood pressure? Headache and nausea is my primary complaint w/ high blood pressure.”

“Sass, I wonder if you could be right with that.
My 'normal' blood pressure always used to be low. Not so low as to worry about, but low enough so that the nurse would usually comment on it. It never caused me any problems though.
Until maybe 2-3 years ago, when I had the feeling that I had 'peaking' blood pressure, that shot up within seconds, usually as a respond to stress, causing fast bouts of headach, sometimes followed be slight dizziness. Over time even very little stress would trigger it and it happened several times a day.

Now, I wonder why is it that hard physical workout, even unusually hard workout, like a long strenous hike uphill or skiing all day long, usually shoots my blood pressure right into heaven (judging by the wild beating of my heart), but it doesn't seem to cause me those symptoms of headache, nauseaousness and increasing feeling of fatigue. At least not until heat or sunshine adds up to it.

The problem is, that it takes the fun out of going hiking on a bright summer day, because I fear that at the end of the day I will feel terribly sick. Of course, I could go hiking at night, but it's not really the solution I hope for. :-/”

“I was diagnosed w/ hypertension Friday. It's medication and a new diet and something I surely didn't expect at 38 yrs old. Stress is a factor, along w/ hereditary. It sucks, but if you think it may be an issue start stopping into the pharmacy to check it occasionally. Nothing to mess around with.”

“Poor HPM. It's his birthday and he hasn't been out of bed yet thanks to a gut bug acquired in Nashville last week.”

“My parents visited last week and left a nasty sinus infection behind. Great, just what I effing need right now. This happens every time they visit. I know a way to stop that... .;)”

“Thought I had a gall bladder problem, er docs diagnosed a kidney infection, follow up doctor diagnosed Shingles, thinks to the rash I developed yesterday. The pain was bad over the weekend, but have let up significantly.”

“Take care of yourself, please.

Doug”

“Not feeling well today, myself. This is self-inflicted. A little too much celebrating yesterday at a local winery...”

“Hahaha... Techntek had a hangover....
I had one Sunday... Suck it up, big baby ;)”

“wine hangovers are the worst”

“Gem & stomper, yeah, today has been rough. I've had better hangovers from tequila. Ha!

A friend posted some videos on Facebook of me laughing my @ss off while I was still completely drunk yesterday. Not gonna post any links. Nuh-uh, not gonna do it. :-O”

“note to self: look up tech LAO on facebook....”

“Shingles rash may be fading but the pain just won't let up. It's been 1 month since I went to the ER. It still feels like I have a large 2nd degree burn on the outside, a broken rib/ punctured organs on the inside, plus back pain. My lovely doctor will not prescribe any more narcotics so in a few days I'll be SOL. Joy. I haven't done a damn thing so far this summer because of this, other than 2 mile walks early in the morning when it's still halfway cool. I can't wear most of my clothes because the texture and movement of fabric is agonizing. I hope it lets up a bit by next weekend, since there's downhill mtn. bike races at Beech Mtn. that I'd like to go to. I won't wish this on anyone.”

“Bless it....I'm sorry you have to go through this!!!”

“I knew this would be bad, but I really had no idea about "pain management" prior to this, and how NOT helpful my doctor is.”

“When my doctor isn't helpful, I get a new doctor.”

“I am sorry treebait. Hope you are feeling better soon. If it feels anything like my burn I had a while back... I feel for you. It was awful! But at least my pain went away after a couple of days. I can only imagine how you feel...”
