Yeah, I'd definitely call the doc, Teppy.
Am at work. Craziness!

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What sj said, Teppy. This sounds like it's been going on much too long.
Just since Thursday night. Not to pooh-pooh it, but it's actually only been 3 1/2 days. It *sucks* to be going through it, but 3 1/2 days is actually a very short amount of time for gastroenteritis.
My doctor will tell me to do what I've been doing: fluids, bland food, chill out. Just because it sucks doesn't mean he can fix it.

Ok. Well, take care, you.

And I'm not pooh-poohing all y'all's concern; it's just that there's not much a doctor could do for me. If I were severely dehydrated, I could go to the ER and get IV fluids, or if my stomach pain were worse, I could beg for big gun antimotility drugs, but I'm not dehyrdated my stomach pain is less, so I just have to keep doing what I've been doing.
(Which apparently is complaining a lot.)
Believe me; I'm the first one to run to the doctor if something is fixable. I would if it were.

You culd have a tummy transplant.

If it would be smaller, I'd be all for that!

I will just wish you faster alleviation of the pain, then. My tummy upsets rarely last past a day (unless it's an outright flu), so I'd probably be in a panic by now!

I hope you feel better, Steph. My only thought to add about calling the doctor is to get ruled out whatever they need to rule out earlier rather than later.
This morning my DH has a big annual meeting type thing, so he rode with the puppy and I into the city. He was getting the pup out of the car at daycare when she and he zigged and zagged in opposite directions, with the puppy basically falling out of the car. She was limping, and didn't seem to be walking it off, so we kissed my DH good-bye, and puppy and I went to the vet to get her leg checked. The vet thinks she may have damaged her cruciate ligament and if that is so, she'll need surgery. We see the surgeon tomorrow. Any spare ~better read of the x-ray ma you have lying around would be much appreciated.
